BellyMoms Tess Empire Line Maternity and Nursing Top - Choose from 7 Colors

I love this shirt. I got it in navy blue because it was the only color available at the time I purchased it, which was around 3-4 months ago. Lucky for me, I love navy blue. For those considering texture, the blouse has a slightly slippery feel to it, which makes it very comfy and it conforms to your body.My only complaint is that all of the buttons popped off, one right after the other, lol! As a perfectionist, this malfunction threatened to push me over the edge, but the buttons were not functional to begin with, they were only for design, so I just shrugged it off. Otherwise, I would recommend the blouse, but preferably when it is on sale. I want to buy another one in another color for myself, but not for over $20.00.Good luck nursing! (As a general rule, buying nursing tops is WORTH IT when you are a nursing mom, especially if you are in public more often than not. They are so expensive, even on Amazon, but at least on Amazon you are more likely to find deals and discounts.)

This top fits great but I think it's just a little bit too long. If it ended a little closer to my actual belly, I don't think my new mom pudgy-ness would show as much. But since its long, it's obvious that my belly pokes out a little. If you are still a little uncomfortable with your belly after just having a baby, be aware that you may end up in shape wear if you get this top. However, I'm still giving it four stars because that's more of a personal issue and I think this top will be one of my favorites after I finish getting rid of the belly fat. I LOVE the easy nursing access though, and that's why I keep wearing this top. It's not nearly as complicated as other nursing tops. I can also pump BOTH sides when I'm in this top without worrying about the fabric pulling or being too tight. The deep red color also looks very nice. I'm very happy with this top and will love it even more when I lose my belly fat.

I'm not in love with this shirt. It definitely provides easy access for breastfeeding discreetly, which is fabulous, but it just isn't that cute on. The picture looks much better than the real thing. The material is thin and flimsy - almost see-through. The top panel (the one you pull up to feed) always looks pulled strange and stretched out too much, as if they didn't use enough fabric for the size. The bottom of the shirt flows nicely and is a long length. I think it's just the tight empire waist and the cap sleeves that make this shirt seem a little too small on top while fitting loosely on the bottom. The waistband in front kind of gaps open and makes it totally obvious that this shirt opens. The waistband goes all the way around the back, so you have this useless flap all the way around you... I'd go with Milk Nursingwear instead.

Other reviews have complained of a strong smell... I did see that complaint from other reviewers, but thought the top was cute enough to chance it. I washed it, tumbled dried it on low for a short time, removed from drier the spritzed it (with perfume) and let it hang dry... it smells fine now (and I probably could have skipped the spritzing with perfume step and it still would have been fine). I haven't had any buttons fall off, but haven't worn it to much yet. Fabric is soft. Fit is slim - I am pretty trim and have no pregnancy belly left for the most part, but the shape hugs me a lot more than what it seems to do in the photo - so if you have a lot of belly left, you might save this for later or order a size up.

I'm 8 months pregnant, and a large girl, and it fits great and looks good too. I actually ended up buying two and will probably get another. I don't know why people say it's too tight. it's stretchy material, but it's loose even on me 8 months prego. I got an xl. I was a large prepregnancy, but all of my maternity clothes have been xl. It's higher cut than it looks, which is good, I hate all the low cut nursing shirts, but I wouldn't mind it a bit higher cut. It fits my chest well, and I'm an F; I was worried it might not or might make the neck line lower to fit, but it's good. It looks like it'll make nursing in it easy and discrete; can't wait to use it for that purpose. I didn't really like the green color when I got it, but for the price, it's cute enough, so I kept it. I'd love more pastel colors.

It took me a while to figure out how to work this nursing shirt. I was originally really disappointed because my other nursing shirts you pull down to nurse and this one wouldn't pull down or unbutton to do anything (which I thought it would from the way it looked). Turns out that with this shirt you actually pull up the top to make it work. The shirt is jersy material (I didn't look at the description before purchasing very closely) and it is a little to tight for my post-baby body (I bought a L and an XL to have as I lost weight and this review is on the XL)and I was wearing medium to large shirts before being pregnant and wore size medium pregnancy shirts.

I got this top in powder blue. The color is more gray than blue, which is ok with me. I like the style - the little ruffle is very cute and feminine. I usually wear size S (4-6) and this top in S fits my chest perfectly, but is a bit tight around the hips... well, for a postpartum mama it is a little tight to be flattering. I think once I shed a few more pounds from pregnancy and get back to my normal weight and tone, this top will look great. I gave this top four stars and not five, since the point is to look good while shedding the pounds and nursing your baby and not having to wait to get your figure back in order to wear a nursing top!

Cute top. Very flattering cut and fit. I liked it so much, I ordered a second one right away. Should have waited because after a few weeks, buttons started falling off. The buttons aren't a necessity. They don't actually hold anything together, so when the top button fell off, I set it aside to sew back on later, but kept wearing the top. Usually when something like this happens, I would reinforce the other buttons with some quick sewing, but with a new baby and all that entails, I never found the time. Sadly, the top kept losing buttons, and it was relegated to the bottom of a drawer.
