With an elastic waistband it would be easy to wear over the postpartum bulge, and if you put a zip at both shoulders (instead of just one, which the pattern dictates) you could even unzip to nurse!

I have a pair of pants the same color. Nice thing is you can wear it as either. I love this pattern. It's not one I noticed before but I could definitely see this as a great dress to wear to a wedding. And how do you pronounce tricot? I've always pronounced it just how it looks ("try-cot"-- like a redneck) but my mom just recently told me she thinks it's pronounced "tree-koh."liza janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16916364137307894200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5695034534740404365.post-71874866715501808792013-02-18T09:58:03.974-05:002013-02-18T09:58:03.974-05:00Love that shoulder zip...adds just enough sass!

Whenever I'm not sure of a color in a fabric I take it over to the north facing windows of our house to get an accurate take on the color.Phyllishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04668161467072636784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5695034534740404365.post-54408330009989063412013-02-18T08:56:39.561-05:002013-02-18T08:56:39.561-05:00Lovely!
