So those who read WIT's blog

[MrsCampbellBlack]

Now I love her blog and think she seems lovely. But I am such a meanie as follow her on twitter and am just smiling to myself at her hunt for a coming home dress - I'm assuming from hospital post-birth.

She has just linked to a cream silk dress.

So is the coming home dress from hospital a new thing? God knows I love an oppertunity to shop but that really never occurred to me.

Most fashion blogs acknowldege if something is a freebie though - does WIT?

I think she is a bit bonkers - she'd have to be to wear those godawful shoes she's so fond of. :)

[MrsCampbellBlack]

Remus I so know you are sat there right now in your studded leopard print louboutins

I think some bloggers are honest when they get free stuff but a lot aren't. But as a fashion editor she's presumbably going to get a discount everywhere

I am being mean, I know, but all these "Ooh look at me!" blogs do so invite a collective rolling of the eyes.

I do like WIT's style and I love Red but it is irksome that she's endlessly plugging fugly Smythson £200 notebooks and £60 Bliss Spa manicures that she's getting for free on the sly. At least Atlantic Pacific and the Jessica Quirke blog are honest about their 'courtesy of' items.

You never know she might pull it off. She could stay in a nice private hospital for a week, have a maternity nurse to do night feeds and choose to bottle feed.
The worst of the bleeding/leaking might be over then.

Prob not though, I was sweating for weeks! Also not much you can do about baby sick!

Now that I've kids (and even before I had children) I feel so sorry for princess Di after her babies. Rem her photo shoot on day 2 or 3 or something completely unreasonable like that? All dressed, hair done, make-up on, looking lovely, boobs bursting, bruised bum, episiotomy/section scar, sweating, knackered, still fat, wondering will you make it to the car, and the wonderful day 3 blues.

What an absolute nightmare.

I am torn here. Yes laughing at people isn't nice, and doubtless she will look a LOT better leaving hospital than I did (I still have the photo that DH insisted on taking....luckily DD looked cute, but my moon faced kaftan wearing look was NOT!) However - WIT, Get A Grip, Woman. Cream?! Are you mad....?

[MrsCampbellBlack]

The thing is now that so many people have said cream is mad to her on twitter that she's backed into a corner. I suspect she is channelling Sophia Loren playing new mother in the 1950's.

And she'll probably do it

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

'Playing mother' sounds spot on actually. Cream dresses and baby perfume and buying zillions of outfits are the playing - reality is the leaky boobs and muslin squares, and baby living in babygrows for months because everything else needs ironing etc.

I didn't know about the all-white honeymoon wardrobe. Now that really IS bonkers!

[lurkingaround]

Didn't know about the all white honeymoon stuff either. Oh dear.

And I agree with another poster, why on earth would you smother your delicious, edible baby smell with perfume?!!!! It's a little sad she might miss that. Hopefully reality will bite.

[AmberNectarine]

Apart from the bleeding, when the baby is first born is probably her best opportunity to wear cream for the next five years. At least a newborn won't be coming at you covered in chocolate/paint/tomato/mud.

I just cannot imagine wanting to get my gladrags on post my 30hr labour, episotomy and forceps delivery. Even after DD who was a six hour cinch with only 20 stitches I wouldn't have fancied it. Yoga pants are your friend, WIT.

[IShallPracticeMyCurtsey]

Right, I just went on to her Twitter specifically to have a look at this dress.

It rather made me weep for loveliness.

WON'T SOMEBODY THINK OF THE DRESS!?
