I was 9 months pregnant with my daughter for halloween in'08. I painted most of my body gold and wrapped up in a gold sheet and went as Buddha :) These are all really good ideas.

I wasn't feeling anything cute, just feeling fat. :) this way I got to wear my slouchy pants and a tshirt. But I have another party to go to and love the idea of harry potter and pregnant hermione!

Everyone thought it was super cute. Don't know what we're going to do this time around b/c we want to include baby.

I'm into historical re-enactment, so I planned ahead and bought a medieval-style surcoat and undergown for when I could no longer lace up my bodices and corsets. I belted it wherever it felt comfortable and off I went. A lot of historical costumes made space for bellies, either with high waists or a loose shape -- Empire/ Regency (Jane Austen gowns, i.e. "Pride and Prejudice), Italian Renaissance ("Ever After"), Greek/ Roman/ biblical (remember, Mary had to be pregnant before the Nativity ;). A friend of mine wore a beautifully embroidered Middle Eastern caftan she found online, and a Folkwear pattern I finished recently could have definitely given me all the space I needed (the Afghani Dress). Sorry it's a bit late -- I surfed in via Yahoo. Maybe for next year ;) www.costumes.org (Everything you could possibly need for ideas or purchasing) www.simplicity.com (Simplicity Pattern company site) www.mccall.com (McCall's and Butterick Pattern sites) www.sensibility.com (Sense and Sensibility, for its fabulous Empire gown pattern) www.folkwear.com (Historical and ethnic patterns galore) I was around my fifth month when Halloween hit, and I am SO not into cute or jokey costumes.
