How about a swingy a-line cashmere sumthin' with sweet buttons up the back? Yes, of COURSE it's nursing-friendly & softer than your old pajamas. Take one thrifted cashmere crewneck & make yourself one top richer. A little more love for those of us advocating basic-needs-generation. This is goooood.
A little secret: Turning those sweater sleeves upside down as side-plackets makes a natural armhole! Isn't that so clever?
Another secret: Using those front-buttons on the back makes for very little sewing.
Okay, since you're so into it: Stitch those little moth-holes closed, cut out a couple of scraps from left over seams, & tie them into a couple of knots. Attach onto the "repaired" holes to hide them. Whallah! Very Anthropologie-like bows.
You look hot, you used no resources, it cost $4 & you're comfy as can be. I know I want to be your friend...
So cool...I don't know, I'm not an expert like u :) but I could give it a try, but I bet I'm going to have some questions! :)

I'm glad to hear your family is on the mend.
That's a sweet sweater. I have never been successful in finding cashmere in the thrift stores. It's always, always acrylic. (YUCK!) Wools sweaters are hard to come by, too.
