OMG, that shirt fucking ROCKS! Can you make me a non-maternity one?! Heeehee.
you look adorable, btw.
I'd have spent good, good money on a shirt like that when I was pregnant. Best. Shirt. Ever.
That shirt is awesome! And despite the largeness of the child in there, you look small :) Will let that awesomeness serve as inspiration to learn to use the sewing machine that's still in a box in my dining room!
I still friggin love that fabric and how fierce is that shirt? ! Love it!
Make me one?! LOL!!! Is that a maternity shirt pattern? I may have to have my grandma try that out for me. It's very cute. Although I usually just stick to Gap maternity tshirts.
Did you really steal Charlie's pillowcase? That shirt is the best. I think you might be on to something . . .
Whoa, you're pretty hot for a headless chick.
I love love love that top!!! Fantastic, lady.
Love it. The world needs more pinkly-pirated preggos.
YES. love. it. although, could you embroider a white skull and crossbones over each nipple? Thanks, that would complete my life.
Awesome.
I agree, you do look small for such a big baby.
LOVE IT, but that's just leftover fabric, right? You didn't take apart Charlie's pillowcase did you?
Delurking to say: You are so incredibly badass.
Wow, you really don't look that big for 36 weeks. I love the shirt! I don't think I would break down and sew even for a cute and comfortable maternity shirt. Maybe in 11 more weeks I will have changed my mind!

Love it, especially love how feminine it is with the little collar. Thanks for the breast adjustment instructions. If I ever use our poor, neglected sewing machine again, I'll definitely need them!
It's a beautiful sight to see.
Hilarious, and looks comfortable too. Well done! (Did you make any other ones?)
You look great. Congratulations on the 36-week milestone, and baby's estimated weight. That's really wonderful.
Thanks. And yes, I did make another, out of this fabric. Because, really, who doesn't need a little more jiggle?
Delurking to say that I had a weird worlds-colliding moment when I saw this pop up in my RSS reader. There are two kinds of blogs that I read: the so-called mommy blogs (sorry if I just made you cringe) and sewing blogs. Seeing a reference to a FBA in your post made my head spin with the madness of these two online worlds colliding. :) And your top is awesome, and fits great too!
OMFG! You didn't! I love it!
Oh my god. Yes, that is, in fact, the best maternity top ever. And the jiggle fabric? Oh my god, oh my god.
I love the biker waitress look!! Very becoming! ;-)
That shirt stinking rocks. I would kill for that kind of creative -- I was doomed to mall shopping.
Best. Shirt. Ever. Maternity or otherwise.
I am SOOOOOOO jealous. And I think you can totally make money with that. For the baby, you know. In case Prince does not, you know, dedicate that album to you.
And I am still jealous.
Awesome blouse!

Dean: Are you a pirate?
Triana: What?
Dean: It's just you have a Jolly Roger on your blouse, and I was wondering...
Triana: Oh, yeah. I was going for a kind of Adam and the Ants retro type of ... did you just say blouse?

Hurray for 36 weeks!
That's H.O.T.T!
Here's my list of comments:
-you really don't look that big - if that was a 'full breast adjustment', I guess mine would be a 'holy crap those jugs can't fit anywhere else' adjustment.
-I love the shirt, and hope you wear it when you drop Charlie at daycare with his pillow in his hand - matching mommy and son pirates - most excellent
-36 weeks!!!
-mall maternity shirts suck. badly.
-Jiggle!!!!!!
xoxo
Bootiful! If I didn't think that I'd just have to go and buy more mall maternity tops, I'd throw out my mall maternity tops as a celebration of your awesomeness.
Also, I'd just like to take this opportunity to call you as asshole because 36 weeks you may be, but you look decidedly unhippoesque and I really think you should have the decency to look like a hippo. I'm 13 weeks and I look more of a hippo. I'm boycotting your blog as a protest against your unhippoesqueness(except for daily check ins for updates ... of course).
36 weeks. Full term. YOU GO GIRL!!!! And btw, that shirt kicks ass.
That is one nice maternity shirt. I am jealous of your skills. And, love the headless photo.
That is the coolest shirt ever!! I love that material
You left out (- head)
Delurking to say OMFG that is the Best Shirt Ever. Well done!
fucking adorable!!
Very cool
LOL way to cool!! You look great!!!
I have images off while connecting via cell phone and it was totally worth it to see *that* pillowcase as the shirt!!
Brilliant!!
Fantastic shirt - you need to start a business with these!

CHARLIE'S PILLOW??
Awww =[
On other note, we Louisiana ladies are very proud. This shirt just screams "Kickin' ass and taking names, argh!"
i think i love you!
that was too much. even for you. BUT I AM LOVING IT!
I thought I loved you before. But now my desire is as intense as the white hot burning sun.
It's amazing how slimming skull-and-crossbones fabric is on a woman carrying a giant baby--who knew!
SO glad to hear where things are at with you. Good luck with this last bit.
Honestly, with 4 weeks left you are going to sew? Come on! Can't you just be naked for 4 weeks? It's hot - No one would fault you...
(whoo Hoo! Good for you!)
By the way... I think it's time you started the betting pool! Guess the EXACT weight and length of the baby and get all of Julie's old meds left over from Dr. You Just Made My Boat Payment.
ARRRRRR!
That is just great looking. I'm sure everyone you meet will be asking you where you got it. A possible money spinner? :)
