Branching off another subject that was about sports bras; Where do you large breasted ladies buy your every day bras?

I am so tired of granny bras being the only option that's reasonable. I get my GOOD ones at Lane Bryant, but it's about $40 for ONE good, cute bra! Any other options out there? Especially ones with good support, since the weight loss has made my breasts age like 10 years :(

    I order online because it's tricky finding my size in stores. My best sports bra is a Shock Absorber (~$65). I had a fitting done at a bra store near me (www.myintimacy.com - not sure if you're in the US or not) and found that my bra size is not what I thought it was - like a lot of women! It's worth having someone fit you at a good bra shop if you can.

    I dont know if this store is country wide but in Missouri we have Ann's Bra Shop where they fit you and bring the sizes and styles you like to your fitting room(my type of shopping!!!) They go up to God knows what size!! If ZZ was an option theyd go up to it. Google it, they may have one in your area.

    I go to specialized stores for my bras. Its very hard to find my size in regular stores, and sadly they cost around 100 bucks. But specialized stores always have them. Don't know if they are franchised but The Cats Pyjamas is awesome.

    $40 is not expensive for a good bra, no matter what size you are.

    It is www.jms.com I have been shopping that site for years. Great clothes, I love that they carry Champion brand work out clothes.

    Mine are usually around $60 from Nordstroms. Only department stores carry the size I need. I buy Fantasie and Chantelle since they have the best fit. I have to buy specialty bras because I have a very small band size compared to the cup size. (32E)

    I did get a professional fitting. Best thing I ever did!

    Fashion Bug has really pretty & sexy bras as well as nice sport-type ones. It's great when you can catch one of their "Buy 2, Get 1 Free" sales. Their prices are very reasonable, too. If you don't have a store near you, they're also online. Good luck! :)

    I do not know from where you hale, but I went for a professional bra fitting. At a store that is specific to bra's (Barbara's in Indianapolis). Actually, my daughter gave me the fitting and bras as a gift because she was sooooooo pleased. I commented on her figure one day (6 months ago) and she said no she had not lost weight, just lifted. It was and is amazing. Now, my tip for you, is. Purchase the bra and wear it for a while. I had always felt like I had one big one. Now I actually have two breasts. They did lift and separate, it is fantastic. If you like the bra, either wait for a sale or purchase additional ones on line. I do not live in Indiana and the closet major retail area to me is 45 - 60 minutes away. I do lots of shopping on line. So once I had all the information, I looked for the best buy. One of the best purchases I have ever made is a great fitting bra. I stand up straighter, I look slimmer, and I feel better about my appearance. Take care.
