I cam across your blog while searching for shapewear. I found this item online, it is a little pricey but looks like its a bit more than what spanx gives you. I wonder how it works.

I’ve got a set of double Ds, so I probably understand more than most how uncomfortable bras can be. I’ve tried so many types of bras and it’s frustrating, because I have a big cup size, but a thinner torso, and it’s so very hard to find a 36DD.
Any suggestions for brands?

DyaDya, yes it’s important to have a proper foundation. Wearing a bra now will slow down your “droop” as you get older.

When you have a chance, go to your local department store or google “bra fitter” for your area. Most do not charge a fee to fit you. Even if you can’t afford what they offer, you can get the free advice and go to a place that is in your budget.

Jan. was the month for the Semi-Annual Bra sales, so you may still find a few sales out there. That’s just when most of the industry puts their intimates on sale. They do it again in October. But individual stores have sales in throught the year.
Good Luck and let us know how it works out.

Well, I never knew that there were professional bra fitters out there. Yes yes I know. – nodds while you look at the post with shocked faces- lol.

But I never thought I really needed a bra because my chi chi’s aren’t very well… big. Not small. c cup. But I wear a bra sometimes but I really really hate to wear one because of how uncomfortable they are so… yea ><.

Maybe I need a new bra?
idk.

Calliope, I forgot all about this brand at Target. Thanks for the reminder!

Miss Norty, I haven’t heard of Rigby & Peller, thanks for passing it along. They certainly have some beautiful things.

The Queen wears them you say? It brings a new meaning to Fancy Pants.

The Queen gets hers from Rigby & Peller, which charge around $90 – if they’re good enough for her, they’re good enough for me! $200 – you’re kidding me girl!

I swear, SPANX are the best invention for women’s behinds since the elliptical machine!!

Here is a tip: if you can’t afford SPANX, go to Target. Sara Blakely, the creator of SPANX, did an exclusive line of products called (funny) ASSETS that are nearly the same thing for a lot less money:

I think $200 for a bra is outrageous!!! Wear whatever is comfortable and is the correct size. Size being the most important thing.
