    Favorite dress with shelf bra

    To disable ads, please log-in.

    Thanks for entertaining me while I'm in the hospital, ladies . Since it's hard to internet shop on a phone I thought I'd throw this at y'all too:

    My back brace is going to make real bras pretty uncomfortable for awhile. I figured a pull-over dress with a shelf bra or halter support will be the easiest thing to wear for a bit. Anyone have a favorite that I should check out?

    Thanks!!

    There are a couple here at Team Estrogen. One is an editor's choice -- Susan likes it with a pink Sheila Moon bolero jacket.

    - Red hardtail 26" aluminum mountain bike, Bontrager Evoke WSD saddle
    - Royal blue 2018 aluminum gravel bike, Rivet Pearl saddle

    Gone but not forgotten:
    - Silver 2003 aluminum road bike
    - Two awesome worn out Juliana saddles

    Eek...I love all of them, but I'm sure this hospital bill is going to be outrageous. I'll keep googling - trying to keep this under $50!

    I bought 2 sun dresses from Athleta that fit the bill. One even has "contour" pads in the shelf bra, which makes it nice for a small chested person.

    I just got a GREAT dress for $40. It's actually a swimsuit cover up, at least I think it was because it was in the swim wear section. I'll see if I can find it online.

    You might be able to find some nice tank tops with built-in shelf bras. I have one from Icebreaker and another from Ex Officio.

    Have they given you any indication as to when they'll let you go home?

    Yeah, I think I'll look at Target for some too. I like those anyway. The dress idea is ending up pretty expensive but I just thought it would be easier than jeans.

    They're deciding sometime today - I'm hoping tomorrow I can go home. I've stumped the therapists so I can't think of why else they'd need to keep me. Thanks to yoga, I passed all of my balance tests this morning!

    One thing about Athleta, they only have dresses for TALL people. Which sucks.

    Unless you're 5'7". Or were. But the only dress I have from them has sleeves that are too short Good thing I'm looking for warm-weather clothes now!
