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.
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.
