It’s time for a postpartum support garment that is easy to conceal under any outfit whether you’re wearing sweats, jeans, […]

I’m picky about my bras and I have a favorite. Can’t I just use that bra throughout my pregnancy in a bigger size as I grow?

Regular bras can lack proper support for a pregnant woman. During pregnancy, your breasts will not only change size and shape regularly, but at times they can be sore making you feel like wearing no bra at all!  A good pregnancy bra can provide some relief for you.  Design Veronique pregnancy and nursing bras are […]
