Thanks for the list. My hubby and I just bought our costumes last night and ended up deciding to go as Harry Potter and pregnant Hermione We thought it would be fun to be an unexpected, funny pair!

With our first daughter my husband and I dressed like a pregnant house wife from the fifties and the milk man. 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 was around my fifth month when Halloween hit, and I am SO not into cute or jokey costumes. 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

@Michelle—great costume! Of course, where I live, I have to worry about keeping warm instead! We still haven’t picked costumes this year. Hm…. maybe I have a post idea….

I’m going as Aphrodite the Goddess of fertility. Not only can you make this very easily, but it really comfortable, and temperature wise very cool!

Have a happy Halloween!
