I have gone to a specialty shop and they used a measuring tape...but I don't think they did a very good job. They still had to go out and pick different sizes until I found one that fit...<br /><br />I will have to check out Lane Bryant. See if there is something that could help me out!!<br /><br />I also agree that someone needs to come up with some kind of economical "middle of the alphabet" size bras...there is a HUGE (no pun intended;-) market out there for that!!<br /><br />And it is good to know that no matter what the size...everyone has bra issues!! <br /><br />I am glad I brought up this topic:-) I need to do another post on the wire bra that I ended up with...it is kind of a pain in the side!!<br /><br />Thanks for the fun comments, and the encouragement:)momsmusingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05298669293810542456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20895358.post-89057145514372967442010-10-26T10:25:47.937-04:002010-10-26T10:25:47.937-04:00did you go to a specialty store? i've yet to f...did you go to a specialty store? i've yet to find a place that knows how to measure the ladies properly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20895358.post-18703025854540369452010-10-26T01:38:45.392-04:002010-10-26T01:38:45.392-04:00Have you guys tried Lane Bryant?

I have found that Lane Bryant has some good bras for a decent price, even better when they have their good sales.NerdMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07224456651971222203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20895358.post-80108423501441648612010-10-24T21:08:09.330-04:002010-10-24T21:08:09.330-04:00I'm either an A minus, or when I'm nursing...I'm either an A minus, or when I'm nursing, I'm between A plus and B minus. Not a full B, not a full A. Just an 'almost'.<br /><br />My biggest complaint is I just don't like wearing bras with saggy cups! I don't talk about it much though, because I have heard other more endowed women talk about how tough it is to be large, and I hear their frustration.<br /><br />I always felt like wearing padded bras was telling a lie and it was many many years before I even bought a padded bra.<br /><br />I have officially let go of my hesitations towards padded bras over the past couple of years.<br /><br />Right now I own 3 bras that fit. They're all padded. If it's not padded, it sags! That's all there is to it.<br /><br />As an aside, I no longer own any bras with underwire. I think underwire is stupid because I don't have enough to hold it in place which is just annoying.Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11416595963264511241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20895358.post-21724461636141133192010-10-24T19:50:54.057-04:002010-10-24T19:50:54.057-04:00From the opposite end of the spectrum...a well pad...From the opposite end of the spectrum...a well padded bra can boast your confidence. ;-)Cherihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17239601805710235646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20895358.post-54435091706661331772010-10-22T12:58:54.053-04:002010-10-22T12:58:54.053-04:00AMEN RUTH!!

SO....I have 1 bra - it cost me about $75. I wear it all week long, and then wash it overnight. Yep, it's an investment, but totally worth the cost. I'll never go back to department store bras again.Sarahttp://sarasantos.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20895358.post-74316649148332294822010-10-22T10:07:42.510-04:002010-10-22T10:07:42.510-04:00Remember when we were kids and the trouble was tha...Remember when we were kids and the trouble was that we were too flat and HADN'T started growing breasts as yet? <br /><br />I too miss the days when the ladies stood up on their own. I nursed my son for four years because, with his many gastrointestinal issues, it was one of the few things his stomach would tolerate. Needless to say, my boobies were just never the same.<br /><br />My little sister, who is now 22, has extremely large breasts also. Her problem is that she had such a tiny waist and then the extra large ladies. She resorted to wearing two bras at once for years, just to hold herself in. I finally took her to a specialty shop a few years ago and offered to buy her a good bra that would hold the ladies in. Don't remember the exact size, but it was a letter somewhere in the middle of the alphabet one would not normally associate with bras.<br /><br />Someone needs to develop a more economical line of supportive, larger bras. I know there would be many grateful, happy women out there. Enjoy your new bras!Judithnoreply@blogger.com
