I’m 5’2, and currently 6 months pregnant and 133 lb (was 117 lbs pre-pregnancy) with a large bust. I ordered this because I wanted a simple, long, cotton t-shirt dress to wear as a nightgown during pregnancy, and around the house postpartum. While most maternity PJs are overpriced, this is cheap enough that I won’t be heartbroken if it gets covered in blood or baby fluids. (Comparable all maternity nightgowns seem to cost $40 or more.) And maternity PJs all seem to be overdesigned, with lace and prints that make them look like lingerie, and straps/extra layers/buttons for breastfeeding access, and seams everywhere highlighting your curves; this dress is simple enough in style that I won’t mind answering the door or running out to the mailbox in it, and has no embellishments or seams on the front to irritate my sensitive skin. I normally wear an extra-small, small or medium pre-pregnancy. I looked at the bust measurement on the size chart, and decided to order both a medium and large to try on. Both worked, but I kept the large, to make sure there will be enough room for my third-trimester belly and bust after machine-drying. (I do think it has shrunk a bit in the dryer.) So I would say, for maternity, plan to size up 1-2 sizes - but definitely check the size chart for the bust measurement when deciding. The fabric is thick and feels like high quality, and has a nice-looking slub texture to it, without being see-through or looking worn-out. The dress is VERY comfortable, and after washing and machine-drying it a few times, it’s actually even flattering enough that I wouldn’t be embarrassed to wear it out of the house. The only issue is that because I am petite, the armholes are too big - they don’t look that bad, but it would be even more comfortable if they fit properly. I doubt this would be an issue on average-height and tall people. Otherwise, it’s much nicer than I expected for the price. I am considering ordering another one because - since I’m sheltering in place due to the coronavirus pandemic and don’t need to get dressed for work every day - I’m getting a lot more use out of it during the daytime than I had expected to, and it’s still significantly cheaper than any cotton maternity nightgown or t-shirt dress I can find online. I might check it out in a small or medium again post-pregnancy, too, as it’s modest enough to wear around the house in front of kids, but still very comfortable to sleep in.
