“We encourage shoppers to support our local merchants during this holiday season,” said Mayor Quan. “The free parking will make it that much more convenient. However, we do remind shoppers to check their watches to be sure they move their cars before the posted limit expires so that other shoppers may also have the opportunity to take advantage of this holiday ‘gift’ from the City.”

NURSING MOMS!! Get the BEST fit for you and buy the best bra’s for you! An estimated 80 percent of women buy the wrong-size nursing bra.

Tonnie McIntyre is a certified nursing bra fitter and currently manages In Full Swing Plus Sizes Originally trained by Claudette Van Rusten of Cotton and Co, Tonnie has fit hundreds of new moms and moms-to-be. A former Nordstrom’s manager, Tonnie has over 15 years of experience helping women of all shapes, sizes and ages find just what they need to feel great. After you are properly measure, shop all your favorite brands of bras and tank-tops for all your nursing needs! If you are PREGNANT, now is a great time to get measured.

COME GET THE BEST NURSING BRA FOR YOU

A poorly fitting bra not only will be uncomfortable but also may increase the risk of plugged ducts and/or mastitis, a breast infection. An ill-fitting bra can put pressure on milk ducts, which can make them vulnerable to infection-causing bacteria. An estimated 80 percent of women buy the wrong-size nursing bra. Where do they go wrong? They increase the bra band size and stay with the same cup size. Most women can stay with their original band size–the rib cage expands a bit during pregnancy, but usually not enough to require a larger band size.

Get properly fitted! * Bra fitting is with Purchase**
