Ok... Let's Talk BRAS!

[cindy0721]

I am a very unhappy 38DD woman right now I need to find a good bra that does not dig into my shoulders and can perk these girlies up.. any good suggestions?

Lane bryant has great bras there i am in a 42 DDD and i hate them but the best bras i found are there.

I don't have any suggestions, but I feel your frustration too. I'm a 34DD. I have a hard time with bras causing ugly indents that you can see through shirts. It drives me nuts. I have found a victoria secret bra that has wide & thick shoulder straps that are comfortable, but still cause the indents in shirts.

Doesn't it also drive you mad how limited the selection is for anything in the D range?? Even VS doesn't make everything in these sizes. I love the PINK line....they are so cute & look comfy.....but they only go to size C.

I am a 34D, I have problems with getting double boob. Vickis has too new bras that you might like.

I have the second bra in 2 colors & I love it, it's one of the most comfy bras ever & looks great under sheer tees.

I also tried on the new Body bra & it made my boobs look amazing, but there was so much padding & wires that it dug into my ribs & was very uncomfortable to wear.

-All the bras above come in a 34DD

I've always heard that a bra is something you should really pay attention to. I just can't afford the really good bras, so mine usually come from Wal Mart. I do try to make sure they fit correctly, it's not always easy.

I don't know how close to Chicago you are but Opera has a bra store downtown for women with large breasts. My mom has a few of them and she feels better than she ever has. I'm thinking about traveling that way myself since I am a 34 DD and have nothing but plain, ugly bras from Victorias Secret. Good luck in finding the right bra for you.

You can get wonderbras at Kohls for a really good price. I have the wonder of stretch demi bra, but no padding & it works really well. Very comfortable & flattering & not expensive especially with all the sales.

Thanks for the tip!! My son and I like buying our basketall or walking shoes at Kohls (they last so much longer) so I'll have to check the bras out too.

A good bra is an investment every woman should make, it's not a luxury to have a good fitting bra, but rather a nessesity.

I wear a small B, but i find that a good fitting bra, makes my clothes look a lot better on me

You are so not alone on this! When we got married i had to stuff my bra with "gel chicken breats" to make my dress fit properly

Here are some links for you, i hope they help a bit.

I could careless what it looks like. As long as it makes my 40DD's look small I am all for it. I HATE underwire bras but most of the time I don't have any choice. I was a full B or a padded C before I got pregnant. After I had my daughter I nursed for a good year. So not only did they get even bigger but they took a permanent vacation down south. I will never have perky ones again only the illusion.

I am a newly retired breast feeding mom so I know what your talking about with the perkin them up thing. I wear a 44 B sometimes a C. I recently fell in love with the bras from the Avenue. They have a new style that really holds you up. They are always running sales like buy one get one 1/2 off. Hope this helps.

Hey, ladies, my husband just ask what I was reading & I told him about this thread. He said he'll walk around with you and hold them up for you . He said you can call him Rex the WonderBra. You have to forgive him, poor thing, he's had to settle for 36B's.
