A multipurpose nursing and pumping garment provides a nursing woman with a convenient way to both nurse and breast pump milk. The garment includes a first covering and a second covering arranged to form a surplice neckline. The length of a neckline edge of each covering provides freedom to move the first neckline edge from a covered position in which a wearer wears the first covering over a breast to a nursing position in which the wearer wears the first covering underneath the breast. Each covering is further provided with an aperture through which a breast shield may be inserted to pump milk. In some arrangements, each covering includes a lateral piece having a lateral edge and a medial piece having a medial edge. Each lateral edge and medial edge has bound and unbound portions. The aperture for each covering is created between each lateral edge and each medial edge.
