dawgfan 0 Posted January 3, 2008 Georgia Girl I'm in the same boat as you. I need to buy new bras too, but just HATE to shop for them. I'm in the last hook of mine and they still are loose. Goin to the mall this weekend, UGH!!!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
georgia girl 35 Posted January 4, 2008 Thanks everyone for all the replies. I keep all this in mind as a shop. I will get a good bra fitting because I haven't had one in years. I'll probably check out Lane Bryant and MAYBE I'll try on an underwire bra again. I have an underwire bra that I tried on a few days ago and it did not fit at all........maybe it's the wrong size....I dunno, but we'll see. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sula 0 Posted January 4, 2008 How about oprah.com and her bra shop? She had done a bunch of shows on bra fitting and has bras for those of us who are generously endowed. Chantelle, Prima Dona, Ibra, and Freya Tallula are some that she has recommended. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cgailee 1 Posted January 4, 2008 Try JCPenny. I am the same size as you and they have our size in stock and often have 2 for one sales. They have tons that are not underwire. Good luck with your girls. My husband calls my bras "Over the shoulder boulder holders" ha ha. Just a little funny for serious buisness. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mbanja 1 Posted January 4, 2008 Well, ladies I am surprised no one has posted this one since Spanx are a bandster must have! Spanx has come out with a new bra it is not on the market yet, but it comes out on Jan 8th I think, for sure in Jan. It is made from hose material and has a front clasp no underwire and is supposed to be super comfortable and supportive. They already make one that is like a sports bra it is about $35. The new one is going to be about $60. I know this is kinda pricy but it looks as if it will illiminate the shoulder strap indention. Plus it is supposed to minimize back fat and side boob fat! I can't wait I have already preorder one!! If you are a fan of Spanx check it out on their website!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
twiggyinhiding 0 Posted January 4, 2008 i have a problem with front closure bra's...my girls look like a big tube of boobs in them lol.....but i'd love something to get rid of the dents in my shoulders...god they need a break!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daisalana 33 Posted January 4, 2008 Overall I don't like LB, but I only get my bras & panties there. They will fit you if you ask.. (I hate doing this personally, I'm so tall and they're normally in the girl's face and.. bah). But like I said, since losing weight, first time in my life underwire is not uncomfortable. And making sure you get the right size is important! Maybe it's enell? Someone mentioned on the exercise thread a good sports bra, I went ahead and ordered one and I have to say it IS the best sports bra I ever had. I wouldn't wear it normally (it makes my boobs disappear), but for exercising it is a life saver, and when I have it on my back instantly feels like I don't have boobs pulling me down. I do have some non-underwire bras, and they're now as comfortable as my normal bras.. but they've never been able to make me perky, no matter what size I get or how tight I make them.

mbanja 1 Posted January 4, 2008 I've never like front closure bras either, my boobs are not big, but if I bent a certain way the thing would pop open. Check out the Spanx web site, take a look at their bras. Personally I think it would feel wonderful having supportive hose material holding up my girls. Plus, I seriously need help with the backfat! When I get my bra I will be sure to give ya'll a review of it!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
georgia girl 35 Posted January 4, 2008 I have a lot of side boob fat. The underwire seems to dig into the side fat. I'll definitely check out that new Spanx bra and the enell sports bra. I need a new sports bra that will hold em down good. Thanks everyone! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PigsRFlying 0 Posted January 5, 2008 I HATE the side fat! I worry that it will still be here at 135! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
georgia girl 35 Posted January 5, 2008 I can't believe I'm about to say this...........I actually bought an underwire bra tonight at Walmart. I told everyone that I hated underwire, but I guess since I've lost weight, they don't hurt so bad. It's a curvation bra size 44DD. I'm still going shopping next Wednesday for another one, but I honestly couldn't wait until then to buy one. The one I was wearing was in terrible shape, it only had one hook that wasn't broken. I'm going for a fill next Wednesday and there is a mall in that town, so keep the ideas coming. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
snowbird 2 Posted January 5, 2008 My daughter had a real problem after she lost about 80 lb--one side was way smaller than the other. Now THAT made bra fitting interesting. She's evened up now, thank goodness. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
