    I need good bra...

    I think I have finally had it with the boob comments. I have had so many people comment that I have lost a lot of my boobs. Well duh!! Like I really need anyone to tell me this... Today was the last straw...my daughter just wrote to me on Facebook and said I need to find a good push up bra cause I hardly have any boobs left. I know she means well, but it's making me self conscious again. so, does any of you ladies know where I can buy a good "push up" bra??? I started out at a 44D...I have no idea what size I am now.

    I would go to Nordstrom or Victoria's Secret get properly fitted, but 1 or 2 that I really *love,*
    then come home and try to find them on eBay!

    Hey Teresa, I just returned from visiting your link. =)  I had no idea Lane Bryant had such pretty bras.  (I looked at all of them while I was there.) I haven't cared enough about myself to go shopping for a bra or anything else but...I feel a change coming on!  =)
    YOU GO GIRL!

    LOL...yes, the boob droop is a terrible thing.

    I find that Bali Satin Tracings work on me.  They LIFT me, and don't dig into my shoulders. 
    PLEASE !!! GO to Victoria's Secret!!!! I went and was sooo excited and surprised to be in a 36DD.  The ones I liked were the Incredible and the Body by Victoria Perfect Coverage bras.  It was a little NSV for me!

                  
     

     

    Going to Victoria is definitely a goal but I am soooo not there yet, Butterfly!
    I shocked myself.  My panties and bras were a little less supportive than they once were, AND I had a coupon.  LOL I figured what they hay, I'll be able to wear them soon anyway if not today.  I enjoyed my trip for sure! LOL

                  
     

     

    I just went to Victoria's Secret last night and bought 8 pairs of PINK underwear....get this....SIZE MEDIUM!!! I almost died!! Before my surgery I couldn't even fit into their PINK line of underwear. And now today I am rocking a size Medium! If I could wear 'em on the outside I would that's how proud I am of myself! LMBO!

    BTW, they are having a sale on PINK underwear til the 27th, 7 pairs for $25 and if you are a part of their 'PINK Nation' it's 8 pairs for $25...can't beat that!

    I have lost 135 pounds.

    Bra was 48DD on surgery day.

    Now a very sad, droopy and long, 40D.

    All bras have been tossed in the garbage and replaced with Bali, style Number 3353.

    Absolutely the best I have ever found.

    Check it out. I buy them at Kohls, JCP, Macys...where ever they are on sale.

    I absolutely love the Bali bras (almost all of them) and you can always find them on sale or clearance at Kohls or JCP. I have'nt tried the VS Incredible but I hear that they're great too. VS bras may be more expensive than Bali's. Good luck!
    Hi Lisa, I live in Canada we have a store calles La Senza (you can order online),  I think it's comparable to your Victoria Secret. Well they have just come out with the most amazing bra, it's called double your bra size!!  It is amazing!!  I was recieving the same comments as you, I became very insecure, with this bra I am the only one that knows exactley how small they really are :)
    I started out as a 48DDD

    I went to the Playtex, Bali Hanes Factory Outlets (they have them all over out here) and got fitted and CRIED at  36DDD...

    Bali makes a GREAT bra www.herroom.com/bali-3227-natural-uplift--innovation-underwi re-bra.shtml


    OMG I have NO breast tissue left... just sacks of 50 year old skin that have nursed 2 babies... and with these I have shape AND  they are insanely comfortable.

    I too, love the Bali bras.  I went to JCP and they fitted me for the correct bra.  I bought 4 that day, love them!  Since you have lost so much weight I do not believe that Lane Bryant would have one to fit you now.

    Good Luck on your BRA hunt.  My husband was so happy when I got the right fit.

    Soma Intimates!! It's a fabulous store run by the same company as Chico's.  They are not in every state so you would have to check their website for locations.  They sell great quality bras, about the same price as Victoria's Secret, however, they carry a far wider range of sizes.  For example I can get a 34DDD there which wouldn't be even remotely possible at Victoria's Secret.  They actually go into the fitting room with you and fit you properly, help you into the bras if you need (or want) it, I'm not insecure about that so I love the help. They will adjust all the straps, make sure the bra is looking right and if not bring in another size or a different style.  I love, love, love them and don't know how I ever survived without them.  Victoria's Secret just cannot contain my boob (and probably more accurately the extra skin that has to folded into the bra)!

    I went from a 40 D (Lane Bryant) to a 32 D at Victoria Secrets.   The best thing I could recommend is going to Victoria Secrets and get fitted.  I just did and loved it! I have no boobs anymore, they are saggy and need work so I was surprised to find out I still am considered a D.   I also can't believe how much a great bra costs, but it is worth it.  I spent 50 on their push-up bra and I love it.  Comfortable and make my boobs look great in all kinds of clothes.  Sometimes you have to pay for quality.
