Postpartum dressing has honestly been one of the hardest parts of motherhood for me as a 1st time mama. After months of ordering clothes that were either too tight, awkwardly oversized, or just completely unflattering, I started dreading getting dressed. I kept seeing Nursing Queen on Instagram for weeks but was scared to waste money on another disappointment.
I finally took a chance on this dress for church, and I am so thankful I did.
For the first time in a long time, I felt comfortable, confident, and beautiful in my postpartum body. I received so many compliments, and nursing my 3-month-old was quick and effortless. The zipper glides so smoothly, the material feels high quality (not cheap or flimsy), and the dress is lightweight, breathable, and not see-through.
What I love most is how flattering it is without clinging in the wrong places. It’s loose where you want it to be and truly helps hide the postpartum bumps and lumps while still making you feel feminine and put together. You can easily dress it up or down.
The only reason I’m not giving it 5 stars is because, personally for my body shape, I didn’t love how the bow looked tied in the front. I wish it could more confidently be styled tied in the front or back depending on preference. I also wish the V-neck was just slightly higher to minimize cleavage a bit more. Small details, but worth mentioning.
Overall, if you’re a postpartum mama struggling to feel good in clothes again, this is your sign.
For reference: I’m 5’2”, 168 lbs, and a 36C.
