For the girls: bra talk

[blackngoldengrl]

I have to say, a few of the VS bras I have really have held up. I'm too lazy to handwash them, but I do drip dry. Maybe it's the style that I got-nothing fancy, b/c I'm not paying that much just for a basic everyday bra. Then again a few I have seem to have lost their cup shape. It's like I've lost weight and now there is too much room in them, so the cup isn't full. You know? Anyway, I'll be checking out your suggestions.

For the 32 DDs out there-it is a hard size to find, so if you find it, buy 5! If you have the time to look, TJ Maxx has some good ones. Oh and for sports bras (D or DD), I recommend Champion. You can find them on sale at a dept. store like Macys.

I think VS bras stretch out more than others. They completely lose their shape like you said. I used to only buy VS until I discovered that there are other bras that are like $10 more but hold up a lot better.

I completely agree with that.

And this thread has been SO helpful to me. Thank you all for your suggestions!

Thanks for the Bare Necessities suggestion! They even tell you how many hooks run down the back (which is a big deal to me b/c I don't want it to look like I'm wearing armor!!)

You're welcome - I think the last 10 bras I bought were from there. And, they let you know when the sales are good.
