Dear Empress: How can I nurse in normal clothes?


Dear Empress:

How can I make a regular wardrobe acceptable for nursing?  I want to easily breastfeed my baby without completely undressing or buying an entire wardrobe of nursing specific tops that I can only wear for a limited period of time.

Dear Milking Mom, 
I can recommend four categories of traditional clothing that will allow cinchy chic access to la leche.
button-down:
the beauty of a button-down lies in its adaptability.  Expose the serving saucers and enshroud the rest.  It need not buttondown to hip, a handful of buttons on a henley is plenty.  Zippers and hook and eyes are just as advantageous, but my favorite alternative is a tie-neck blouse, the button-front’s flirtatious cousin.

criss-cross wrap:

Not only will this option leave your core under the covers, it will also allow you to unveil a single teet at a time.

drapes & cowls

The extra fabric cloaks you and your sweet suckling’s business.

wide neck
The neckline may scoop, dive, or lunge but make sure it stretches.  And possibly pair it with a nursing tank like Bravado’s Essential Nursing Bra Tank.

Beauty-full Tuesday: NieNie

Stephanie Nielson of the NieNie Dialogues is visiting Cardigan Empire to help us launch a new body image series.  Beauty-full Tuesday features real women with real insecurities moving past them to beautiful.

Before my 2008 airplane accident, my heels were high and my belts were tight.  Comfort folded to fashion. 
I still love fashion, especially being feminine. Frills, slips, soft colors, and fabrics make me feel like a lady, which helps me to act like a lady.  And I’ve come to realize that I can be beautiful again.
But post-crash I have to prioritize comfort.   And my modesty is even more specialized.  High collars, long sleeves and skirts paired with stockings.  I have a lot of restrictions in selecting clothes that suit my new conditions. But you can still be darling, modest, and fashionable, even with issues.
Pretty isn’t in a dress, a lipstick, or a perfect body.  Pretty radiates from a confident, feminine, comfortable soul.  Dress your soul in these qualities first, and you will look beautiful no matter how simply you are dressed.
Feed me fashionably fresh
