Often it can seem like the bras that fit best are made in solid drab colors with tiny bows, making me feel less like myself and more like my grandmother. So what makes a bralette brilliant?
Fit
As moms, we want clothing that fits right without pinching or pulling. It doesn’t slip when we bend down to kiss tear covered cheeks or play tag for the thousandth time.
Versatility
When it comes to bralettes, it is important to be able to wear them while lounging around the house but also under a shirt for a quick trip to the grocery store without worrying about a nip slip.
Appearance
Just because we want a bralette that fits well and is versatile doesn’t mean we want to compromise on how it looks or makes us feel. As moms, we compromise on a lot of things, but we still want to feel cute and/or sexy. Personally, I draw the line at ugly underwear.
