| - Two words: BIG PANTIES.
Ok, well I know that's kind of weird--but I was bulging out of my pre-pregancy undies (even though I've lost 25 pounds since becoming pregnant...yea morning sickness) and dying to find new ones that actually fit. I don't really fancy grannie panties, but when you're as big and tall as I am, you realize that past size 8 cotton panties don't come in bikini or hipster...they only come in "grannie"........ They had some AWESOME panties...in size XL (Bravado) bikini style...woohoo! Priced not too bad...$11 a piece.
Now on to the cantaloupes attached to my chest: size 38G...and I'm not that pregnant...barely four months. Every bra I had wasn't working. After reading Tina N's review of this store and Bravado bras, I was curious. I called ahead, made sure they had my size and the woman working put them aside for me. After I tried them on, I settled on two...a tank and a cotton bra...both nursing, but comfortable enough to wear right now. The lady working there was SO helpful. I've never even SEEN a nursing bra and although I'm not buying it for that purpose, I was still clueless about how it worked. She explained it to me with not an ounce of condescension and was very attentive in making sure I got the right fit.
I ended up with 4 panties, 1 bra tank, 1 bra, and a bathing suit and a bill around $200. I did try on some of the clothes, but for me, being as big as I am, clothes shopping at most maternity stores is very disappointing. I was disappointed in the clothing options as usual because of the small sizes (S-XL), but I wasn't there for the clothes anyway. I was there for essentials--underwear and bathing suit...all you really need being pregnant in hell, er...Phoenix.
