I was looking at a website last night and they seem too good to be true but I might try them (trying to justify spending the $ on myself this close to the holidays LOL). I'm so hard to fit...
Where do you get bras? How do you get a good fit?

I get mine at Walmart because the fit isn't any worse there than the more expensive ones I've tried and I can't afford the REALLY expensive ones - and I especially can't afford to buy/return/buy again etc...in hopes of finding the perfect fit. I tried herroom.com but never did find one that fit properly (or even any better than the Playtex ones at WM). I wish we had an independent bra fitter locally - because the lady at our JCP isn't very good.
I'm a 38DDD with wide spacing and middle-age gravity issues- I would prefer an underwire for support but have never found one that fit properly so wireless it is.

The Bali one if you are a B or C.
Vanity Fair Beauty Back if you are C, D or DD.
I’ ve been a certified bra fitter for over 10 years. About the only thing I know. 😊

I buy most of mine at Nordstrom, or online at Journelle. I always get measured at Nordstrom and only buy brands online that I'm already familiar with the sizing. They're not cheap but a properly fitting bra makes everything about your clothes and body look better, so it's not an area I want to skimp on.

Nordstrom or a specialty bra shop locally.
I tried online but that doesn't work out well for me. I'm a 36DD. I hate foam covered cups-I much prefer unlined cups and they are getting harder and harder to find.
I hate bra shopping. I know my size but bras all fit differently. I think having a well fit bra makes a world of difference in how your clothes fit.

I love Soma - mainly because they have a local to me store. I appreciate all of their options they carry in store.
If Nordstrom was close, that would probably be my #1.

I just bought that Bali and love love it.... I don't do underwires as I have never found any that didn't poke. Best part about that Bali.. it fits just perfect and comfy. I have another one similar like that I love too... Not sure if it is Bali but the same concept. And the price is not outrageous!

Nordstroms for sure. $$$$ but oh so worth it. I skimped this time and went with a Bali and Vanity Fair and hate them. 2 months old and already loosing support and the Vanity wire makes noise sometimes when I move.
I have tried no underwire (DD) and ha...yea. No. One speed bump and the girls go flinging around clapping LOL

I'm a 42DDD (although, I'm on the tightest fastener so maybe I need to look at 40 soon (gotta love losing weight!)). On the website I looked at, they said 40G! I have NO idea what my "real" size is! LOL I don't like padded cups or underwires either.

Originally I purchased a store so that I had the proper fit and features etc. Now I order from the Bali website.
I heard such rave reviews of Wacoal that I went into a store to check them out. The clerk agreed that I had measured myself and had the right size. I tried on a bra and could not tell that it was going to feel any different than the Bali I had. Since Bali is MUCH cheaper, I continue to use Bali.

Bare necessities and figleaves are the online shops I buy bras from. I have a very unusual bra size that would never be found in a Dept store, unfortunately. The brands I buy most often are panache and fantasie

LOL I don't like padded cups or underwires either. You generally aren’t going to find 40/42F (DD=E; DDD=F; DDDD=G; etc) in stores like Walmart. I’d go get measured and fitted at Nordstrom and order online using that size.

You can also go into a Cacique store and they’ll measure you and have lots of bras in your size (Nordstrom might not). I also like herroom.com for larger size bras and shape wear. They have very detailed videos about how to measure at home. I’ve had great luck with them.

Same here! Also I can not get my size in regular stores. I go to a New England shop called Zoe & Co. check them out if you live in New England! I go there to get sized and buy a few to support their small business. Then I go online to Herroom.com to get some more at a better price.

I pretty much only wear Panache or Elomi brands. In my opinion your band size should be your actual ribcage measurement. Some department store fitters add 4 inches to your measurement, generally this will give you the incorrect size.

The Bali one if you are a B or C. Vanity Fair Beauty Back if you are C, D or DD. I’ ve been a certified bra fitter for over 10 years. About the only thing I know. 😊 I've been fitted many times. After measuring me we always find the cup size doesn't work as measured - the cups are much bigger than I need. We try and try. The best we have been able to do is use a bra extender, but if the cup fits the band is too small with one extender and 2 extenders have my straps falling off. Any suggestions of a brand that night work.

My sports bras are a 32H in Natori Yogi Convertible (I also wear these as my daily bra most of the time)
My strapless is a 32F in Fantasie.
My regular non sports ones are 32G in Fantasie.
