So the last bra I bought was a 40DDD at Lane Bryant which was still too small and painful on my sides to wear for more than 2 hours.  Since surgery, thes are my 2 bras of choice. Actually they are my only two bras. Well, lately, I've noticed that these bra are getting too big and is no longer holding the girls upright.

I get remeasured at Lane bryant today....the girl says I am a 34F. I said an "F"...34. Is F after DDD. She said honey we only go to 38, you might want to try Victoria Secret. I laughed the whole way there. A 34F sounds kind of freakish....like a exotic dancer. 

In the end I went to a place called Soma at Valleyfair. I highly recommend it.  Victoria Secret can not hold my girls for **** and I can not stand those shell cup bras.

In the end, I settled on a 36DDD was a good fit for the extra skin on my sides that one needs to take into consideration.

P.S. the girls are happy and upright

Haha, Lane Bryant is the only place I can find awesome bras right now, and I am going to be so sad when I am out of them. I went from a 42DDD to a 38F, and their luxury lace balconette bras keep them high and in charge, and I love it. I have to order them online since the store doesn't carry them (and your saleslady was wrong, they go down to a 36, but you have to buy online.

I tried on a bunch of bras at other stores recently and everything left them low and sad :(
