English term or phrase: BCBG
This is from Mimi Turner. The more you unzip it, the more it expands so you can fit more and more stuff in it. This is more BCBG, but the thing about this, it’s just a simple brown halter, but with the rouching, it will make anyone look good and if you're feeling uncomfortable about your stomach after having had a baby, it’ll hide anything that you would feel about.

BCBG
Explanation:
É uma marca, portanto não traduz, veja explicação detalhada:
BCBG Max Azria
The Label
In the last sixteen years, Max Azria has added fifteen brands—including BCBGirls, To The Max, and Hervé Léger, which he acquired in 1999—to his BCBG empire (named by his wife, Lubova, for the French phrase bon chic, bon genre—Parisian slang for “good style, good attitude"). And just this year he showed his first collection under his name alone. Although the “exclusive” new Max Azria Collection is carried in only a small fraction of his 340 worldwide boutiques, its undone linens, ruffled faille, and loosey-goosey shirt dresses received a tepid reception compared to the more familiar (and playful) embroidered linen frocks and slinky silk dresses in the spring 2007 BCBG line.

Explanation:
BCBG é uma abreviação do francês Bon Chic Bon Genre que significa chic e conservador. Não há uma expressão equivalente em Português, talvez seja melhor manter a abreviação. Além disso, pode ainda ser uma referência à marca.

Chique em vez de chic - interferência do francês - desculpem!
