Buying clothes after having a baby is an unmitigated nightmare. It doesn't matter if mom is still swollen or she "bounced back." Shopping post baby leaves a lot of new moms frustrated as they try to navigate their new body. Finding a shirt that "covers" that pooch versus accentuating it is pretty tricky.
But apparently this shirt, reviewed highly by over 1,000 people, is being hailed as the ultimate postpartum shirt.
This loose, waffle fabric shirt comes in an array of colors and is available with long sleeves as well. Sizes range from S to XX Large. The idea is that it fits like a slouchy, over-sized shirt, but those who desire a more fitted look can simply size down.

Reviewer Margaret, who says she is 5'5" and 170 pounds after being two months postpartum, says the shirt is everything she wanted and more.
"I was looking for some tops that were loose to hide the stomach pooch and were easy to nurse in. This top is just that. It is so comfortable and soft and the price is great. I ended up buying more than one color because I love it so much," she wrote.
For reference, she is in a size large with this fit.
For Jordan Mooring, three months after having her little one, it was the perfect solution to her postpartum fashion woes.
"This shirt is perfect for me right now. Covers up without looking like a sack," she wrote.
Come from a postpartum place myself (OK, OK. I am a year PP, but whatever) and let me just say, finding shirts that do that is like finding a needle in a haystack.
Of course, the top is also perfect for anyone who is into that messy-but-put-together look.
Long sleeve or short, at only $19 with a pretty decent size range, this is truly a gem of an Amazon find.
