Thanks for your Waterfall Blouse-love…I’m excited there are so many people out there who want to sew themselves one. And especially excited that there are so many of you pregnant (or soon to be pregnant) who are looking forward to having an easy and flattering maternity top for them to sew.
But, what about those of you who aren’t pregnant? I told you that I would share some pics of my gorgeous sister-in-law modelling the exact same top that I am wearing in the previous post. She is (obviously) not pregnant, I was 28 weeks in the photos so I think it gives you a good comparison of how versatile the top really is.
The fit is equally flattering for those with a baby bump and those without (and those with some left-over!) and I love that adding a belt to the midriff or under the bust gives the top a completely different look!
And for another non-pregnant look at the Waterfall Blouse, check out Rachels. I love her all-black version, it looks extremely classy and stylish!
The Waterfall Blouse – a brand new maternity-friendly pattern from Make It Perfect!
The Waterfall Blouse is a flattering and comfortable top to satisfy all body shapes.
This versatile top is suitable for all women – including those who are pregnant! The Waterfall Blouse is a maternity-friendly, loose-fitting top that leaves ample room for your expanding baby bump.
And with soft gathers above the bust, the Waterfall Blouse promises a flattering fit whether you are pregnant or not!
Wear the blouse loose fitted for a more relaxed look or add your favourite belt to give your body more definition.
You can choose to sew this top in a single fabric or two contrasting farbics and with options to include fold-up sleeve cuffs and elastic casing at the hemline, you can easily fill your wardrobe with many different versions of the Waterfall Blouse!
I’ve been getting requests for maternity patterns for years! And I’ve had good intentions to produce one, but I guess it took me being pregnant to give me the motivation to get to work. This top started out totally different in sketch-form and it was a lot trickier than I anticipated to come up with a pattern for a top that would easily suit both pregnant and non-pregnant women. My biggest priority was to make sure that the pattern could be used for all women, not just those who are pregnant, whilst still achieving a flattering maternity-style.
The Waterfall Blouse ticks all those boxes and more! I’ll share some pics in a few days of my (not pregnant) sister-in-law wearing the same top as I’m wearing above to show you how the top can easily fit us both. I’m especially excited about having some tops that I can comfortably wear after I’ve had the baby – ones that look pretty but help to cover the post-baby bulges and are easy to breastfeed in.
