Nursing Clothes - What's Working (or not) for you?

[bookninja]

Thought I'd start a place where we can post where we are finding clothes that are working for us while nursing or pumping!
I'm searching for plus size nursing tops that I can wear to work... And not finding much that aren't tank tops. I need a 1x... It sort of boggles my mind how hard plus size is to find. I could probably wear an XL... But at the moment I like things loose, because I don't know about all of you, but I still have a lot of tummy going on.
I have pretty much all (there are several colors) of these tanks, which I wear with a sweater.

I have this in black... But apparently it isn't available in plus sizes any more...

Other than those (all from Kohls, I think, or Destination Maternity), I don't have much... Any suggestions?

I also need loose loose loose. To be honest, when I'm at home, I just get myself in a t-shirt and lift up. When at work, I find shirts that are loose, but also shirts that I don't have to wear cami's underneath, because otherwise that just becomes a PITA. I really don't have much in terms of actual nursing tops (except for a few nursing tanks but it's becoming too cold for those anyways), so I generally find things that I can easily pull up or down.

I layer a cami underneath a top. I have a few nursing camis and one nursing too but they're honestly so pricey that I can't see spending the $$ on them when there are other solutions.

Honestly, I'm so used to just taking off my shirt or dress at work. I like wearing my "normal clothes".

I hate wearing a tank top under a shirt, so I usually do a belly band under a shirt if I'm worried about it. Usually I just bare the tummy a little, though.

I just wear a cami under all of my shirts and do the 2 shirt method. At work for pumping, I just take my shirt off and call it a day.

For work, I just wear normal clothes and take them off when I pump. (In my office I'm topless, in the car I throw a nursing cover over).

But for weekends when I'm actually going to be nursing, I have some favorites:
*ANYTHING by LOVE Milk
My hands-down favorite nursing clothes company.  They're Swedish, but I think they're trying to branch out to the US because they've been on zulily recently.  I love love love them.  The clothes are so soft, so flattering, and don't seem "nursing" at all.  I'm trying to get them to let me do a giveaway of some pieces, so I'll keep you updated.

*Nursing tanks by Glamourmom and BUN maternity. (These are frequently on zulily or Babysteals)

* T-shirt over nursing tanks

* Wrap (or faux-wrap) dresses

I was having a hard time finding dresses, but I found these at Target that come in different patterns and plus sizes as well. The buttons go far enough down that you can just unbutton from the top for easy access. (I was really tired of stretchy dresses and V-necks, so I was pretty pumped to find these.)

He he he... Am I the only one who found humor in this?! Excellent word choice given the thread...

I need to branch out from my Target nursing tanks I think. Lived in them all summer and now just adding a zip-up sweatshirt to the mix. I'd love to do my old clothes but have chest and arm size issues.

I am a big fan of H&M's nursing tanks. The most affordable and nice I have found, they are holding up great and I wear them almost daily now. I am also a fan of layering with the cami, but they have a couple nursing shirts that are not camis too.

I don't go to work, but out in public I've liked wearing shirts with wide necks so I can just pop a boob out the top of my shirt.

I really like how the love milk ones don't look like nursing clothes. Some are so obvious looking and not cute.
