Simone Perele 1948 Collection as featured on Lingerie Briefs

Yesterday, I watched the new documentary on Netflix, “Feminists: What Were They Thinking?”. It stirred some hardcore memories of the culture in which I came of age. It is set in the 1970’s when powerful female voices emerged to rally the call for social equality.

_MG_1484-Modifier

In my continuing effort to recognize the needs of pregnant women and their personal rapport with their body images during the maternity process, swimwear cannot be ignored.  Yes it’s true, fashion trends have evolved (at least since I was pregnant) and regular swimsuits are perfectly acceptable. But I remember the evolving breast and belly sizes and the desire for not only fashion, but uber comfort and real support. Once again, both Cake Maternity and Cache Read More
