"I decided to go for a more vintage inspired silhouette, and I think the classic style lets the fabric speak for itself. I added a waist tie to flatter my growing tum, but I love that I'll also have the option to wear it without for years to come."

She wrote, in part: "Before going on the show, I never put much thought into what it would be like to be judged by so many people who don't know me and as a sensitive person, it's definitely been harder than I expected.
"That's why I'm so grateful for this little positive corner of the internet that we've created. A place where I can completely be myself, be lifted up and lift others up in return. I can't wait to see where this journey takes me, but if I know one thing for sure … it's that there will be a whole lot more gingham and puff sleeves along the way."
