Bra review- Cake Maternity seamfree lingerie
Cake Lingerie has added a soft seamless style to its growing range of maternity bras and we LOVE it!
We started ranging this luxury seamless maternity/nursing range approximately 6 weeks ago and we have sold out twice in this short space of time. I wish I could say this of all my stock!
The Embrace Me line, which is designed for women at the most sensitive stages of a pregnancy, is described the first of its kind to offer a luxurious, seamless non-restrictive maternity and nursing bra with structure.
“Heightened hormonal activity during the first trimester and preparatory stages just prior and post birth, can create symptoms of breast tenderness and soreness. Wearing a soft, comfortable, yet supportive bra is vital to your breast health’ says Tracey Montford, founder and designer at Cake Lingerie.
In the first weeks of pregnancy when your breasts are very tender and uncomfortable this bra is perfect for wearing as a sleep bra. In the first days post delivery when your milk is coming in this bra is perfect and at all other times during pregnancy when you just want to have no restriction around your diaphragm – this is your bra!
The one thing we don’t like about this bra is the colour options. Option 1: Grey. Looks like it started its life white and was washed with the darks. Option 2: Shell. A pale yellowy pink colour. Again looks like it started its life as a vibrant colour and at some point ended up looking like it does.
We joke with our customers about the fact that Cake has deliberately coloured the fabrics in these colours as the menfolk would have probably ruined them at some point in time by washing them with other colours (being helpful while you are busy with a new born), so they are just getting in first and saving them the time and effort! The good news is that Cake are looking at new colours for the next season and we have given our feedback on what we would like already!
Once you get past the fact that the colours are ugly and get the bra on, I guarantee you won’t want to take it off! The matching briefs are divine to wear too. Super comfy to wear over bump and post caesarean also. Seamfree and the softest fabrics.
A great investment for pregnancy and beyond!
Maternity lingerie fittings- why you need to get this right!
Firstly- Congratulations!!!
Maternity lingerie-
We hear it all the time. “I can’t find pretty Maternity Bras”, “Why does finding maternity lingerie have to be so hard?”, “I need some comfortable, affordable Maternity Lingerie to wear during Pregnancy”, “How do I know if my bra still fits?”, “when do I have to go in to a maternity bra?”
We don’t pretend we know the answers to these and many more questions regarding pregnancy and bra fitting during pregnancy. We actually know!
Did you know that you can be a certain size in one bra and be a completely different size in another brand or even a different style by the same supplier? It really does mean that you can’t shop off the rack or online and guarantee success. Savings maybe (as online stores don’t have the massive costs of a bricks and mortar store), but is it a false economy when you don’t wear the bra because it’s incomfortable or it’s damaging your breast tissue?
We are trained to fit lingerie which is exceptionally important during pregnancy and feeding. We guarantee the correct fit for you – personally (every woman is unique in many ways but particularly when it comes to boobs).
Women are all different shapes and sizes and then there is the other factors like shoulder width, length of your torso etc. Band size, cup size. Getting confused?? Understandable really, but do NOT stress (it’s not good for you in your condition!) when you come to have a fitting with the qualified fitters at Bravista Lingerie & swimwear you are taking all the guess work and stress out of it.
In summary: You want to buy bras that will fit and last through your pregnancy? You want someone to advise you of what styles are suitable for your needs? You don’t want to waste your money buying bras that don’t fit? You want to take the best care of your breast tissue during pregnancy and feeding? You want to be sure you are not damaging your breast tissue by wearing the wrong size bra?
Simple really. Go to a lingerie store that offers a fitting service with staff trained to guarantee you walk out with the best bra for you!
Bravista- Lingerie & swimwear has 4 staff all trained to offer professional fitting service and we are open 7 days.
