I went through my old clothes today because, a) I was craving the sense of release that accompanies a trip to the Goodwill donation center and, b) I wanted an excuse to buy more new clothes.
Tucked in among the crewneck t-shirts I cannot wear with my newly magnificent lactating breasts and the pants that are still a bit too small and the sweaters I cannot imagine ever looked good on me was a bra from before I was pregnant. Now, technically, I was still quite, um, magnificent before becoming a breastfeeder, but that little pre-pregnancy bra was so delicate and cute and lacy, it looked like something I might have worn when I was 14—which, incidentally, was before I got my period.
Also: c) I’m apparently a bit of a masochist, as nothing says "recipe for low-self-esteem" than trying on all your old clothes three weeks after giving birth.

Ha ha, I had this exact same experience! Looking at my old bras, all D and E cups (yup, I'm in a G now, an effin' G!) and thinking "aw, my little boobs were so cute!"
I never would have believed I'd think of my pre-pregnancy boobs as small and cute.
