Note from designer: Garment shown is a size Large and is modeled on what appears to be a size medium. It doesn’t show the indicated designed ease of negative 2”. It’s not really meant to be a maternity style, although shown on this smaller-than-intended model, I can certainly see the possibilities for it. When shown on the intended size, it doesn’t have nearly as much fabric draping in the front. For more tips, information and assistance, be sure to visit my Ravelry group here.
