The concept behind this shawl is wonderful. Unfortunately, I found that it didn't live up to it's premise of modest nursing coverage. It did not stay in place well, and needed to be constantly tugged back in to position to keep my cleavage covered. Once I managed that, my sides and back would be exposed. I was uncomfortable using it even at home around our older children - I certainly wouldn't take it out in public. I finally found what I needed with a well constructed nursing tank.Nursing Tank By Undercover Mama (Medium, Dark Brown)
