This is an index check-patterned dress♡ I personally highly recommend this for pregnant women who need to dress in business casual! I wore it until about 8 months into my pregnancy, before going on maternity leave. Since I wore it during my pregnancy, I removed the elastic from the waist myself. (Please refer to photo 7. I've marked it as having some minor damage or stains due to this.) It wasn't originally maternity wear, but the flowy design of the top part was great for hiding my belly! The pockets on both sides were also a big help. It was perfect for the office with a cardigan. There are no noticeable stains.
