The bra saga continues. Got the new brown bras yesterday aaaannd . . . they don't fit. The band is too tight and the cups gap wierdly. Plus, they're padded. I hate that. And I asked specifically about the padding and was told that it was only on the sides. Now, the question is, go buy the OTB in black that's $60, or try to find alternative bras tonight? I leave tomorrow.

Go to the place with the OTB, see if they have any alternative bras and, if not, grit your teeth and pay the 60 bucks?

It's Nordstrom, all of the bras will be in that range. If it was the brown one, I wouldn't blink.

vw, your comment about CBD asking for a playdate with Toto reminded me of a line in a Bujold book, about someone being "one of those feral types that leave you asking ' am I crazy? am *I* crazy?' ". It might be unconscious, but it sounds like he's playing games with your brain (and a playdate with your brain is so not a good thing).
Vortex, perhaps you need to bring the boobs of war (cf your tagline) to the place that sent you the bad bras.

There will occasionally be ones on sale there. I'm wearing a GORGIE Wacoal one that I got for 1/2 price there earlier this year. But, yeah, I'm pretty much resigned to paying at least $60 for bras that work for me.

Now tagless for your comfort.
After finding some Wacoals on sale at Loehmann's in San Francisco with javachik, they are my OTB.

So, school-related panic of this morning is fixed. I was able to take another stab at explaining things, and the prof came around. Thank goodness!

To the clueless yahoo who made me late for work because they felt the need to stuff the drive up mail boxes (yes, both of them were jammed) with ALL their holiday cards at once rather than letting slide a few at a time, thus making me have to find a parking space, get out of the car (in the rain) and walk my Netflix DVD inside; Thanks a bunch.
Why are there so many idiots in the world?

Yeah, that's how they got me. I got the first Wacoal on sale for $30 at their annual sale. It's like when the dealer gives the first crack rock for free.

I have, off and on, seen Wacoals at Filene's ... but always in a limited range of sizes and colors.
