Victoria for me too! VS cotton unlined full coverage. They go on sale for as little as $10 each. I order 5 or 6 when they are cheap and no shipping, send them to a relative in the states and go visit!

I had to try on and return a few times but now I know what fits beautifully. And they have a fabulous array of colours with matching panties.

Just saw a TV ad for tape that holds your bust up, no bra needed.
Anyone try this yet?
kind of looked like a great idea.

Nordstrom.

Try their sale rack. That's the only place I buy bras. I'm a 32/34 DDD and I have lots of pretty bras!

Lots of bra talk today! As discussed on another thread, go to a store that has a bra fitter. It's a free service and a properly fitting bra will last longer and feel far more comfortable.

If you are modest take/wear a tank top for the fitting. I sometimes check discount stores for name brands after I already know my proper size for that manufacturer but usually I just wait for sales.

If you have C cup or smaller at this point, you can get good bras, that are also fun at H&M.

H&M bras will be super cheap as well, it just depends on whether you have that available where you live, though they may be available online.

When I was thinner I used these all the time, boobs larger than a full B cup will just flop over. They had these at TJ MAXX last week for really cheap, my DIL got 5 boxes.

They also had that other (as seen on TV) rubbery thing that you glue to your boobs and thne hook the two sides together to get cleavage. It was 12 bucks and DIL got one of those as well. She wore it on a hot day and tells me that they made her boobs sweat and itch and on top of that the sweaty glue stained the top she was wearing.

Target has a pretty big selection of inexpensive bras. I don't know what cup size you are, but if you're a C or bigger, you could probably still do my current favorite... the Self-expressions Lilyette ($14.99), which has a ton of lift.
