Glamour Mom Nursing Top Review & Mother's Day Giveaway






Every new mom wants to be stylish, especially after nine months of feeling like a cow. But its not always easy to do when you're nursing your baby. Between the nursing shirts, nursing bras, and the absorbent padding, you can feel like you have dozens of layers on. But at Glamour Mom, you can find tons of sexy tops that have built in nursing bras, which eliminates a lot of that unneccessary bluge.



There are lots of things I liked about the Brown Nursing Bra Long Tank that I received to review. You can use it as a bottom layer or by itself. Its very comfortable and will be great for the upcoming summer months. The built in bra will make it a lot cooler. The flap snaps open easily and allows you to nurse your baby discretely. And because it comes down long, it helps to hide the fact that I'm still wearing my maternity pants (Shhh-don't tell anyone). With Glamour Mom you are combining fashion with practicality.




In addition to their nursing tanks, they also have some lovely maternity shirts, sleep-wear, and  infant wear. They even have a color of the month club and gift certificates available which would make a great gift for Mother's Day. All of their items are sold at reasonable prices, especially considering they are a shirt and bra in one. Many nursing bras alone would cost more than one of their shirts.

I LOVE the Glamourmom long nursing tanks - they are great for covering tummy & keeping it warm during colder months. I recently purchased the longsleeve nursing tank & am TOTALLY DISSAPOINTED however. Given you've done such a great job reviewing their tanks. I thought I'd help out with a review from my experience with the long sleeve top (which I expected to be a long sleeve version of their tanks).
It was a waste of money. Utterly Crap product. The size guide isn't right. Bust fits same as per other tanks - for me, that's a M, however tummy part of tank is huge & baggy, yet short in length - I have skin showing between the top & my trousers! This is stupid -why have long sleeves but a short waist? How is that warm for winter? Personally I'd rather wear a long tank thank you very much. Warning to all mums - this top is very unflattering & is not what it says it is. It is unable to be worn as an undergarment because is so baggy. Bulges out at back & front. I had to have the bodice taken in just so that I could wear it. The sleeves are 2 inches short in length & look ridiculous. I will only wear this as an undergarment now that it's been altered to fit at all! I'm trying to avoid having the sleeves altered (will see how it goes over the next week) but my bet is I'll get them altered - why? Well, the fit is great over upper arm but they are sewn straight so are baggy over forearm. They should be sewn slimmer over the forearm to flatter (like any other top in this category) and so that as an undergarment you don't get visible fold/creases because it's too baggy to go under another top!
As a plus, the fabric is beautiful, soft, stretchy cotton spandex. It's the ideal fabric for a flattering, comfy fit but as no thought has been put into the design of the garment the qualities of the fabric are underutilised.
I do NOT recommend this product to any nursing mother. Stick to the glamourmom nursing tanks - I especially love the long tanks - they are a GREAT fit.
In terms of the sleeves & bodice, I'd liken the fit to a raglan tshirt. Straight cut, unflattering, baggy. I think they just had China factory incorporate their patented boob feeding part into a raglan tshirt & didn't even check sizing for US, Europeans etc cause the short sleeves & short bodice make me think it's China's sizes (which are smaller & shorter).
I'd give this -1 stars if I could. Forget the $70 retail, I wouldn't buy another one even if they were half price! Avoid.
