I bought this so I would stop feeling so frumpy in my other maternity clothes. As soon as it arrived I put it on and immediatly knew I had made the right chose by ordering it. my husband who never notices when I get new clothes even commented on it. the shirt part is some and breathable. The shruge fits great and not to heavy. I do have to say the beads along the outside do sometimes rub on your arms when you walk. Other than that this is a great shirt set.. I recommend it to all who want to stop feeling frumpy when they are preggers.
