Gathered Front Maternity Dress Hack, Sewing Tutorial

Hey friends! I’ve got a fun maternity dress sewing hack for you today: how to add gathering in the center front of a dress! This is a wonderful modification for accommodating a growing bump, especially later in your pregnancy! I used a combination of two patterns for this: The Be Captivating and Breezy dresses, both of which are linked below. You can use just the Breezy dress if you like, but I added the crossover front so as to make it nursing-friendly as well!

Deanna where do you get your fabrics from?? You have some of prettiest floral prints!

OMG this is absolutely perfect... can I suggest a nursing hack for a dress as well?

[@EllieandMacPatternsLLC]

Absolutely, I'll get on it! How about a lift-up style nursing dress, using the Monday Morning dress or Breezy?

[@alejandrarecalde2118]

Either one, but I'm partial to the Breezy pattern... THANKS!!! I'm trying to keep up with all your pregnancy hacks since we are trying for baby #2 😁

[@momma1208]

Any suggestions on a video to watch about gathering? I'm a total newbie!

[@CB-jv6cj]

Such a shame this video wasn't posted a few weeks ago. Now I've got 3 weeks left till my due date and the weather isn't great 😂 Such a beautiful pattern.

[@EllieandMacPatternsLLC]

Congratulations! On to some baby clothes sewing then!
