Fashion Report: The pregnant ballerina look is IN
June 9th, 2007 by amp 
God help us. A recent shopping expedition with a friend for wedding attire made me want to punch a baby. Now, my friend works out 4-5 times a week, has an amazing shape, and knows what silhouettes flatter her best (in other words; a slinky, bias cut, bombshell dress). We looked everywhere (East Bay, SF, online…). Nothing. The only look available is empire waist dresses, empire waist everything.
Do you know this look?! If you’ve ever been in a maternity store you do. I guess by putting a seam under your boobs it’s supposed to make them look bigger and create some sort optical illusion to hide everything else. But really, there’s no better way to look pregnant. Why wasn’t this f’ing look in style when I was pregnant?! You could be beautiful Jessica Alba, size 1, and still look dumpy in this hideous concoction. And when coupled with those hideous gigantic graphic prints of the seventies, and some ballet flats, WOW, you can really look retarded. Haven’t you always wanted to look like a pregnant ballerina?

Pregnant is “the new black.” And dumpy is “the new hot.”

Al - I tried to email you back but your email address “bounced” me twice - some error with your email address/inbox “address does not exist.”
Anyway, drop me a line - Happy Birthday.

LOL. I got married when I was 5 months pregnant, so I got the best of both fashion worlds: maternity and wedding. And yes, my wedding dress had an empire waistline. Sorry.

I really don’t like those dresses, they’re so ugly!
