Where do you buy your bras?

[Tessa LeTaunt {★}]

This one's for the ladies.
Where do you girlies shop for your, *ahem*, "boulder holders"? I'm talkin' for everyday wear and comfort, rather than for tantalizing one-time-use photo shoot-type vintage negligees.

I LOVE the Body bras by Victoria's Secret.

I literally have one in every color, although they no longer fit. (Thanks, pregnancy!)
I'm hoping to seek out where I can buy inexpensive bras for tiny gals with big hooters. I'm seriously pushing 32DDD (Again-thanks, pregnancy!), and I really don't want to blow a ton of money on bras that I'll probably only be wearing for as long as I'll be breast feeding. It's SO hard to find bras in my size, too, though! I suppose that's why I liked my Victoria's bras so much; they're the only ones that even carried the size I needed.

So where do you ladies buy your bras, no matter the size? Any specific brands or styles?

[Tessa LeTaunt {★}]

I know! Which is what sucks most and is causing me to have to look elsewhere.

Victoria secret doesn't carry DDD

The only VS bras I was able to wear, were the Body ones. They go up to 32DD, and were soooo comfy!
I will most def. be checking out Frederick's. I live in the States, but I don't live anywhere near one, oddly. I used to, though, and loved that place! I've forgotten all about them!

I have a hard time finding a good fitting bra also, I'm 32D/32DD. I' surprised to hear you say you get your bras from VS! I have NEVER found a bra that fit me there!!! I have bought a few that came close, and was always disappointed with them down the line

My new favorite bra is from Frederick's of Hollywood. It's called Smooth Sensation and they have stopped carrying them in stores (the sales lady said she doesn't understand why, since it's their second-top-selling bra!), but are still available online. They fit great and don't stretch out too easily! I wash mine the the washing machine (of course no dryer though), and they're still in tip-top shape! They have removable padding (I removed and tossed those immediately, lol), a satiny sheen, and are still comfy and practical offering plenty of support, without being a granny bra. I have 3 different colored ones and wear them daily. Serious heart!

YeahIts bad when youre big busted and small around! I was a 32 DDD! It is terrible! Definitly figleaves.com its easy to search through too! And they have swimwear by bra size

Holy jugs!! I've got smaller boobs, thankfully?!

I'm as average as can be, 34B, so luckily it's not hard to find bras that fit, it's harder for me to find ones I like the look, feel and price of. I like to buy mine from La Senza, they've got some rad stuff and the sales are amazing. Their "Beyond Cleavage" line is definitely helpful for ladies not so blessed in the chest. Kinda pricey at $43 each but nice to buy on sale.

I've also got a few $15 WalMart specials that are adequate, not the sexiest I own but they get the job done.

I got a nice smooth cup bra from Kohl's the other day for around$25 in a 38ddd its currently the only bra I own. So I'm glad you posted this question. I've been wondering where to look myself.

You can get upto a 42H in some bras at Ann Summers so head there because some of them can be quite cheap especially in the sale (trust me I work in an Ann Summers store and know my bras) hope that helps for you Betty

Haha, be thankful its just during pregnancy. I get treated like a freak when i go bra shopping. 36GG (almost a H), not easy to find at the best of times!
I usually suffer with M&S, if I'm feeling flush then Bravissimo. My cheapest bra is £25
In fact thinking about it I only own 4 bras. 2 comfortable ones, one that is mega uncomfortable and a servicable strapless.
They need to make more larger sized over the shoulder boulder holders. an more smaller sizes for the itty bitty titty club too

I finally found bare necessities and they carry pretty bras in all sizes and price ranges. I'm a 34DDD, and don't want a huge boulder holder that makes me feel like I'm in some sort of bra body cast so I go with the Whimsy/Lunaire, Felina and Chantelle brands. I just got a Victoria Secret catalog and they now have one bra style in a DDD size. I will try that one next time.

[Mariah June]

I get mine from Victoria's Secret. I'm a 34D and apparently thats an odd size to have cause I can never find any bras in that size anywhere else (except Walmart but their bra straps stretch out and loosen too quickly for me). However, I've recently discovered that I can fit pretty well into a 36C also, so that helps out when I'm looking for bras.
My concern is how its really hard to find a cute bra above a C cup anywhere except for Victoria's Secret. ;[

[Honey B Hooligan {Madam}]

I have that line in nearly EVERY color. They're SO comfortable.

I adore Victoria's Secret, especially since after having my kids, and weight loss, I can now wear smaller than a DDD (38DD woohoo!) They don't always carry my size, but when they do, I buy.

I swear, bra shopping for bigger chests is like watching the stock market. BUY BIG, SELL SMALL! BLAH! lol

That's actually an international bra constant; if you can't find a bra in your band AND cup size, then go up a band size, and DOWN a cup size. It really only works 1 size either way, though. I can comfortably fit in 40D's though those aren't much easier to find than 38 DD LAME

I love Triumph bras, so comfortable and do my strange size 32DD, most high street stores don't do it.

Also a massive Victoria's Secret addict and have a spent a fortune over the years on customs charges! D'oh.
