I’ll be honest here, and say that I haven’t worn a sexy bra in months being almost full term with baby number two. It’s just that I haven’t seen a flattering “nursing capable” bra out there that sparked my interest. However, thanks to the great people over at Bravado Designs, I was introduced to one of their newest and most gorgeous designs, “The Sublime.” This bra was designed to fit comfortably during pregnancy and beyond, allowing for two different cup sizes within the same bra, ensuring that your transition into nursing goes smoothly and fits beautifully.
I’d have to say that the biggest perk of this nursing bra, is that it doesn’t look anything like a nursing bra in the fact that it’s sexy, stylish and comes with the option of purchasing their darker, more expressive color, Black Cherry. But here’s the real kicker, this incredibly stylish nursing bra was actually comfortable to wear and made me feel more attractive than I’ve felt in months with this pregnancy. Usually those two don’t go hand in hand, but in this case, I feel Bravado has the market cornered.
Sublime Features - Bravado Designs
- Soft, delicate lace and beautiful design elements to show off your radiant style.
- Cotton lining in the cups against your skin as recommended by health care professionals, to keep you feeling wonderfully comfortable.
- Double-cup sizes with fabric that gently expands and contracts with your body; perfect to fit your changing size needs during pregnancy and nursing.
- Soft cup design, with fabric that feels feather-light on your body.
- Easy nursing features, including cups that drop fully and easily away from the breast to promote skin-to-skin contact with baby, and signature B-Clips that lie flat under clothing and provide one-handed nursing access.
- Matching bottoms are available to complete the set.
My Thoughts
Pros:
- Sexy and Stylish Design
- Surprisingly Comfortable
- Easy to open Clips
- Available in larger cup sizes
Cons:
- Visible lines through lighter clothing(so this bra is best worn with a thicker material)
- Delicate material, easy to snag(handle with care)
- A bit of a splurge with a $45.00 price tag, (but in all honesty…totally worth it!)
So, I’ve been wearing the Sublime Nursing Bra almost daily as well as the Body Silk Seamless Nursing Bra, which in my opinion has to be one of the most comfortable bras I’ve ever worn hands down especially in these last few weeks of pregnancy. I am so thrilled to finally have an attractive nursing bra as part of my maternity/nursing collection.
The Sublime Nursing Bra is available at www.bravadodesigns.com ($45.00)

Oooohhh. I just ordered the Sublime one and I’m waiting patiently for it to arrive. I need a good bra to get me through the last 16 days of this pregnancy.
