I started selling Larrivo Maternity & Nursingwear when I first started my business. I contacted the owner, Loretta, and she was very helpful and informative to me getting started with my store. Last year, I had the opportunity to meet Loretta in person and we have quickly become friends and business collaborators! I helped her to coordinate a photoshoot for her line and she helped me to get my wholesale business off the ground with tips and advice from a pro!
I love the Larrivo line because it contains items for moms who are pregnant and breastfeeding and it is designed to make you feel super special! Her items are sexy and flattering and can be worn for daywear or sleepwear! The Emily style is her most well-known piece and comes in a cami, tunic and chemise dress. And with her patented bra technology, these pieces are designed to be worn without a nursing bra! They have superb support and look flattering on many different body styles!
When you pair the them with her beautiful Dakota Pants (which have a drawstring waist and are also perfect for both during and after pregnancy!) and Ella Jacket you have a very cute going out ensemble which is also comfy enough to lounge around the house in! And mom’s love these items. They are comfortable, they give great support and they truly flatter many body styles. Whether you wear them to bed or out on the town, you will love the Larrivo line! And wait until you see the new items for Spring 2010 from Larrivo! I am in Los Angeles right now and got a sneak peak myself and I can’t wait to show them to you!! You’ll have to stay tuned to our Boutique Store for info on those items in the upcoming months.
As part of our Blogiversary Celebration, Loretta from Larrivo has offered to give away an Emily Tunic or Emily Chemise Dress in either the Skye or Madison’s Garden color to TWO lucky moms! That’s right – you choose if you want the tunic or the dress and TWO of you will get to make this lucky choice!!

I’ve actually yet to own an official “nursing” top so I don’t have a preference on empire or drop cup I’d have to try them out. If I won this I would probably most often wear the piece for sleepwear but I’m sure I would do both.

I like empire the best. I would probably wear these for sleeping just because they look so comfortable. Plus, in my neck of the woods it is quite chilly now…. sweaters it is.

favorite type of nursing access – drop cup
I think I would wear these for sleepwear or daywear , depending on my mood, since I am often sleeping in the clothes I wear, maybe both.

My favorite has to be drop cup because its easier to get to. I would wear these for daywear because they are so pretty!!!

I prefer the drop cup
oops, darn enter button. I would wear the dress at night but the tunic is a cute top

I like the drop cup tops better myself. I think I’d wear the top for daywear, but the dress for sleepwear.
I prefer a drop cup and would probably wear these as sleepwear.
What a cute line. I prefer drop cups and I could definitely wear these pieces during the day in my climate.
I prefer drop cup, because whie it means flashing more skin, a lot of empire style access points can be a pain to get up over the girls, comfortably. I’d wear this as daywear, which I’m sure I’d end up sleeping in, lol.
definately prefer drop cup and would wear these are daywear with a small jacket
I think I would love the empire type although I never had any specific nursing tops with my son.
I have the blogiversary button on my blog!

I prefer drop cup. It’s just easier to access, no bunched up fabric. I would wear these as sleepwear. They are a little too revealing for day time IMO.

I definitely like the empire, it’s more discreet!
I would wear this for everyday wear I think!

i prefer a drop cup and would probably wear this line around town and to bed!
considering I do not own even one nursing top, either would be wonderful. However the empire top looks really cool!
I really don’t know which I prefer, since I’ve only ever tried the drop cup. Empire seems like it would cover more though…
I’d wear the tunic as daywear and the dress as sleepwear.

I don’t own any empire style nursing wear, I do like the drop cup though. I think this would be the best type of nursing wear for travel because I would be willing to wear it both day or night.

I don’t have any nursing clothes that are empire style. From the looks of it, I would love it!

I prefer the empire nursing access because it covers my tummy and i feel much more comfortable while nursing. Also, I think I would wear these clothes mostly for daywear because they look so stylish and comfortable!

So far, all I have used is drop, but I am intrigued by the empire especially since some of the drop styles stretch out. I would probably wear them as sleepwear especially the chemise.

I like the drop cup and would wear these at night
I prefer the Drop Down Cup nursing access & would wear these as daywear since they are quite pretty!
I find the drop cup to be easier for me to nurse, I would wear these pieces as sleepwear as they seem very soft!
