Bravado Essential Nursing Tank?

For STM+ who nursed... while we are on the topic of nursing bras/clothes today figure I will ask this. 

Is this tank worth the $50/top?  I am very small, like AA cup pre-pregnancy, and now I think I'm closer to an A.  I hate bras... being so small chested I just really find anything with underwire uncomfortable and wear mostly sports type bras for comfort whenever I can.  I did buy 2 of the seamless Bravado bras and 2 of the sleeping Bravado bras for nursing cause they were on a great sale from Gap, but I feel like nursing tanks might be more my speed.  I just can't seem to get past the $50 price tag per top!  Gap doesn't have my size right now but diapers.com does. 

Also, I'm a little concerned because the smallest size is a 34B/C.  Kinda worried that will be wayyyy too big for me.  I'm petite, not quite 5'1 and about 105-110 lb before pregnancy.  I think I was a 32-34 band pre preg and those bras still fit, I just fill out the cup a little better now.  My boobs haven't grown too much.  Any help from you experienced mammas appreciated!

    Target has the cheapy version of these (still by Bravado). Think they were $27 each or something. Look online though, I got some and they seem to be good quality and fit

    Hmmm, thanks for the tip!  The only Bravado nursing tanks I saw on Target's site was the same $49 Essential top...  I did see a few other brands for cheaper and will check the stores near us to see how they feel/fit.  Will keep my eyes peeled and look around more, maybe in September for the next CC bill lol.

    I am very large busted (36H) and I hated the Bravado tanks because they couldn't keep my breasts separated.  Obviously I was looking for a miracle.  However, the tanks themselves are very high quality with thick fabric, so if you are planning to nurse long-term or have multiple babies I would definitely recommend them as they will definitely hold up.

    I think the 34 B/C would probably work for you, as it is fairly likely that your cup size will increase a bit more once your milk comes in.  Maybe you could wait until after LO is born to make sure, and just pick up a couple cheapy Gilligan & O'Malley nursing tanks from Target for the first few postpartum days.

    It's the Basics by Bravado Felicity nursing cami...I got it online at Target for $25.99. It does have some ribbing on the side for fit so i wouldn't wear it out of the house on it's own, but the material is super comfy and it fits well!

    The bravado tanks are worth the money if you are well endowed. If not, i doubt you need to spend the money.
