What’s Your Style?

If you have ever cruised a store that sells nursing clothing, there is one thing that you may have felt overwhelmed at the least. So besides looking for your size, what else should you be looking at?

How about the nursing opening style!

So are you asking yourself “What is the nursing opening style?”. The nursing opening style is how the shirt is opened in order to nurse your little one. There are many styles and you may need to try more than one to find which is the one you prefer.

Some of the most familiar styles are

• Lift from Bottom
• Lift from Empire Waist
• Drop Cup
• Pull Down

Join us over the next few days as we explore the different styles of nursing openings and the pros and cons of each style.

Nursing Clothing For Woman With Curves

Many woman that I have assisted in finding the perfect nursing piece for their collection are plus sized and you know what one thing is common between all of them- frustration! What are they frustrated about?

Plus sized clothing being modeled by a size 2 woman. Now how are you to get a good picture of what a woman with healthy curves is going to look like? Recently I had the pleasure to have a client model some of her favorite pieces in the 3x range.

The “Must Have” Nursing Shirt For Fall, Winter And Beyond!

Brrrr….it’s getting chilly out there!  I just glanced out my window and it is currently raining leaves!  It’s Fall!  Next is Winter and you need to be prepared!

The Majamas Liliop Breastfeeding Top is perfect for Casual and Dress up attire.  With such a versatile top you can have all your bases covered.  There are all sorts of Holiday functions coming up and how stylish will you look in your Liliop top?  You can dress it up with nice slacks or a skirt, or take it casual with some jeans.

The Liliop top features a discreet pull-over design.  You can’t even tell it’s a nursing shirt!  Where were these 10 years ago?  Imagine all the Mother’s that could have been saved from that horrible nursing fashion of the cropped flap shirt!

Our fourth winner of the September Baby Photo Contest loves the Liliop Top.

Majamas tops are so versatile! The Liliop Top is beautiful and I know I will be wearing it long after I stop nursing my youngest. These tops can be worn through pregnancy and way beyond! They are very classy and am so glad I found tops that fit and look great throughout all the changes that my body has gone through with pregnancy and thereafter!
Judy has been a great resource and she goes out of her way to make the customer happy! She gives the most personal and professional service and offers a wide variety of products and clothing in her boutique. Judy, thank you for everything!
