Hi! This is going to sound really funny, and in some ways it is… Of course, if you are in MY situation, it’s not quite so funny… At least, not to me.
See, it’s like this – I’m pregnant (I know, big duh). The issue now is clothing. I now officially have 2 pairs of pants that will be relegated to the back of the closet until after the baby is born (and then hopefully I’ll be able to wear them again – if the goddess is kind to me).
I also have NO clothing to fit into at this point besides to pairs of crop stretch pants, which will only work as long as the weather is good – and I have no skirts or dresses that will fit, either.
The issue? My hips. Not my waist, not my legs… just my hips and butt. If it was the waist, I could simply pull out the darts on the pants – but no, it’s the hips – no way to widen them.
Also, I have no fabric to MAKE new clothes. While I have stuff that’s been sitting for a while for projects, they’re all already cut – so, nothing usable to make clothing with. So – I’m asking, BEGGING even – if you have 3-4 yards of fairly good-quality solid fabric, OR if you have pregnancy slacks in my size, please email me… I really need to have some help here, as I work in an office environment – I can’t wear stretch crop athletic pants all the time…
Thank you!

Re: To stem the tide of hips... (x-posted)
Thu, September 6, 2007 - 7:35 AMDon't forget that the material that is already cut can be pieced together (which is totally fashionable right now!!) to make skirts, tunics or dresses -- I have been doing a lot of that with old things that don't fit or hang badly but have really cool material.
E-mail me at drumwench1 at msn.com as I do have several yards of blue, fuzzy stretchy stuff (yep, thats the technical name as far as I am concerned :) which will need to be washed but should do for something or other -- dark blue, makes the hips look smaller! I am in Portland about once a week (VA Hospital) so we could meet up somewhere on that side of town if it works.
Good luck and congratulations!!
