Customer Reviews
I'm 5'3" about 130 lbs, one month post-partum. I don't know my bra size at the moment, but large for sure. I bought a small at first and returned it for a medium. The small was a little too snug in the chest. The medium is still snug, but wearable. The length is perfect, and it feels dressy without being fussy. I could wear it to a work event if needed this summer, or out on a date night. I'd be comfortable, able to nurse, but feel remotely like my old self.

The jersey material is very clingy. I ordered for a wedding and the material made the dress look too casual. It's a nice dress for summery months, bumming around,or maybe a very casual event. The nursing opening is fantastic though. The under bust line flips right up to expose both breasts, which is super convenient for double pumping. Also have the option of just pulling one side down at a time if you are nursing baby and want to stay more covered.

I really wanted to love this dress...it just wasn't flattering on my post partum body. It made my chest look overly large and my entire midsection look frumpy. I think it was due to all of the fabric and how it cris-crossed up top. Overall the length and fit was good. I ordered a large. 11 weeks post partum, nursing (36D), 5'4", 155 lbs.

I bought this expecting it to fit well while nursing, and with a hope that it might fit now. It is too short at the moment, but I expect will be perfect during the awkward "I look 5 months pregnant" phase. Very soft and stretchy. Material is a little on the thin side. Nursing panel isn't too obvious. Good coverage without being frumpy.

Beautiful dress in a nice color and fabric. I was hoping to wear this to my sister's wedding. I ended up returning this though because it was too small in the bust. This was disappointing because I expected a nursing dress to be able to accomodate a larger chest. I'm a "D" cup right now and could not fit into the size "L". Oh well.

I ordered this dress for a wedding I'm in. It looks just as it did online. Though I'm 5'5" and normally a size small, I ordered a medium based on my current chest measurements. It fits great and has much better coverage in bust than most V neck clothes. Where the material is gathered almost seems droopy, but it may just be me.

I'm 5'5" and currently 160 lb at 7 wk postpartum, with a small bust at baseline that is much, much bigger currently. I liked the wraparound/V neckline on this dress, but the fabric was a little too clingy on my postpartum belly (in size L) for me to feel good in it.

This is a great dress as it is not so obviously a nursing dress! It fits well, isn't too long and isn't frumpy the way a lot of nursing dresses are, as I'm learning. I'm 5'2" and am currently 115 lbs post pregnancy, and the small fits well.
