I agree! It's so annoying, I have one cute bra

One thing I hate about Victoria's Secret is that their "fashion" bras (such as the Pink line and all of the really cute fancy ones) don't come in anything above a 38 C. Why can't they make these bras in a D cup? UGH.

The Glamour line has really pretty stuff and it goes up to DD.

It seems like VS has fewer pretty bras, overall. Like in their stores now, it's mostly plain bras (like the Ipex, Body, Angel, Pink etc.) whereas a few years ago, they used to have lots of frilly bras with lace, satin, silk, pearls, rhinestones, etc. They still have frilly bras but now it's only in their Designer Collections which I've only seen in the VS flagship store and not in any of the mall stores.

I'm just going to ignore the superweird bump and tell all my fellow Wacoal lovers that lately Macy's has had tons of Wacoal on sale or clearance. Also Nordstrom Rack has it very inexpensively (like $15.99 or so) if you have one of those near you.

My cousin get bras from Lane Bryant and she likes them.

The best non VS bras I found are at Kohl's, and JC Penny's. Fredrick's of Hollywood do have "some" nice bras for everyday. If you are on the plus side, try Lane Bryant.

Okay, what if you've found the ideal bra for you - perfect in every way - and they discontinue it? I love, love, love Vanity Fair's My Satin Fantasy, but they're becoming harder and harder to find. :(

ebay might be a good place to try to get them if they're discontinued.

I am sorry honeychile:( a good bra is hard to find!!

I definitely want to try Wacoal, then. Has anyone tried the Bra-leluia from Spanx? I have a couple and feel kind of eh about them. They're a little strange. Made from hosiery, no closures, just pull it over your head... but they are pretty comfortable.

I am a big fan of Calvin Klein bras, especially the Perfectly Fit Tech Bonded Underwire Bra. It feels like you aren't wearing anything but have great support. However, there is nothing between you and the cold. I also like VS Secret Embrace. It has more coverage and good support. I only wish it came in my size (32C)!

nikki1920 01-22-2008 12:53 PM

It's always good to get measured (I found out I had dropped a size, :( )/

I've heard: Lane Bryant, Nordstroms, Macys, Balis, VS online, Fredricks are good for larger chested ladies.

I'm still smarting over my 34C. :(

ktbug10474 01-22-2008 01:07 PM

scandia ... i'm the same size as you (36c) and i have no problem finding bras that are cute/comfortable.

Kohls' has some cute bras that dont have two rows of hooks but it is a double hook.
um duh Vicky's has some but they are on the expensive side... the best time to shop at vicky's if you're not looking to spend a ton of money is the sales.. especially the semi annual sale ( i went the first day this year and i got 10 bras for about $200 that's $20 a bra... which is a great deal esp @ VS)

but yes 1908 i agree with you a good bra is extremely hard to find and it's like once you find it . they discontinue it :-(
