    Caftans?

    I adore a good muumuu! I live in muumuus & day dresses! I'd think I'd like to find a good patio dress too! This is my favorite muumuu! I like to cinch a wide white belt around the waist & wear it with a nice classic wedge to dress it up a bit! (Photo courtesy of SailorPinkVintage)

    That reminds me: can anyone point me to information on adjusting sizing on patterns? I'm having trouble finding patterns big enough for me!! (and they say women were not as skinny and 'fuller figured' back then!! I think not!)

    Weight loss options

    Thanks! Those are Devine! In an old Sears Catalog, I saw several cute dresses that were adjustable! The caption said something like great for before during or after maternity.
