Bra problems :(

[Tori M.]

My favorite black underwire bra does not fit anymore.. it keeps riding up..
not verry comfortable. *sigh* Not that it really fit to begin with I am
supposed to wear a 44 F and it was only a 44DD I am thinking I need to get a
good bra that FITS but where would I go to get measured and fitted with a
good bra? It is income tax time so money is only slightly a factor.. I
would never spend more then say 20$ for a bra unless it was verry
impressive.
I am going to be going to the Mall of America in the next few weeks so that
means we may go to Lane Bryant. I would like some new "Nice cloths" and I
really hope they have some good deals going on.

JC Penney does fittings and they often have cheaper bras than Victoria's
Secret or something. I have to say though, if I was a 44F or anything like
that, I might be willing to fork out some money for some good bras with good
support that would last me.

I think Lane Bryant is an excellent place to look for a bra, but I'm not so
sure you'll find one for $20. Do you get coupons from them? Hopefully you
will find a sale. I know money is tight, but a good bra isn't going to be
cheap and considering how often you wear it, it will pay for itself! :)

A large department store or a specialty retailer. Naturally, you will pay
more for the bra, but if it gets you the proper size, you will save in the
long run.

The changing bra size is one of the annoying things about pregnancy!

Check out http://www.bravadodesigns.com/. I know of stores that carry
them too (in Toronto and Ottawa) but i'm not sure where you are. The
bras are under $40 CDN and go up to a very generous size in nursing and
non-nursing.

Tori they also ship to the US!

I was a 36F-G for a year after giving birth (normally a 36D), and after
having no luck with local department stores, I ordered bras from
www.motherwear.com. They carry a wide range of sizes, and although
they're all nursing bras, they're great when not nursing too. Not
cheap, at all, but I ordered a whole bunch, simply sent back whatever
didn't fit (they have a no-hassle return policy), and they're all in
good enough shape to wear with #2. Meanwhile, the bras I bought at
Thyme Maternity here in Canada are trashed.

Good luck!

Although I'm 'only' a 36DD when I'm not pg or nursing, I still would highly
recommend spending as much as necessary on a few good bras and then take
good care of them (wash them in a mesh bag in the washer and hang to dry).
You will be so much more comfortable and your girls will look much better
under clothing. My nursing bras (Medela) were $40 apiece but they looked
alright under clothes and were comfortable. My regular bras are by Olga,
that tends to make larger sizes that are still pretty.

If you can find a bra specialty store in your area, go in and get fitted and
treat yourself to one great bra. Then use the information to buy other, less
expensive bras at Lane Bryant, Target (which has great bigger bras) or other
less expensive stores. Remember to always try them on too, I have bras that
fit me ranging from 34D to 38DD depending on the make.

Good luck. Bra shopping is almost as nasty as jeans shopping.

there is a place here in the local mall that is a platex outlet store
you could try there they do fittings and I've been able to find things
for very very cheap for myself.
