What is your favorite bra?

[bikerbob]

I haven't tried them yet but noticed that Leading Lady has a pretty good selection of bras with A cups and large bands.

I haven't shopped at Dillards but I know that my wife has and likes shopping there. I have a couple of local boutiques that I shop and get fitted at. They are both bra fitting specialty shops. They know me, my size, and my bra preferences. It's always a pleasure shopping at either boutique, at least until it's time to pay for my bras. Lol

I know and understand,  I am a cheap skate and hate to pay $50, $60 or more for a bra and will avoid it at all cost.  BUT sometimes it is the only way you can get a bra that fits.

I wish I could get by only paying $50 -60.00 for a bra!
Wouldn't that be great, ABWG's?

Yes it would I haven't spent that much so far but the wife have been finding me leisure bras for $5 dollars at Sears. She pointed one out to me today and I will try it out tonight as a sleep bra.  But still being a 36B (38A) I still have a hard time finding quality bras in my size,  Like I said in another post here in the Tidewater area of South Eastern Virginia the Average size starts at 36C and sky rockets from there.  So You would be happy here finding the bras in your Healthy size.

I know what you mean hammer. The last Freya that I was fitted for, it was exactly what I needed for a bra. I was pleased when I saw it was only $79 , which is a bargain at the boutiques that I bra shop at. 
For me, it is what it is. I know that I can always expect to pay $75-100 for a bra that fits me. But, women with large breasts are there with me also just trying to find a bra that fits and like me, they dont mind paying a gew extra dollars for good service and a great bra. Like ive said before, I've always been treated very well anytime that ive been bra shopping. They ask me my likes and dislikes and make sure that im comfortable through the whole process.

The expensive bras also last too!

I agree Hammer but I have found lightly lined lace bras are great for my small 36B size and I have found some very good ones at Wal-Mart for very little money and they not only feel good but they last too.

It's been about 6 or 7 years since I could wear anything from walmart. I just simply sized out. They have some great bargains as long as your not bigger than a DD. That's when I started going to my boutiques that I shop at. I definitely experienced sticker shock when they brought in bras for me to try. I came to the realization that I was gonna be paying  $75 or more for my bras from now on and make sure that they get washed in a lingerie bag and air dried.

I keep an eye on Walmart's bras (38B), but so far I haven't found any that I like as well as Bali bras. It also seems like WM doesn't carry as many for 38 as they do for the smaller band sizes. I usually get my bras from OneHanesPlace.com, but sometimes I find a great deal on eBay. You just have to be careful to compare the eBay price with places like OHP and Herroom.com to keep from paying too much. I also only buy from sellers who accept returns in case the fit or color aren't right after I try them on.

I have the opposite problem of ABWG,  I can't find a bra in my small sixe at any of the mane brand stores and have no specialty stores in this area.  But I did find out today that I can find bras that seem to fit and take that information to the SA's at Dilliard's  and as long as I order from their on line site they can order it for me and I can pick it up in the store and they get credit for it, That is important to me to maintain our friendly place to buy and try on new bras with the hassle of mailing bras that do not fir back to the retailer  .So what I am saying is the ABWY and Chestyboy may find a new outlet for buying bras your size,

[chestyoldman]

Thank you for the suggestion, Athena12@! I agree that it's important to maintain goodwill with local retailers. I plan to go have a formal fitting done and establish that sort of relationship with a store if my breasts grow any more.

Guys, you have to try Cacique Intimates' Simply Wire Free Lightly Lined T-Shirt Bra. I bought one the other day on a whim, and it is by far the most comfortable bra I've ever worn, hands down!
Instead of a poky, pinchy underwire, it has a firm gel channel for support. You can wear it for hours without even noticing that you have a bra on.
They are $50, but totally worth it, trust me.
For what it's worth, the girl at the store was very helpful and non-judgmental too. When she asked what my size was, I said "I think it's 44B," and she offered to measure me just to make sure I got the right size, and I ended up getting a 42B instead because that's what she suggested. It was my first time getting professionally fitted for a bra because I've always felt like it would be awkward to ask, but she insisted that we get it right. I will definitely be getting more Cacique bras in the future.

That's great!  A bra fitting by a professional is so important. I'm fitted for almost all of my bras. If you need to wear a bra for 16 hours at a time, you want to look and feel your best.

You know what my favorite bra is?  One that fits right!  Doesn't matter what style it is or who makes it, just as long as you are comfortable in it.
