I never thought maternity tights were a necessity until I pulled on a pair of non-maternity tights and was greeted with the loud and jarring sound of ripping material and left with a big gaping hole in said tights (may they rest in peace). These held it together for my super professional photo shoot above but I won't trust them beyond that. Yes, I'm only 21 weeks along and no, it's definitely not twins.

Thankfully, this Brass Clothing shirt dress has a nice, generous drawstring situation that has been very kind to the growing (and growing and growing) bump and while I'll probably outgrow it in five minutes ... it will be the first thing I grab when I start the odyssey that is: postpartum + nursing friendly dressing. Can I get a somber, "amen"? Thank you. 

It's fitting that today is Galentine's Day (tell me you are aware of the holiday! it's thee best!) because Brass was founded by two gals (couldn't resist) by the names of Katie and Jay who were tired of the crazy price tags on designer clothing but weren't too fond of the cheaper and poorly made alternatives either. By working directly with the manufacturers, they are able to offer designer quality and beautifully cut clothing at a much more affordable price. Read their fascinating story here!

After perusing their website I had to play favorites with the Shirt Dress but it's a very close tie for second with the gorgeous yet casual Tank Maxi and the super fun Fit and Flare (all THREE have pockets, genius!). I love their first collection so much and am genuinely looking forward to see what Katie and Jay cook up for their upcoming collections because girls' got talent.

Brass is giving a dress away (winner's choice!!) to one of you fine readers today ... ladies celebrating ladies and all of that ballet. Yay. You know the way the Rafflecopter works by now, I hope and pray.

May the winning force be with you.
