Let's talk bras-Updated

[kellsbelles]

I've been a Victoria's Secret bra girl forever but after the last couple basically fell apart I'm ready to move on. Where do you get your bras from? I don't need super frilly sexy ones but want something still nice quality and a wear everyday under a t shirt seamless type. Thanks

Update: Thank you all who recommended Soma! I went into their store and walked out with 3 new perfectly fitting bras. The enhancing shape and embraceable were the 2 varieties I got. I also picked up a couple pairs of undies that are the vanishing edge and they really do offer no VPL with tons of comfort. Their pjs are also super soft and cute. I think I found my new go to store for intimates.

I hate vs bras. I like Chantelle and Freya bras. I got fitted at nordstrom but now order them online at herroom.com or barenecessities.com.

Thanks for the recs! I've heard good things about a Nordstrom fitting maybe I'll try there get my correct size and check out that brand too.

Most of the ones I currently wear I got at Marks & Spencer in London or I ordered them online.

When I need to replace them there are a few at Soma that I plan on buying. I am a weird size and they carry my size.

I have mostly Cleo by Panache, Freya, and Chantelle.....I order them from barenecessities . com

Here is THE VIDEO that has floated around here for a few years. I watched it and sized myself and was amazed at the difference (from what I was previously wearing).

I forgot about that thank you! I know for sure my measurements are way off especially since having my son.

I went to Soma during Christmas to pick up some new panties and happened to see a sales rack of bras. I ended up walking out with three of them. I feel like I finally have boobs. And while I'm not a huge fan of granny panties, sometimes they're a necessary evil and Soma's granny panties actually stay in place and don't start creeping up my ass like VS panties have in the past. I will never buy anything from VS ever again.

ETA:  This is one bra I got and it's on sale for $13.99
And no underwires.  No more wire bras!!!

Soma is great!

[bugmeetsworld]

I love my Natori Feathers Bra. I also found this bra by Blush on the sale rack at Anthropologie and it is one of my new favorites.

+1 to Soma - I really love their stuff!

[mrssandro]

I have tried so many bras but the only type that fit me well are Wacoal. I got fitted at Nordstorm.

[scout8]

Another Soma fan here. The bras I have from them have held up so well.

[luckyno7]

I always go to Nordstrom because like every other piece of clothing, each bar fits just a little bit different. They are so good at knowing their bra brands, and finding the perfect fit for you. It's a little awkward at first because they come into the fitting room with you, but it's worth getting a bra that fits amazing!

Thank you! I have nothing to lose for $10 I appreciate it.

Soma is okay, they hold up well and make you look good but I don't think they are the most comfortable.

The best bra ever, hands down, is Wacoal Basic Beauty. Not sure of your size but I am a DD and this comes in full figure (and regular sizes) and is the most comfortable, soft and best fitting bra. Someone on GBCN recommended it and I've never looked back. Plus it is on sale once a year at the Nordstrom anniversary sale.

As for a fitting to determine your size, I don't think Nordstrom is the best but Soma got it right for me.

This! I picked out 3 that I liked & have since ordered when I can find them on sale.

Does Soma do bra fittings? I need to be fitted! Between breast feeding and losing weight I'm a hot mess in the bra department.

They do!  And like I posted above, Soma did a much better job fitting me than Nordstrom did.

Oops I did read that you got fitted there.
