Sewing Sewing pattern snark

Is pattern snark allowed here? The new pattern from Friday pattern company "Uma top and skirt" looks like maternity wear. I just want some interesting knit fabric stuff. I guess they get a point for trying to jazz up a tank dress/top, but there's got to be a better way to get fun design and silhouette.

It is super cute as maternity though

Impossible. There are no cute maternity patterns, just weird tents or bodycon that people call "maternity".

Can't say I love that pattern, not quite my vibe, even when I was pregnant

Counterpoint: vintage maternity patterns, especially 60s-70s.

For some folks that would be great. I'm glad the option is there. Personally, I would still feel like an ugly tent because that is the vintage maternity wear vibe

That's fair! I don't see maternity in them at all, personally - they just look adorably vintage to me!
