I really enjoyed being pregnant. The whole experience, although not always easy, was exciting and and sort of magic. Seeing my body change and imagining the little being in my belly was surreal. What was also surreal was how quickly my body changed. I think I wasn’t quite ready for it and even less ready for the sad selection of maternity and nursing clothing options available.  It was difficult to find cute outfits that complimented my shape and my personality, not hide it under shapeless clothes.

Natalia, the owner of MommyLicious Maternity, was in the same position when she was pregnant with her second child. She decided that the solution was quite simply to create her own line of maternity and nursing clothing. MommyLicious Maternity now offers everything for expecting moms and new moms, from tops and bottoms, to dresses, sleepwear and active wear, including bathing suits. She also carries a great selection of  plus size clothing.

I wanted to show you only a few options but… well, I couldn’t choose just a few. Click on the image if you want to see it larger.

I received a beautiful button down t-shirt. It’s a deep charcoal color which fits especially well with denim. It has a hoodie which I love (don’t ask why, I just love hoodies!) and a kangaroo pocket. The fabric is a cotton and polyester blend and there is a bit of a stretch to it. It’s machine washable but it’s recommended to hang it to dry. I washed it a couple times following the instructions and it didn’t notice any shrinkage or any other damage.

I like that it’s a nice length and covers all the way down to my hips. This means that I can safely bend down or raise my arms without worrying about showing any skin. Speaking of skin, the one disadvantage that I found was the opening at the front. I have a short torso and what you’d call a generous chest (nursing will do that to you!) so the opening was stretched a little. It showed quite a bit of cleavage, too much for my taste. I easily fixed it by doing a quick seam along the lower part of the opening. Ta da! The opening is still big enough for me to nurse my little one so now this t-shirt is my favorite nursing top! It also has the advantage of not looking like a typical nursing top so I can continue to wear it even after I’m done nursing.
