Purchased new and worn during maternity and breastfeeding. The front zipper makes nursing easy. The fabric stretches well, so it was comfortable to wear even as my belly grew. I think it's thick enough to wear in all seasons except mid-winter. There are pockets on both sides. While there are no noticeable scratches or stains, it was only used for a period of time. Please refrain from purchasing if you are overly concerned about the condition. LEPSIM LEPSIM Maternity Nursing wear Dress
