Not to mention mainstreaming breastfeeding ! More power to this seemingly
beautiful fashion magazine editor, and "Elle" magazine. How about writing
to her, suggesting that her mag presents OK breastfeeding clothes ? I
suggested to a leading school of fashion to start a competition between
finishing students for designing bf clothing, but I would need a
sponsor for giving the prize money...
I sew my own bf clothing with the help of a mail order patterns company.
The patterns may not be to die for, but I choose the fabric (no all
coton, and no pink flowers), and the price is better...
