I know I've read that most stores will convert regular bras into nursing bras. When I called our local store, they were a little clueless.
-
I never heard of this! My nice bras are too small and underwire so I won't bother converting them!
-
I haven't heard of that. I feel like it would just be easier to get new nursing bras .I'd want to save my old bras for when I'd hopefully need them again.
-
Wow so interesting never heard of this, but I wouldn't be surprised if this service was offered.
-
I know the nordstrom in houston does it (they offered), but I did not have it done. I would be curious to know how that works. I ended up buying all new bras after I stopped nursing (due to size changes), so I should have just converted my old bras.
-
@Thenetexan: Oh, good to know! I'm in Houston as well but when I called to ask they had no idea what I was talking about. Did they offer it for bras purchased there or could you bring in any bras?
-
Sometimes I feel like their staff is not what it used to be. If I recall, it was only for bras purchased there, but it did not have to be at time of purchase. Keep calling to ask until you get a competent person or ask for the manager. If you do it, please repost to let us know if you like it. If I have another, I would seriously consider it.

Bumping this thread because I heard this today as well! I think I might splurge after LO arrives and buy a nice bra at Nordstrom to have converted into a nursing bra!
-
@daniellemybelle: A few details. You need to speak to the alterations dept, not lingerie dept. They do it for any bra, even if not purchased there.
-
How much does it cost? I would think it might be more economical to just buy a nursing bra.
-
@sunny: It's $10, and free if you have a Nordstrom credit card.
-
That's a pretty cool service! Although honestly I think there are so many really nice nursing bras out there now (I LOVE Hotmilk - some very pretty and even kind of sexy styles) that I don't know that I'd see a need for it personally.
-
Never heard of this but I agree it would probably be cheaper and easier to just buy a nursing bra
-
@daniellemybelle: whoa! That is super cheap!
-
The reason I really like the idea of this is that I haven't been able to find many nice nursing bras in stores. I'd rather see them & try them on in real life instead of ordering it.
-
@daniellemybelle: I think it's a great idea.
