For 12 years Laura and Lauren have been fronting Curvy Kate campaigns as our Star in a Bra winners, inspiring so many women as they had all the fun, giggles and crazy moments together!

Cue 2021 and our original Curvy Kate Babes are 7 weeks apart in their first pregnancies with Curvy Kate Bab-ies.

Psst...you can shop all of these bras by clicking on the images.

Here are a few top tips from Curvy Kate’s Bra Whisperer, Katie, on how to find a great fitting bralette during your pregnancy and beyond:

Tip One: Early signs of pregnancy! Your boobs are often the first indicator that you are pregnant, tender, painful and swollen. For your first trimester our bralettes are perfect as the dual sizing means that you that they allow for fluctuation, you can continue to wear your same band size for this first few months.

Tip Two:  You can continue wearing wired bras throughout your pregnancy, but they must be perfectly fitting and the wire MUST reach right around all of your breast tissue to not interfere with milk ducts. Many women prefer to swap to non-wired bras during their pregnancy due to forever fluctuating boobs and ensuring that wires are not digging in.

Tip Three: During your pregnancy your rib cage will expand and so to get the most out of your new bras, we advise that from Trimester TWO you begin to buy your bras on the tightest hook and eye. Yes, we are going against every piece of bra fitting advice ever. But this will ensure that you get the most life out of your new and can loosen it off as you expand.

Tip Four: Always seek professional advice when it comes to bra fitting, you can book into for a virtual bra fitting with one of our Bra Whisperer VBF’s, submit a Bra Whisperer form if you would presser to send images or check our stockist list for your nearest boutique!
