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!

Sun, September 23, 2007 - 9:37 PMHi there, I can feel for you about the "getting something that'll fit" situation.
I work at Fabric Depot, and between the 40% off sale and a few other places I can think of, I can look into helping you get outfitted before the cold. PM me and do what I can to help.
