yo i'm a shorty

topic posted Tue, May 13, 2008 - 8:13 AM by  H.P. Meow Me...
i've always been a shorty (5'2), but at five and half months preggo, i've become a wide-y, too. i've been pretty sick and shopping is the LAST thing on my mind right now. actually, it's usually the last thing on my mind. i'm a hand me down and clothing swap queen. and unpicky in the extreme. and now i'm wondering what i can get on my big old bootay for the next doc visit. i'm down to a threadbare pair of sweats, the most hideous skirt on earth (but comfortable!) and a muumuu that shows the world my newly extra grande knockers. i don't really need anything fancy or formal -- i'm in bed most of the time. i'm just finding the loose skirt and dress and the sweats most comfortable right now. looking for a box of clothes to fit my growing bod, especially if you are short and have comfortable, relaxed lay-about type maternity clothes like sweat pants and very casual skirts/dresses that won't scrape the floor when worn by a woman with the stature of a forest sprite. maybe this is too specific. really, anything you've got that will work on a short frame will probably come in handy.

    I have a couple of pairs of really scruffy maternity pants that were the most comfortable things in the world. I LIVED in them, which is why they are so scruffy. They're the only things I hadn't yet given away cause I would still be wearing them if I didn't lose so much weight from nursing. Anyway, they're stretchy cotton, maybe polyester blend material with a rollover waist and gaucho style legs, I think is what you'd call it, kind of looks like a skirt but they're pants, come just below the knee (I'm a few inches taller than you so maybe a bit longer on you). Really unattractive shades of brown and gray and a bit pilled. But if you really don't much mind what they look like and don't get any better offers, PM me your address and I'll send them on.

      I have a few pair of shorts that would go under the belly, if you want. They're pretty short, so probably wouldn't work for going to the doc but would be great for around the house. I love them, but can only wear so many pair myself. You're welcome to send me a pm with your address and I'll send them out.
