You have been wearing the WRONG BRAS and you must wear these VERY EXPENSIVE ONES!" like $70 expensive.

I have the LB bra (I'm wearing it right now, as a matter of fact) It's good, not quite as good as the $70 type (Wacoal, I expect). I wait for the Nordstrom sales and see if they have any (which is how I found the first one I bought)

I would totally wear Jill Scott bras! Too bad I don't wear larger sizes...

lisah - here are some nice ones in your size.

Wait, where??!!

It's good, not quite as good as the $70 type (Wacoal, I expect).

I've been wearing Wacoal for years. But their bras in the $40 range only go up to DD. Most of the $70 ones were Wacoal (as is the $60 super industrial one I bought) but I did try one that I can't remember the brand that was really pretty. But totally impractical for that kind of money.

I'll have to check the Rack (hardyhar) more often for sales.

lisah - I added the link. I am dumbass.

They also said the reason most women wear the wrong size is that when they get to the point where they are regularly buying their bras themselves, they just stick with the size they've always been. Also, that getting fitted can be embarassing, and that to admit to yourself you're something as large as you would only think a porn star would be requires some...psychological adjustment.

lisah - I'll check w/ him... he texted about the right time that he was headed out, but he also had house full of sick this weekend.

I love the Towson Nordstroms bra ladies, though I hated the name of the bra they sold me. and the mashing. and the fact that DH wanted to make a band solely to be able to name it after the name of the bra they sold me. I miss the pre-baby 34-B/C days... and yes, mom, I know that she's not a baby anymore...

Once you have the Nordie's lady do the fitting, though, you can scout places like Filene's or TJ Maxx for the actual bras. I've found a ton of the pricy Wacoals for $15 - $25. As with everything at those stores, you can't need it today but if you drop by every so often they'll pop up.

Thanks, non-dumbassed at all Aimée! Ah! as I suspected, Goddess does actually make bras in my size but they just don't sell them on the Lane Bryant website.

I'm taking a girlfriend of mine to get measured. I've been told she tries her bras on over a tshirt.

Huh? Why? that's so crazy!!!

The one who fitted me yesterday has been there for years. Usually I like her but she was getting on my nerves. Possibly I hadn't had enough coffee.

I always thought that whole "[Massive percentage] of women are wearing the wrong size" is a total crock. Not only is it a stat that's completely within the self-interest of the group trying to sell it to you, but it's far better than chance that you're buying the wrong bra? Really? Like 70% of us can't tell that our boobs are popping out? How did we all get shit at making TWO MEASUREMENTS?

Of course, I admit I am not part of the group that really needs a good bra.

This is a good plan. Now that I work in the city though I never have time to get out to the discount stores (which are mostly in the suburbs here). I should put some of my discount shopping friends on it though!
