I'm super excited to wear this to the hospital as my maternity gown. I'm not a fan of dresses that pose wardrobe malfunction risks when one sits down, and don't want to have to worry about this while walking around in the halls of the hospital at which I'll be giving birth. Obviously, though, there is ample material waist down for the pushing phase and delivery. The patterns are attractive. Friends I know who've worn these have gotten lots of compliments on their Facebook birth photos.
