Some photos may appear gray due to lighting, but the actual color is solid black, like the first photo. I only used this during the winter months of my pregnancy, when going out. The material tends to pill easily. It's fleece-lined and doesn't have a nursing opening. I'm 157cm tall, and the length covers about half of my knees. It's a fairly loose fit, and I could wear it almost until my due date. Please note that belly size varies from person to person, so consider that a rough guide. Please only purchase if you understand that this is a used item.
