~* Pregnant Goth Outfits *~

As you may have guessed, I've been struggling with the newborn baby bat so I've had zero free time to blog... So I thought I would show you some outfit photos from when I was pregnant as well as a post pregnancy picture (while I was still in hospital). I never got big in this pregnancy, and often people thought I was not pregnant at all. This was unfortunately due to my placenta and other medical issues. But I can assure you, I definitely was pregnant; and I now have a 3 and a half month old baby to prove it! :o)

One Month Pregnant -  Trip to Eltham Mini-Railway - I wore my black straw-like hat which I decorated with a handmade headband that my relative made; teamed with a lace cardigan, a Nightmare Before Christmas t-shirt, and a handmade fabric brooch!

 

4 Months Pregnant - I was off to a birthday party so I had to bring my new coffin purse with me! Also wearing a lace babydoll dress, leggings with jewels on the sides, and one of my new brooches that has a chain attached to it.

6 Months Pregnant - Family gathering for Mothers' Day! We went to a lovely chinese restaurant for lunch. I wore a skull in my favourite soft velvety hat, my rose tapestry skirt brooch, velvet short-sleeve cardigan, spiderweb top, chiffon-like skirt and my butterfly necklace again.

Post Pregnancy Outfit - pictured here in the waiting room of the hospital not long after my daughter's birth and my hospital stay. Dressed very casually here in my "We're all a little Mad" Alice in Wonderland t-shirt... 

~* Quick Update and a couple of Outfits *~

Thanks for your patience everyone! I know it has been forever since I posted to the blog - due to my pregnancy and the baby-bat's birth etc - however there are a great deal of future entries that I've been working on! Stay tuned! I just need time to complete everything and at the moment my baby-bat is not allowing me to do anything, including sleep.

In the mean time, here are a few recent-ish outfits:

I wore this ensemble to a child's second birthday party last year (before I was pregnant of course). In sewing class, I converted a vintage mourning dress into a top and skirt (since I never really wear dresses, I knew I'd get more wear out of it if it was a top and skirt).

With my cardigan on, here is the end result:

And with my cardigan off - you can see the interesting sleeves:

The fabric was sort of cheese-clothy, I can't describe it, but it was really comfortable for the hot weather. I'm also wearing my adorable choker that was handmade by a lovely lady and I purchased it at the Black Market (alternative goth market) last year!

Also, just a couple of weeks ago, I treated myself to an afternoon of delightful thrift shopping (known as opp shopping in Australia) and unearthed splendid stuff: including black eye shadow, a Buffy top, a Mad Hatter top (pictured below), a Lolita style skirt (shown below), & cute gothy shoes for the babybat! Bliss!

You can see how I look post-pregnancy here - obviously I need to lose a fair bit of weight but I haven't been able to exercise for a few months. I hardly have time to even have a shower these days! The challenges of looking after a newborn and a toddler have been a lot more difficult than I thought! Here's hoping things will improve soon so I can function as a human again.
