Rec your bra

[isabel]

I've been done nursing for about 2 months now and I think my boobs have finally settled to a normal size. I bought two bras at VS, but the damn straps keep falling off my shoulders. I'm going to return them.

Any specific websites that would be worth trying? I didn't love any of the other bras I tried at VS or I'd just get something else there.

More specifically, I'm a DD and want something lined/shaped with no padding and not full coverage.

Soma. I like the Embraceable Wireless, but it's more full coverage than you may be looking for.

Paramour Sweet Revenge

I literally own like 10 of this same bra in different colors

I like Nordstrom for bras. Do you want plain or pretty?

Very plain.

Ditto the above and add Fantasie and Curvy Kate.

They measured me at VS. Does that count?

Noooooooooooooooope.  If they measured you properly at VS, your bra would fit.

No. They measure super incorrectly.

Go to Soma and get fitted. I like the Balconet there the best. I always had a problem with straps falling off but not with the Soma bras.

I could be wrong, but I don't think it's the fit. The cups feel fine and are comfortable. It's like the straps are really wide set and just keep slipping off. Seems like it's more this style than the size. I could be totally wrong though. Where do I get fitted properly?

I'll answer again.  pandce.proboards.com/thread/193166/bra-thread-bosom
Or Nordstrom would be a great in-person place to start, with a wide variety of sizes, shapes, styles, etc.

Thanks! I looked for this but the search function was being weird.

Yeah, I had to go to google to dig it up and bookmarked it so I'd have it for future reference.  Search here at GBCN isn't the best IME.

I really like Soma bras. I don't remember the names, but the ones I bought are super comfy and fit perfectly.

[jennistarr1]

Natori and I buy it at Nordstrom Rack

[dexteroni]

I love the Chantelle C Magnifique. It's very supportive, and plain but not industrial looking, lol. But definitely get fitted (or diy using the video) and try on a bunch of different brands and styles. What works for any of us might not be what works best for you.

Freaking Soma stopped making my size in most of their styles. Pissed me right the fuck off, and I stopped shopping there. I wear a DDD, no, I don't want padding, or that stupid "fullness" triangle at the top. I want the unlined one, and I want some front hook ones.

Usually when your straps fall its because the band is too large. If you go down a size in the band, you'll go up a size in cups.

I also like Soma bras.
