I just went bra shopping (and will soon be tossing them due to a reduction! Hurrah!). I used to use Lane Bryant, but my weight loss meant that I finally got to a size that they either didn't carry or they did carry but it wasn't comfortable in their provided styles (36/38 DDD/F). I finally found a specialty bra shop about 25 mins away from where I live and they carried quite a variation of sizes and styles.

I think I just plugged "specialty bras" or "specialty lingerie" into google maps, and it gave me a number of locations. You could try that for your location, though I'd make sure to check out the store websites before visiting.

No diss on VS but I never got a good fitting there when I used to shop there. I didn't get a proper fitting until I went to a real undergarment store - they're not fancy looking stores and it seems like they mostly sell granny underwear. You'll be fitted by a mean looking older lady probably named Helga who will tell you that you are 3 cup sizes bigger than what you think you are. You will then begin to cry as she brings in the ugliest bras (harnasses is more like it) you've ever seen. But don't be frightened, the truth is that a good bra will make you look better in your clothes.

Being a 36G I know the horrors of ugly bras, but I've never felt better and more supported. If you haven't lost much weight in your bust then you probably won't. You're already pretty thin and unless you get emaciated down to 110 you won't lose too much more in that area.

YES! Perfect post. I travel two hours to get there, but there is a wonderful bra shop in Tulsa, OK called The Bust Stop. The post above describes my experience exactly.

Oh ladies, you are just KILLIN' me! I am trying to ROFL here as quietely as I can since I am at work but I have tears running down my face. Thanks for the laugh, just what I needed after a tough day!!!
