Review of Penelope Nursing Top in Olive Slub & Black

IT HAS A SHELF BRA! I love that I don't have to wear a bra with this top. It's a little awkward for nursing until you figure out whether you want to go in from over the bra part or under it. Going under it (but still from the top of the shirt) hides a little more but is a bit more awkward. Going from top of bra part shows more, but holds up breast (helpful for me).
This is a nice top and you wouldn't know it's for nursing. I'll continue to use this long after nursing. It's a sort of swimsuit/jersey type of material (not a sweater), but I expected that. The long sleeves are nice for the coming cooler weather. I'm 5'3" and 165 lbs and the medium was a bit snug around the arms, but I continue to lose weight at about 1/2 a lb a week, so I'm keeping it.
I haven't washed it yet, but I saw other reviews that said it pills up after a few washes. I plan to wash it with my delicates and air dry. Hopefully that prevents pilling.
Love this top for the style and fit... It's cute and flattering! The under layer is a little awkward though- it barely covers my chest. It doesn't affect the look of the short and my guess is it needs to be that length so it can be pulled up for nursing but it's a little awkward. Recommend the top anyway though!
This top is cute, but has less shape to it than pictured. I am having it taken in on the sides to fit as seen in the picture on the website. The material is great, it washed well. For reference I ordered a medium and am currently 150 pounds post baby, 5'6, and a 36DD.

Fabric is lightweight and feels great. I have a hard time pulling the neck down far enough to access for nursing, so this ends up forcing me to lift the top from the bottom, which causes more exposure.

I love this sweater and I'm really happy with it. It is thinner than I would expect (really a light knit material, not a sweater), but I love how it looks and feels.
Cute top but runs small. I usually wear a large with a little room to spare but this was way too tight in the arms and chest. Going back to the store.
Really cute and I look forward to wearing it postpartum. I thought I could wear it while pregnant but my belly is already a bit too large.

The large fit more like a medium-and-a-half. As a regular large wearer in all different brands, I would go a size up in this shirt.

Feeding from bottom is just as easy as from the top. Nice to have an option that is loose for nursing though

Love it, very stylish...even my non-nursing mom friends want to get it..
Color and quality is great. It's kind of difficult to nurse in however.
Very cute and fun. Easy to nurse in
