Beige. Beige. Gray. White. Black. Beige again. Navy.
Are these colors sounding familiar. Yeah, those are your oh-so-fun choices of undergarment colors if you choose to breastfeed. (Oh yeah, this is another one of those posts that guys are not supposed to read. Just come back tomorrow, all righty then?)
What were fashion designers thinking!? Did they not eat their Wheaties that morning?
Apparently someone at Bravado Designs had a clue when they designed the Sublime Nursing Bra! Because it comes in this lovely Black Cherry color!! I mean, come on, nothing makes you feel more Mom-fabulous than a pretty bra, right? (they had the decency to name their cream and beige “French Vanilla and Chai” for some elegance!).
I was first struck by the gorgeous color of this bra… it’s so different! But then I became enamored by the quality. The lace detailing is beautiful, the fabric soft. And stretchy – so you can wear it through various phases of nursing. So comfortable I could totally see wearing this bra even when I’m done nursing (which will be… when, exactly?). The nursing clips are the sturdiest I have ever seen, and easily open and close. And the sizing runs up to a J/K cup.
And I am super picky. I tried no less than EIGHT (possibly more, I may have repressed those memories) different styles and brands of nursing bras before I found anything that worked for me! Maybe you think you’d never spend $50 on one bra, but let me tell you, after spending over $100 on several bras that all got ditched or pitched, I would happily spend $50 on one that works – like this one!
Bravado rated this bra to be good for public breastfeeding, pumping-at-work, maternity, early breastfeeding and extended breastfeeding and… DATE NIGHT!
My answer is D: all of the above!
Be pretty, mamas! You deserve it!
What are your experiences with finding clothes and bras for nursing? What do you think fashion designers should know about clothing for nursing mothers?
