You know that feeling when you want to look like a freakin' rock star when you're pregnant and you can't find even one single rock star-appropriate maternity top? I got you.

Step one, as always, the original garment. You will need a men's (probably) T that is sufficiently awesome and fits comfortably around your belly.
Cut the shirt open at the seams. You'll want to shape the front sort of like and A-line skirt, so that the shirt fits well over your bust but take as little as possible away while still getting a cute, feminine shape. You'll need all that fabric for the expanding belly. Take most of the fabric from the back of the shirt. And narrow the sleeves.
Pin and sew! I usually baste (long stitches that can be pulled out) a seam with generous leeway, then try the shirt on. You can always make it smaller, it's a lot harder to make it bigger.
Once it fits you have been most successful. Nicely done! You look awesome!
