Tara Tank Nursing Dress

The practically of Catherine's Choice meets the classic summer style of Serendipity Studio's Tara Tank dress. One of our previous customers requested this combination and we thought it would be great to show all of our customers this great option. Custom Tara Tank dresses are available for $72, $82 (maternity), $92 (nursing), and $98 (maternity and nursing).







 Catherine's Choice Dress

Maternity and Nursing dress with  "Easy Empire elegance makes this style wearable throughout all stages of motherhood—pregnancy, breast-feeding and beyond. The high waistline accommodates a mother’s changing figure, while an adjustable elasticized drawstring affords custom fit, tying in front. Side access nursing plackets are concealed beneath the full bodice overlay, eliminating the gaping issue during pregnancy. "
This dress style can be made without nursing access and with a narrower skirt for seasons outside of pregnancy. For more information on this dress style, please see the Catherine's Choice pattern page

Custom Catherine's Choice dresses are available for $92.
