I'm 7 months along and finally had to give up wearing my regular tops because there just was no more give in any of them. I found a couple of maternity tops in the stores but they all were made of rougher material and shared the unfortunate tent style that most pregnant women don't really need more of since we already feel like land-waddling whales. When this top arrived, I was pleasantly surprised by how soft it felt. It wears well both in terms of roominess and style. It has a flattering shape even with my belly sticking out. I've gotten many compliments and some from women who weren't even pregnant who then went out and bought the top themselves, saying it was good for their hips. Definitely a must buy if you're pregnant or pear shaped.
