Why does it take 30 minutes for a bra fitting?

Customers sometimes wonder why it takes 20-30 minutes for a bra fitting. Well, the short answer is that we don't just measure. We try on different style, brand, size and determine the best fit, support and shape for your body. We will adjust on you every single bra from straps to band and will let you know why it fits or doesn't fit. You will try between 10-15 bras within your size range. Some customers come in with different concerns -sagging or uneaven breast (very common), straps digging or underwire poking- every one is different. We do our best to address your concerns and make sure you are happy with the fit and your purchase.

Simone Perele Tresor: Why we like it? We love the contrast of the light (Ivory) and dark (black). The pleats are also unusual.

"A full busted women wearing the wrong bra size can do serious damage to her back and neck. A well fitting bra will alleviate the weight on your shoulder and improve your posture. If your straps are digging into your shoulders and leaving marks. try a smaller band size and a deeper cup"

FACT: 90% of the support of the bra comes from the band not the straps.

Stylish Nursing Bras in Washington, DC

Gone are the days when maternity bras were cumbersome and unflattering. We are so excited to finally introduce a stylish nursing bra that offers support and looks pretty!

This beautiful new line from Marie Jo was designed with busy on-the-go moms that don't want to sacrifice style over comfort and support. It's available in Ivory (as shown) or black.

The Marie Jo Avero Nursing Bra has a fastening on the shoulder strap just above the cup, which can easily be unfastened to allow the cup down. It is also seamless under your clothes.

We recommends purchasing three nursing bras: one to wear, one for the laundry, and one to have clean and ready in your drawer. Remember that you will be producing a lot of milk and will suffer from leaky breasts, so you will need to wash your maternity bras frequently.

You can now breasfeed with style!

P.S: Marie Jo Avero Nursing Bra Size: 34-40B, 32-40CDE, 32-36F, Color: Black, Natural (As Shown)
