Purpless Maternity
2in1 Pregnancy and Nursing Round Neck Long Sleeve Top
7.6/10 overall£33.99
An affordable everyday nursing top with a double-layer front for discreet feeding access.
The verdict
This Mamalicious top is an affordable everyday nursing top with a double-layer front for discreet feeding access, cut with extra room for the bump in soft stretch jersey. Best as a wardrobe staple worth buying in multiples given the low price; basic styling and fabric quality reflect the budget positioning.
This is the everyday-basics end of the maternity wardrobe: a simple long-sleeve top with a double-layer front (an inner layer that lifts, an outer layer that drops down) so you can nurse without exposing your midriff — the same mechanism as pricier nursing tops, at a fraction of the cost. It's cut with extra room through the body and a soft, stretch jersey to accommodate the bump without needing a maternity-specific fit through the shoulders and arms.
Where Seraphine's wrap dress is the one "good" piece worth spending more on, tops like this are the ones worth buying several of — they're what actually gets worn most days, and the low price makes buying multiples in different colours a sensible call rather than a luxury.

Frequently asked questions
How does the nursing access work on this top?+
It has a double-layer front — an inner layer that lifts, an outer layer that drops down — so you can nurse without exposing your midriff, the same mechanism as pricier nursing tops at a fraction of the cost, cut with extra room through the body to accommodate the bump too.
Is it worth buying more than one Mamalicious top?+
Yes — it's genuinely affordable, and the low price makes buying multiples in different colours a sensible call rather than a luxury, since it's the kind of top that actually gets worn most days rather than saved for occasions like the pricier Seraphine dress.
How does it compare to the Seraphine wrap dress?+
The Seraphine dress is the one "good" piece worth spending more on for occasions, while tops like this are the everyday basics worth buying several of — they're what actually gets worn most days, with the low price making multiples a sensible option.
Is the fabric good quality?+
It's soft and stretch-comfortable, cut with extra room to accommodate the bump, but the fabric quality is what you'd expect at this price point over long-term wear, and the size range is more limited at the upper end compared to specialist maternity brands.
