Maternity Make-overs

Its really incredible that my mom just finished having children 7 years ago. When I was visiting during Spring Break, she let me rummage through a couple boxes of her maternity clothes. I picked out a few things I figured I could update a little: Before
All I did with this one was take in the sleeves so they weren't so flowy and gaping, and ruche up the sides with elastic. 

With the black dress, I took off the ribbon bow, cut the sleeves shorter, added elastic, and added a sash!
My mom wearing this one 23 years ago, holding me!With the plaid, I took off the neck tie and added it to the waist, finished the v-neckline, took off the red on the arms and pleated the new shorter sleeves.
Maybe these all still scream 80s to you, but I love them! Thanks mom!

No way, you totally updated them! It must be so trippy for your mom to see you in her old maternity clothes! How fun!
