Bravado Designs Essentials Nursing Bra Tank 710 Reviews

These cami/tanks are great. They are true to size. I will likely be getting these in another color too. Steph from Wisconsin

Good supportive tank in flattering look. The only reason I didn't give this 5 stars is because I wish it came in a 36 H/I as it fit great earlier in my pregnancy but now is very constricting and really wish I had a size larger! Jennifer from Fort Collins, CO

I have 4 daughters and they are ALL having babies!!! These bra/camis are without exception, the BEST around. Two daughters needed large cup sizes and I was concerned there wouldn't be sufficient support or comfort. Sent them each FF/G (DDD) sizes and BOTH were absolutely ecstatic! Perfect fit, great comfort and excellent support! (And believe me, my girls would not hesitate to politely suggest I get my money back if they didn't love the items). Now, about "Her Room." What a GREAT place!!! These nursing tanks are hard to find and very limited in color and sizes. I was delighted to find "Her Room" and the excellent selection, the very, very competitive prices, easy web site to navigate and quick delivery. And the note I added to the order to please gift wrap the two items in the same box was actually read AND done! My daughter described the gift wrapping as so lovely she hated to open the box and took picture of it first :) So, a hearty thank you to Her Room for everything. I will be back for more Bravado nursing camis: with 4 daughters, you can believe you have a long term customer. All my best to you, Melissa Melissa from Falmouth/ME/04105

This is a great foundation piece, but it's not true to size. Having just been measured at a store, I know I'm a 36F, but the 36F/G gives me medieval bar-wench cleavage when my breast are full. I clipped the tags after trying it on with emptied breasts, so I couldn't exchange it for a 38 F/G, that or a 36 H, which I suspect would have been more comfortable and provided more coverage. That said, it holds me up well without wires, which is more than I can say for most bra tanks. Elizabeth from Minneapolis, MN

Very, very comfortable! I pretty much live in this nursing tank. I was really surprised at how well this top supports. I have very heavy breasts, and I just assumed this top would be like all of the others I had tried in the past. Nope! I'm going to buy a couple more. It's not obvious that it's a nursing top either. It looks like a regular shirt. The clasps are the same color as the shirt, so it meshes really well. The clasps are a little different from what I'm used to, but I've got the hang of it. It can be a little tricky to put the clasp back together while holding a squirming baby, but It's still worth it. I do wish it came in a higher cup(H-I) but it still has a good amount of room. It does give me a slight torpedo shape, though. I'm all about comfort and practicality...Definitely getting a few more. I wish these were around when I was nursing my first 3 children. I guess 4th time's a charm! Jessie from Texas

The chocolate top I ordered fit beautifully and I would rate it a 5, as I would the other Bravada tops I own (blue and eggplant). However, buyer beware on the BLACK top. The shelf bra is made from a different material and it is very scratchy. I never anticipated this problem so I washed the top before I wore it and now it cannot be returned. Andrea from VA

It fits! Don't expect skinny straps or thin material: this is a top ( in this size) that is made to work. Pre-pregnancy, I had to wear a bra with stretchy camis as an undershirt and was very happy to find that this works on its own. It's not perfect, don't think you can do jumping jacks; but the length for my height was right, if just a tad long; the support straps stretch a little while the flap is put down. Overall the band is true to size and the cups fit as well. If you are chesty and want a nursing tank, this one will do you proud. Nicole from Honolulu

Comfortable and functional. Not as much support as my underwires that I usually wear, now that I am nursing I am all about comfort. If you order this you won't be sorry! Jessica from IA

I find the camisole to be comfortable, especially for sleep. Note that the cup sizes are different than for other Bravado bras: I wear a 34H/I in the Bliss, but in this I got a 36DD/E--the next cup size was really large above the breasts, causing it to gap at the top. I was afraid a smaller band size would be too constricting around my rib cage. This size is good overall, but a bit small in the actual cup for me. Annie from PA

Loved this item, the look and the feel were great. Very convenient if you wear a moby wrap to carry your baby and need to nurse. My husband loved the way this looked also. MOmma from Renton, Wa, USA

I bought this item because it was described as having a molded cup- it turns out that it does not.

HerRoom Response: This bra is a molded bra. You are probably wanting a contour bra where there is a little padding in the cups for modesty. Jenna from Portland, OR

Love, love love it...and so does my hubby. I'm hoping to order another or two soon. It's totally worth the cost. Super comfy, fits great over my growing belly and isn't clingy or uncomfortable. Totally recommend! Casey from Vermont

Comfortable and truly supportive, unlike other camisoles with so-called "shelf" bras-- which just plain don't work if you are a buxom girl. I was a 34 DD prepregnancy and ordering one band size and one cup size up worked perfectly. I still have room to grow, but I am getting plenty of support at the same time--strange but true!

I love this tank top. Very comfortable, and was true to size. It washed up with no problems. Now I am waiting to use the nursing part of it (hopefully in 2 weeks). Great fabric, great line and shape to the design, the support is real - not just a shelf (great for a larger busted woman like myself). Very Happy with this purchase. Suzanne from California

Surprisingly supportive for a stretchy cotton blend fabric - comfortable and flattering all day over the range sizes I am from really engorged to post feeding. Also the leopard print is much more fun and flirty than the average nursing bra and the baby actually seems to like looking at the pattern. Eileen

I love this tank. I ordered 2 more today and I'm only a week post-pregnancy. It is a little snug on my tummy, but I like that its that way. I feel a little more confident with my shape. The cups are smooth and don't irritate my nipples as much as other bras do. There is also way more support than other brands that I have. Michelle from Washington

I love this tank! To me, they are an essential for the nursing mother. i even have been wearing mine from my last pregnancy through my current pregnancy :) I find this the most supportive nursing tank out there ( and I have tried a LOT!) The cheaper brands just do not give the support that I need. The clasps are sturdy but invisible, and I use it for nursing in public all the time. It is a really comfy tank that washes well. dana from canada

Great, great nursing tank!!!!! This full bra on the inside is genius for fuller breasted women. I live in a very humid, hot state and delivered in the summer. I looked high and low for a nursing tank to wear on hot days that was supportive, this is it! Anna from Mississippi

I bought one of these to try, and promptly ordered 3 more. The bra is actually supportive and comfortable at the same time, and the drop down cups provide good access for me to nurse my new baby without having to "arrange" my breast or the bra fabric. The only thing that kept me from giving it 5 stars is that it could be a little looser thru the body (more of an empire waist top look) to flatter the postpartum belly. But, overall, I LOVE these tanks and plan to wear them for a long time. Heather from Ypsilanti,MI USA

I love this tank! It has a real bra inside and it actually support full breasts, while looking great. I have 5 different colors! Hazel from Chicago

This is better than any other tank I tried on, but it's still not particularly supportive. I do like the fit and length of the waist. Barb from GA

I have tried SOOOOOOO many nursing tanks and this one is the best of them all. Don't waste your money on the cheaper versions. I needed the support of a real bra instead of just a shelf bra in a tank and this delivered. The quality is just what I expect from Bravado as well. Many of the other styes I've tried ( Target, Motherhood) just looked like they were gonna fall apart after a wash ...and the Glamourmom straps and clasps were AWFUL. All of those other brands had nursing holes too, and I hate feeling like I'm wearing a six pack of beer. This tank has a full drop down cup ( as do all of their bras, I've just found out...) which is far more comfortable and functional ( especially if you are well-endowed like I am) I loved the thicker straps...and the clasps are barely noticeable but really easy to use as well. You can hardly tell this is a nursing tank. It's way cute too! The rouching is a nice detail and I like the fact that it is a bit a-line so it does not cling to my pp belly :) I wear this tank when I'm going out as a layering tool for NIP. With another shirt over top, there is virtually nothing showing once your baby is latched on. My belly stays covered and no blankets to fall off! Works great for me. This company really knows what a nursing mother needs. Thanks Bravado Designs! Lucy from Canadian mom of one
