2 Little Hooligans

Maternity Shirt

With only 7 weeks left until our third baby is due, I have been having a hard time finding comfy shirts to fit over my belly. I have purchased way too many from Old Navy lately and had to return them because they were too short. They fit great on the arms and chest but once washed a few times they become belly shirts 🙂 So I decided to try and make a few shirts of my own. I went to the thrift store and bought a men’s XL turtle neck shirt. I made it with 3/4 sleeves and flared it out on the sides. I’m still debating if I want to keep it a turtle neck shirt or not. I love the way it turned out. It is so comfy and its keeping that big belly of my covered!!

Here is the shirt I started with…

…the finished product!

Can you believe how big that belly is? YIKES! So what do you think GIRL or BOY??

  1. Hey! I'm just a few days ahead of you in due date, I think! (And I say it's impossible to tell girl or boy unless you do a side shot… my boys always stick out way in front, while the girl was a little more all around.) Great job on the shirt. I've got the same problem, but never thought of doing that! What do you mean by flaring out the sides? Did you make the fit more snug or cut out something to allow space?

  2. WooHoo a fellow preggo! I made the bottom flare out a little to allow for a little more room and so it wasn't tight fitting at all.

  3. Hi,

    You have a nice blog. A 40-week pregnancy is really just a blip in our whole life time, but the problem with clothing during that time is very painful. Keeping this in mind, two best friends and mother of two children each started http://www.bellybundles.com. We have high quality maternity clothes there and we would like to hear your feedback on our products.

    Thanks,
