Japanese Weekend {Giveaway Has Ended}

I first had the opportunity to try the apparel from Japanese Weekend when I was pregnant with our newest little guy and I was very happy with the quality and the fit. I also liked how several different online sites actually carried the products, making it easier to find! Since having the baby I've still been wearing my maternity/nursing shirts I received, the pajamas and now I've had the chance to work with Japanese Weekend themselves and try out other actual nursing products from their line.

Through my pregnancy and nursing now for a few months I've been able to try different types of things that seem to work better. I really love the pants and shirts pajamas for maternity, the fit was great and very comfortable. They work good for nursing, but you do have to nurse by exposing your entire breast, no problems for night times though as long as you do not leave the material folded back for an extended period of time. The maternity nightgown and robe is so feminine, lovely and soft. I love to wear this, it's easy to nurse in, but just like the above exposes you fully. I also had the opportunity to try a few of the past season tops, all of which can be used for maternity and then again for after baby while nursing (and if you don't nurse, you can't even tell they're a nursing top). Many had the ruched sides, which I think are very flattering during pregnancy and help slim you when still having a pouch belly after wards or give you a more of flattering look when trying to get back to pre-pregnancy size. With these particular shirts you have to pull down the neck and there is an underlying material that is easily pulled to the side for nursing, you would most likely need a blanket or nursing cover to nurse discreetly when out in public with these tops.

Japanese Weekend carries several different maternity and nursing items. I know for many it's important to shop Earth Friendly and they also carry items for you. Also be sure to browse the Clearance and Sale section of the site if you are looking for a deal, you never know what you'll find. I'm loving the Maternity/Nursing Tunic. I love tunics and they are impossible to nurse in easily if not made for nursing.

I have to say I love the maternity nursing pajama with 3/4 sleeves best. Love the look of these because I could sleep in them at night and lounge in them during the day and still be able to answer the door if someone stopped by. LOL. I'm going to be honest, if we stay in during the day I want to be in something comfortable and easy to nurse in. This seems to fit the bill. I could probably use a dress to wear to church and be able to nurse in more, but I'd get much more use out of the pj's.

I like the maternity dress with satin trim because it is a classic design that is flattering for a baby belly but I can also see wearing this after as well.
