Megan Nielsen ruched maternity skirt

Can't really see the bump.

Yeah, there it is.

Rather unexciting behind view.

And bump from the left.

This is a high yield pattern.  It's easy and quick to make and once finished, gets lots of wear.  I made mine from black cotton lycra and had already gone through the wash quite a few times before I could even get any photos in it.  I love that the waist goes over the bump.  As someone who carries all out front, I don't really like wearing floaty maternity wear because it makes me feel huge.  But this skirt means I can wear the floaty tops under it!  You can't really see the ruching in the above photos because it is black, so check out the link below for the line drawing.  This is the first MN pattern I have bought and I'm thinking it probably won't be the last.  I think I'm sorted for maternity wear at the moment so perhaps I'll think about her other patterns some time next year.  All you pregnant bloggers that may be reading - get thyself this pattern!

  1. Just perfect for these hot days we are having at the moment. You do seem to be 'all-bump' ...J

  2. I haven't got it and don't plan to, I'm quite curvy down stairs, I like to minimize not maximize. You look great, wherever did you get your top from? It's lovely!

    1. Actually this pattern is pretty fitting around the derrière. I meant to mention that in this post. I wouldn't wear this skirt to work because it's not conservative enough for me but I'll wear it the other five days of the week. The top is target and came in a bag of maternity clothes from a friend although I'm pretty sure it isn't actually maternity because it doesn't reach the bottom of my bump anymore! Should be good for nursing I reckon.
