BOBA: Baby On Board Apparel {Review}
“BOBA exists to inspire comfort and functionality to mommies and mommies to be.”
The phrase above was the very first thing I noticed when I went to the BOBA website. Comfort is not necessarily a term one associates with pregnancy. But, BOBA wants to change that by giving moms and moms to be comfortable clothes that function well and look fantastic.
Recently, I was sent the Juliet Nursing Top to review. In order to get an honest and accurate review, I was required to wear – and wash – the shirt a minimum of 3 times. It turns out, I love the shirt so much that I wore – and washed – it way more than 3 times. I was a little nervous about the size I had selected, since I went with an XL, and I seem to keep losing weight this pregnancy. However, the shirt fits perfectly, so apparently I’m not losing any weight in my chest or belly. 
It’s long enough that it totally covers the maternity jean stretchy material, which I love. (One of my biggest pet peeves is when my maternity shirts are too short, and you can see the stretchy waist band or – gasp – my belly hanging out of the bottom of the shirt. This shirt is the perfect length, and that’s one of the reasons why I love it so much! And, yes, I know it’s a nursing top. That’s what I love most about it. Not only does it fit me really well now, but I have a feeling I’ll be wearing it for some time to come after Baby Gage is born. I love an item that goes above and beyond.
The fabric is so soft and so comfortable. You definitely cannot call it “just” a t-shirt. It’s so much more than that! The ruffles and layers just add so much to it! The shirt is really comfortable, goes with everything, and I love wearing it. I can dress it down by throwing a zip-up hoodie over it, or I can dress it up by putting on a nice black sweater and pretty jewelry.
I’ve washed the shirt dozens of times, and I’ve got to tell you – I am totally impressed. There’s no pilling of the fabric, it hasn’t shrunk or stretched out, and it still looks like it did the first time I pulled it out to wear it. Now, I will tell you that I have not dried it in the dryer. The tag on the shirt recommends not to. (It’s their way of reducing their – and our – carbon footprint.) Just wash it on cold, and hang to dry. It doesn’t take long to dry at all, and it looks great once it is dry.
Because I love the shirt so much, I wanted to check out what else BOBA had to offer. Oh.my.gosh. I think I’m in love! My first stop was their Sale selection. Check out the super-adorable “Ultrasound Shirt” that I found. What a super cute way to announce what you’re having. And it would make such a special keepsake after baby was born, too. You could totally turn it into a pillow or a framed piece of artwork down the road. Plus, at $24, it’s a steal!
After drooling over the ultrasound shirt for quite some time, I headed off to look at their jacket selection. I *love* jackets – hoodies, sweaters, coats, you name it, I’ve got dozens of them. While BOBA only offers 3 different styles, they are 3 of the cutest maternity styles I have ever seen. I love the ruffled pockets and clean lines of the Molly Blazer. The Amelia Coat is beyond gorgeous. Plus, it would look fabulous even after pregnancy. The shirt I received as a review would look simply fabulous with it as well!
Now that I have tried out BOBA maternity clothes for myself, and have taken a look at their website, I’ve got to say that I am definitely impressed. I would highly recommend their entire line of clothes to any mom to be or new mommy. Super cute, stylish, and oh-so-comfortable, they’re sure to please even the pickiest mom.

Oh my, that ultrasound t-shirt is ADORABLE! If I was still pregnant I would be all over that.
I think it’s great that they have nursing clothing, too! Thanks for letting me know about this store, I love to shop online for my specialty clothing!
