First, the dress makes me feel great. The fabric is lovely and the fit is amazing. Where am less than thrilled is that the listing makes it sound like it might be nursing friendly, because that it what I think of when something says it is friendly post partum. I don't want to return this dress, but cannot justify keeping it when I know that I will not really be able to wear it for the next two years after my son is born without having to take it off to nurse. That is just not realistic for my life right now. I was hoping that because the top was smocked it would pull down, and it does not. Again, it is gorgeous. I want to keep it, but not sure it is a good financial move because of the cost and lack of functionality.
