We all saw the pictures of Kate Middleton looking pre-pregnancy perfect not long after having Prince George, but we'll never really know what's happening underneath those Alexander McQueen dresses. Which is why we are mesmerized by boudoir photographer Ashlee Wells Jackson's 4th Trimester Bodies Project.
