This is exactly the type of top I loved when pregnant or nursing — it’s functional, it’s a little bit interesting, and (yaaay!) it’s available in black. For someone who usually wears dark colors, the pastel hues that dominate the maternity/nursing clothing market can be… daunting. This top is available at Nordstrom in charcoal gray (pictured…
Hooray, it’s nice to see everyone’s favorite nursing/pumping/general-blouse-love shirt back in stock, and in a ton of new prints and colors. I like this black-and-white scattered dot pattern (all the better for hiding random kid-related stains), and the price: it’s $58, available in sizes XS-XL. Pleione Sleeveless Faux Wrap Blouse Here’s a plus-size option. (L-3)
This $70 wrap dress is not only maternity-friendly, but nursing-friendly as well. Every season it comes out in new prints and colors and wins rave reviews. I think this bluesy-gray print is lovely, and for $70, it’s hard to go wrong. Everly Gray ‘Kathy’ Maternity/Nursing Wrap Dress Here’s a plus-size option. If case you haven’t checked…

It’s exactly the kind of thing I particularly loved while nursing, because it was easy on/off, had no hard zippers or buttons to brush up against baby, and, hello, machine washable, wrinkle-resistant, and temperature-regulating. It’s $180, which is a bit pricey, I’ll grant…
