I think I'll go for the medium and just hope there's not a big difference in the waist fit...thanks for your help! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-tanks-or-tees-for-small-frame#post-1311600 Wed, 01 Jan 2014 13:17:42 +0000 Cara M. 17 1311600@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pirouette: the large fits just right in the chest. Supportive but not too tight. Their size guide was true to size for me. Can you see that online? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-tanks-or-tees-for-small-frame#post-1311479 Wed, 01 Jan 2014 11:15:19 +0000 Pirouette 1311479@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cara M. 17: hmm...we don't have a target in the area so I was going to order online. Is it tight in the chest? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-tanks-or-tees-for-small-frame#post-1311461 Wed, 01 Jan 2014 10:53:28 +0000 Cara M. 17 1311461@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pirouette: just fyi, I am 5'3, ~120 pounds, 36DD/E and I'm wearing the size large, so definitely try on! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-tanks-or-tees-for-small-frame#post-1311404 Wed, 01 Jan 2014 09:47:04 +0000 Pirouette 1311404@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cara M. 17: @scg00387: awesome thanks!!! Gonna try them out!</p> <p>@shopaholic: perfect, I'm almost the same (5'3 and 32D pp - maybe DD these days but prob still D if I'm not engorged!) So that sounds like they will fit well! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-tanks-or-tees-for-small-frame#post-1311100 Tue, 31 Dec 2013 21:34:27 +0000 shopaholic 1311100@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pirouette: I'm not quite 5'4" and ~ 34C/D with these pp boobs and LOVE the Bravado (Target) nursing tanks. I wear them almost everyday since baby. Size small. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-tanks-or-tees-for-small-frame#post-1311064 Tue, 31 Dec 2013 21:09:37 +0000 immabeetoo 1311064@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pirouette: seconding the target bravado basics. I like them better than the expensive "real" bravado ones. I've used and abused mine for.. 13 months now and they fit great. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-tanks-or-tees-for-small-frame#post-1311060 Tue, 31 Dec 2013 21:03:31 +0000 Cara M. 17 1311060@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pirouette: the target brand are fitted better in the stomach and are great to wear under sweaters. The real bravado ones are a bit looser and you could wear them with an open cardigan. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-tanks-or-tees-for-small-frame#post-1307865 Mon, 30 Dec 2013 12:18:40 +0000 Pirouette 1307865@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cara M. 17: which bravado do you prefer? The target one or regular? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-tanks-or-tees-for-small-frame#post-1307795 Mon, 30 Dec 2013 11:57:02 +0000 Cara M. 17 1307795@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pirouette: I'm having this same issue with the target tanks. I actually like the bravado basics at target and I have one regular bravado tank. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-tanks-or-tees-for-small-frame#post-1307745 Mon, 30 Dec 2013 11:39:54 +0000 Pirouette 1307745@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey: i wonder if the non maternity style would be as comfortable? I have one in maternity size and it was too big until the final weeks of pregnancy, so I don't think it will fit now. </p> <p>@Foodnerd81: ooh maybe I'll try them out then!</p> <p>@edelweiss: thats my one issue with ON- I feel like different colors of the same shirt always fit differently! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-tanks-or-tees-for-small-frame#post-1307610 Mon, 30 Dec 2013 11:03:39 +0000 edelweiss 1307610@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i like the ribbed jersey knit maternity tanks from old navy--i still wear them postpartum. some of the colors were from a better fabric than others. they are a *tad* long in the straps, but i can deal with that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-tanks-or-tees-for-small-frame#post-1307598 Mon, 30 Dec 2013 11:00:23 +0000 Foodnerd81 1307598@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pirouette: the bravado ones might be good then. They won't be super tight in the belly but way more fitted than target. I'm not petite but my stomach is back to normal size and they are comfortably fitted (size 36d tank, wear a med or large usually). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-tanks-or-tees-for-small-frame#post-1307574 Mon, 30 Dec 2013 10:53:49 +0000 pl0508 1307574@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pirouette: I think the jersey stretch ! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-tanks-or-tees-for-small-frame#post-1307573 Mon, 30 Dec 2013 10:52:54 +0000 chopsuey 1307573@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pirouette: <a href="http://m.gap.com/product.html?dn=gp761563022&#038;dv=0&#038;shopid=0&#038;pdn=gc6049" rel="nofollow">http://m.gap.com/product.html?dn=gp761563022&#038;dv=0&#038;shopid=0&#038;pdn=gc6049</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-tanks-or-tees-for-small-frame#post-1307564 Mon, 30 Dec 2013 10:51:07 +0000 chopsuey 1307564@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I loooooooove the gap maternity cami tanks. My son is 1 and I still wear them every day. :) so comfy and great support! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-tanks-or-tees-for-small-frame#post-1307560 Mon, 30 Dec 2013 10:50:08 +0000 Pirouette 1307560@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@coacheswife123: thanks! It looks like they have jersey stretch and regular - any idea which you have?</p> <p>@locavore_mama: I know, it seems like there's just nothing out there! </p> <p>@Foodnerd81: I think thats my issue - my boobs are ginormous right now and I'm small elsewhere, so I'm not a size. I guess nursing bra plus tank is the only way to go. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-tanks-or-tees-for-small-frame#post-1307538 Mon, 30 Dec 2013 10:42:13 +0000 Foodnerd81 1307538@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The target ones really do lose their shape quickly. I have a bravado one that's great but is sized on top (like 36d or whatever). I second the tami tank suggestion- you need a nursing bra under but they hold their shape really well and are easy to pull down, but not too low cut. They can just look a little blah on their own. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-tanks-or-tees-for-small-frame#post-1307530 Mon, 30 Dec 2013 10:38:42 +0000 regberadaisy 1307530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Great question. I had one from ON but it was horrible. Completely lost its shape in the wash </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-tanks-or-tees-for-small-frame#post-1307515 Mon, 30 Dec 2013 10:34:48 +0000 pl0508 1307515@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I lived in the tami tanks by old navy when nursing. They stretch to just pull down but hold their shape ! They are awesome !!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-tanks-or-tees-for-small-frame#post-1307509 Mon, 30 Dec 2013 10:33:05 +0000 Pirouette 1307509@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought a few nursing tanks from target but they are huge in the belly and really long, yet a little tight in the boobs (not uncomfortably so, but maybe not so appropriate for out of the house!) I have an hour glass figure and am petite - are there any tanks or tees out there that might fit my frame? I was looking at the ones at gap.com but the reviews aren't great. Just wondering if anyone found any good brands that worked for a small frame. I'd love to be able to wear one outside with a cardigan over it! </p>
