Forgot to tell you: it is also really easy to convert mock twinsets into nursing clothes. You just cut a gentle crescent-shape into the underneath layer, back in the armpit region, from where it attaches to the sleeve, curving toward your breast, then back down to the side seam somewhere above your waist (depends on how big-busted you are, and how loose the shirt is--you can always start small, try it on, and then cut out more). Just serge or zig-zag the raw edge to keep it from fraying. If you are really narrow-busted (close-set), you can cut vertical nursing slits in the underlayer, placed to the outside of your breasts, not directly over your nipples. Start just above your nipple-height to about 6" below, and serge or zig-zag the edges. This also works on dresses with a jacket or sweater over, though you can't wear it without the jacket! ;o)
Same concept as these shirts, but you can find much cheaper mock twinsets elsewhere and make your own!

This works best on t-shirt type knits or velour, etc., rather than actual sweater knits. Once you cut those, they just want to unravel.
HTH!
