I didn’t realize that Hobbs has so many pieces that are machine washable! This dress is completely crafted from machine-washable fabric. The neckline seems flattering because it’s not too high or too low, and the darts and sleeves seems flattering as well. In general, it looks like a hit. It’s available in UK sizes 6-18 at Hobbs for $270. Cap Sleeve Lynsey Dress
A couple of lower-priced options are here and here, and here’s a plus-size option.

I have this dress! Hobbs are comfy, but they are usually too wide for me in the hips and I have them taken in. Super comfy
All, any recommendations for a low-key but somehow special Mother’s Day with a 16 month old?
DH does shift work and will be gone. I might spend part of the day with my own mother. Single mothers, what do you do?
Hello CMomHive. I’m about to join your ranks in three months (due in August.) I’m having trouble dealing with the weight gain from a psychological standpoint–I’m watching what I eat and exercising plenty, but it’s hard to see the scale go up significantly no matter what I do. My OB told me to try to reel in my weight gain rate to 0.5 lb/week and it’s just not happening (she also told me to drop my carbs to 150 g/day, which pre-pregnant me would have lost weight doing, so I’m just refusing to do that at all.) I’ve gained 1 pound per week for a total of 26 pounds thus far and started out pregnancy at 5’6″/165 (I put on a few pounds with IVF that wouldn’t come off prior to embryo transfer.)
On the one hand, I see the need to continue monitoring what I’m eating and the rationale for keeping my weight gain down, but on the other hand, I feel like pregnancy has taken away many of the things I used to enjoy (sushi, alcohol, running/hiking, etc.) and am unwilling to “diet” anymore at this point. If anyone has any pointers or advice for me on how to handle this, I would greatly appreciate it–thank you in advance!
I’m 8 months pregnant and starting to get wedgies from my current underwear. Any recs for cheap, comfortable, granny undies? I was thinking of going to Costco because I think my unglamorous, practical mom buys hers there….
Can anyone recommend a hair gel for a toddler boy? My little guy’s bangs look so cute when they are brushed to the side and I would like to see if a small bit of product will help them stay there.
Is there a way to push back on being totally inundated with tasks at work? My “team” is in a big push for a deadline two weeks out. I was told last week that I was to clear my entire calendar and only focus on this task, but the problem is my boss keeps piling other things on me at the same time. Honestly, this task alone is probably enough work for 2-3 people and I’m totally drowning. I come in every morning determined to work hard and get it done, but, for example, this morning boss has already asked me to order lunch for tomorrow, order new office supplies, and print a bunch of documents. I do them because, hey boss asked, but now half the day is gone and I haven’t even gotten to big important looming deadline related tasks. I just don’t know how else to say to boss that I can’t keep doing everything. And this just keeps happening every day. It doesn’t help that husband has been traveling and is also totally inundated at work so things at home have been stressful. Normally (prekids) I would just stay late every night and get stuff done, but I have a hard stop to get kids from daycare. I’m getting to the point where I just don’t know if I can do this job anymore and have a family.
So this morning while brushing my daughter’s hair I swear I saw a louse. That said, I have no experience with them, so this is just a guess based on the fact that she’s in daycare and some panicked googling. What do I do??? Googling it is overwhelming. Wise ladies, tell me what is the best course of action. I’m treating her no matter what. Even if what I saw was just a gnat that happened to land there.
Just because there is a travel vibe today, I will share my upcoming (crazy) flight:
LAX to ATL departing at 10:30am….solo with a lap 1.5 y/o.
Yes, I know what how awful this could be. Yes, I’m terrified.
I’m a little less worried about the 7:30pm flight home because I’m counting on her sleeping in the Tula.
God bless us, everyone.
Love the dress, btw.
Did anyone ever get what felt like a side stitch (like you’d get from running) later in pregnancy?
I’m guessing it’s just baby pressing on my internal organs now that he’s bigger/uterus is higher up in abdomen, and stretching/yoga is the only thing that will help. I just had to sit for a two hour meeting, so I’m blaming that…
Any tips on helping an 8 y.o.bedwetter learn to stay dry? My grandson lives with me & wets the bed more often than not. Pediatrician says no medical issues. This has been ongoing since he was first potty trained. His mom & I are at wits end.
Wish me luck internet friends! I’m in biglaw but have an interview with a nonprofit today. Will try not to out myself but I would love to make a move at some point and this could be the moment!
Any favorite interview tips??? I’m frantically researching the organization now, but really am just going to try to be myself and hopefully we are a good fit for each other.
When you get a pack and play at a hotel, does it have sheets? Or should I pack my own?
Another travel question – husband and I live in DC and have 2 weddings in NYC in August when our son will be 5 months old. Before having the kiddo I strongly preferred taking the train to NYC to avoid traffic, but I’m at a loss now on how we would manage to bring all of his stuff and our stuff on the train and then get from the train station to the hotel on public transit (since we wouldn’t have a car seat for a taxi). Is it ultimately easier just to drive or are there infant train travel experts out there?
I love this pick! And Hobbs is new to me – thanks Kat!
We’re doing our first weekend trip with 3-month-old baby (plane, rental car, hotel) and I’m trying to make a list of everything we need to remember to pack. What’s on your weekend packing list (or what crucial thing do you always forget)?
Thus far I have:
-clothes: extra outfits, pjs, sweater, sunhat
-feeding: formula, bottles, bottle brush
-sleeping: pack-n-play, sheets, swaddle, pacifier
-travel: snap-n-go, car seat, carrier
