This is the #17 maternity top from Ottobre 2-2008. Made from a beautiful rayon/spandex knit. It is a simple t-shirt with side gathers. Unfortunately this shirt had a run-in with a washing machine full of warm water. The warm water triumphed over the shirt and caused it to shrink about 3" in length. Arrrgh!
With the 10-gore skirt. Looks great doesn't it?
The other maternity top in this issue is #19. Originally made with short puffed sleeves, I morphed the long sleeves from #17 onto this shirt. I love the rounded yoke and the hem band that causes the top to cup your belly instead of hanging straight down. This is made from a putty colored viscose/spandex knit bought from SawyerBrook Fabrics (yes....again).
I don't know how the rest of the world is but I am really hard on light colored shirts. This top and the top from my previous post probably won't make it all the way through my pregnancy. I'm sure that I'll manage to spill something on them that won't come out!

You've got a great wardrobe going there! Those Ottobre shirts are really nice.
I remember making most of my maternity wardrobes for both children. Unfortunately I was due with one in September in Florida and the other in February in New Hampshire. I couldn't even reuse any pieces - so I had to start from scratch.
