This is a body-safe and LGBTQIAP+-affirming place for you…

People will die because of this — especially people who are Black, Brown, fat, disabled, trans, non-binary and/or in other marginalized groups. Not just due to medical complications and makeshift abortions, but due to the horrifying rates of domestic violence and murder to which pregnant…

I got these via Zulily, which is a daily deals site here in the U.S. All three dresses actually worked out pretty well, though they’re all very thin. This is the thickest-looking of the three.
