The Budget Fashionista

Dear Budget Fashionista:

Hi, After childbirth my breast seems to sag. I’m now a 34 B and have no clue as to what to do about my bra situation. Do you know the best bras that provide support and are cool for the summer?

Target.com

A: Sagging after child birth is a perfectly natural part of post-baby life.  Your first step should be to head the local department store to get properly fitted for a bra. Then while shopping for cotton bras, look for bras that are at least 85% cotton (few bras are 100%) and contains underwire for extra support. Here’s some great cotton bras to try for a little upliftment.


DKNY Cotton Cool plunge contour bra—$36.00. Smooth underwire that won’t dig into your sides.

Choice by Calvin Klein—prices start at $22.00. Has a whole range of ultra comfortable cotton bras with light underwire support.

Bali Cotton Craze Stretch Underwire Bra—$25.00.  Cool and comfortable, this bra moves with you.

All these bras may be found on figleaves.comAlso try stopping by your local Target for a solid selection of cotton underwire bras well under $20.

Notes on Proper Care: Never, ever wash your cotton bras in hot water because they will shrink. Instead opt to wash them in warm water in your bathroom sink using a little baby shampoo or detergent. Also, never put your cotton bras (or any bras for that matter) in the dryer. Again, it will shrink the bra, ruin the elastic, and possible shag other items.
