I am seriously toying with the idea of getting a vintage, swing-style astrakhan coat for my pregnant sister this winter. (Fuzzy furs are just so overdone blah blah blah.) She is likely to get huge (if past performance is an indicator of future prospects), but the maternity clothes of hers that I've seen are just so bad I am dying to get her something kicky to wear, and a swing coat (I'm aiming for a bust measurement of 48 waist 54 or so) should give her plenty of room. Any opinions (other than from the vegans)? She does live somewhere cold enough to justify (arguably) fur. I am hoping she will be able to wear it without looking like the love child of a grizzly bear and Jabba the Hut. I was considering finding her a big leopard print coat instead, but it may be too extreme (and she may not get it).

I don't know much about shopping for the pregnant or morbidly obese, but isn't buying a huge fur for a chick who's going to drop the weight soon kinda silly? I like to waste money as much as the next guy, but that seems a bit wasteful. Won't it be just a huge fur mumu after she pops out the kid? 48 waist is pretty damn big. John Goodman big.
