What do women really want in a bra? While fashion writers tend to cover this issue as a monolith, those of us who work in the industry know that it is a question that is far more complicated. 25 years ago two women sat down in their kitchen and tried to ask themselves that same question. The result was a test bra made from leopard print fabric that birthed Bravado Designs™ who … Read More

I’m not a mom, but I’ve quickly learned that motherhood is everywhere in your early 30’s. I’ve already seen scores of friends approach it differently: while some triple down on the ballet lessons, others put in baby shower requests for non-gendered clothing.

In my last post about nursing bras I talked about some brands I wanted to try and last week I got the opportunity to personally try on Cake Lingerie. Other then Target nursing bras (which by the way DON’T work for larger breasted gals like myself) Cake Lingerie have been the first nursing bra’s I have tried.
