Fresh air, some sunshine, a little warmth and breastfeeding at the park in front of strangers… Well, the first parts are fun. Clothes with easy access for nursing moms can be hard to come by. But fear not, you don’t have to turn in your style card when you have a new baby. Here’s a few spring styles available at Hip to be Round for spring 2015 that we can’t wait to get our hands on.
Basket Weave Nursing Maxi
Believe it or not this nursing/maternity maxi dress has a hidden nursing panel right behind the top basket weave. Works great for maternity and falls completely flat for a no-way-that’s-maternity look postpartum.
Zahra Applique Dress
Pleats and draped fabric hide easy nursing access just below the detailed neckline. Bonus: you can wear this one pregnant too!
Must Have Maxi Dress
Keep it simple with this solid maxi dress, seam lifts for easy nursing access.
Ikat Nursing Dress
This dress leaves a little room for that post-belly-belly to create a flattering fit, nursing access is hidden just behind the panel.
Gemma Nursing Dress
Cute print: check. Spring colors: check. Nursing access: check.
Enja Cap Sleeve Dress
Perfect dress for work which is great, because the word “pumps” has taken a whole new meaning.
Britney Bubble Top
Dresses not your style? We’re loving the watercolor print. Front pleating covers nursing panel and provides a flattering not-too-snug fit.
Express Nursing Tank
Can’t go wrong with a nautical stripe. This nursing tank is super cute on it’s own or paired with a light cardigan for spring.
Shop all the new arrivals and try them on in person.
