Amelia Labor & Postpartum Gown in Midnight Blue

We needed to return a gown for another style that would be more comfortable for my daughter in love and after emailing, they expedited the replacement gown and made the return process so easy. Top notch company and very personable. Highly recommend this company and their product is sooo soft to touch. I also purchased a swaddling set and it is of great quality and butter soft as well.

The fabric was good quality and I loved the color. However, the snaps on the back were bulky and irritating and the waistline was too low, meaning it got stuck at the top of my belly and the bodice bunched up. There’s only a couple snaps up the breasts, so the bunching fabric led to a full display because of how loose it was. Was hoping for a middle ground on modesty and this was not it between the bodice issue and how chunky and far apart all the snaps were.

First, what I loved about this: the fabric was an incredible quality, and the color was gorgeous. For these two things along I wish I could have kept this, but unfortunately, the rest of the dress was less positive, and ultimately, I made the decision to return it. A final pro is the ties for the skirt really are well designed, there are two ties that keep it well closed when not needed for access to the belly/baby.
I bought this dress looking for a middle ground between the regular dresses (Lila and Juliet) with the open backs and the fully modest dress (Nadia), since I didn't want the full length of the Nadia. If I had time (shipping is pretty slow and my due date as too close) I would have switched to a Nadia and had it hemmed to the length I was looking for.
One of the main concerns with modesty in this style was that the snap buttons on the front are not high enough. There is really only one beyond the waistband, making it less modest than the pictures depict. Along with that, the waitband itself was oddly positioned for being a labor gown. I am 5'2" and bought the petite size, but the waistband still was meant to sit lower than possible with my current pregnancy belly in the way. Seems like a major issue for a labor gown, to be honest. This caused all the fabric on top to bunch up and contributed to the issues with the number of snaps on the front.
My other major complaint was the snaps in the back and down the sleeves. The snaps were too far apart and itchy on the skin, which was uncomfortable to wear. This ultimately was the major reason I decided to return, since I knew it would be irritating to wear during labor and end up detracting rather than enhancing the experience.

Loved it! Wore this for my c-section sooo much comfortable than those hospital gowns. Got so many compliments from nurses and staff, If you’re thinking about buying it do it! I thought I was bigger so I sized up wish I would’ve sized down but that’s on me. Other than that I loved it!!!

Really happy I ordered this. I wish it was a smidge bigger around the belly, but it should do nicely.
Also haven’t washed it yet, but hoping it will stay nice and not shrink.
