The bras I no longer wear weren't even painful or funny looking. I figured that's just how my breasts looked. Then I got sized, and it was completely different -- I have to remember to do that more often.
Also, a number of women wear their bras wrong -- the placement of the bands, etc.
So unless I've got 4 hours to spend finding a bra that fits, I get frustrated and leave empty handed.
Which is why I'll rarely switch brands without help. The lady at Nordstroms took my measurements and said "You look like a Wacoal." And she was right. There is no size/style of VS that fits the me of right now the way the Wacoals do.

Okay, this is true. I reserve a good stretch of afternoon for it, try on 20 bras, find the One True Bra of that trip, and buy like 5 of it. Sales are our friends that way.

Same here. I've been a Bali loyalist for some time. Wacoal would tempt me, except for the part where they are zillions of dollars apiece.
Why is there nothing like Nordstroms out here? Bah.
I also realize that I am very cheap about bras, but come on! There's hardly anything there, what the scary VS lady said nothwithstanding. (I think I typed that word yesterday, too. Weird.)
There's a Nordstroms in Providence, of all places
I think Providence is too far to go for good customer service.
What about Paramus or White Plains? They have them there too.
I think the point that a $50 top and a $20 bra don't look as good as a $50 bra and a $20 top is an interesting one.
Caught up in the fever, I bought a sports bra in my actual size, and lo! My breasts look so much better! Even though it's also a very good bra on the sports side, however, good looking boobies isn't a requirement during exercise for me, so it'll be forever (and a million dollars, thanks Ms Karan) before I'd bother replacing all my existing ones.
Oooh. I could visit the Paramus one when I'm at my Mom's.

Hmm. It seems unlikely, but you never know.
Paramus is closed on Sundays.
