Would like to see other bras besides Breezies on the Q

Breezies gets a great deal of air time on QVC, and I can't help but notice that they only have two customer top-rated products at the time I'm writing - neither of which are bras!

I've tried a couple of Breezies bras, and they just were not right for me for a number of reasons I won't go into here. Instead, I'd just like to suggest to QVC that they bring in another option for bra choices.

My wish list: Seamless, front-close, underwire, no weird little "catch the sweat" panels on the inside, and please not such huge cups from side to side that cut into the arms..

Over the years they've tried with Wacoal, Bali, and a couple of other bras other than Breezie, but apparently QVC doesn't get their magic sales percentage to continue a relationship with these companies. They are showing a few Jockey products lately, so maybe they will add some Jockey bras to expand from just showing the Skimmies collection.

I have a hunch that other than these multi size bras such as Ahh and Genie, it stands to reason that for whatever reason, traditional fit bras aren't a big seller via TV.

Not an issue for me. I buy my bras from Onehanesplace dot com or JCP.

I don't need anything that's industrial strength.

Because bra fits are so individual I doubt if you would ever see a customer top rated style from anyone.

Bras can be purchased from many etailers. Forget QVC for bras and look at Kohls. They have some great sales and you can search for codes for free shipping. Returns can be made at their stores. Once I find a style I like, I reorder it in multiples.

Kathleen suggests OneHanesPlace and that's a great place to buy from, too.

I also tried Breezies and their weird synthetic thread irritated my skin. Onehanesplace is great, also I've found good bras in dept. store sales. I like cotton Bali, Jockey etc. I also have a few Genies which I like even tho they're not cotton.

Before I started wearing Genie bras, which is all I wear now, I wore only Bali bras. The only reason I switched is because I need more back support now.

I just can't buy a bra without trying it on. I've been getting all of mine from Soma now.

Even though I know my size, I still try them on just to see how they fit and feel.

I would like to find bras that are not full coverage. I don't need that, I need a shallow cup, lined but not padded and no underwires, no annoying scratchy lace, but not basic army-issue looking. This bra does not exist.

I, too, like to try a bra before buying. I did order a Breezies bra once and the fit was bad. I also ordered one from another online business that did not fit. That was my lesson to not order bras, but buy them where I can try them on.

It seems that every time I have looked at a Breezies bra that interested me, the reviews were terrible. I have to wonder how they are making a profit with so many returns and complaints. I buy my bras from Soma, high quality and great reviews.

tried breezies too many times now......will NOT buy any bra from their line. they just dont fit me well and are too inconsistent in fit and quality.

right now i pretty much buy cacique and wacoal bras because they work well for my figure type and i can generally count on a great comfortable fit. 38DD

I've watched their shows, but, die laughing. Might as well go without. When your big busted and older, as well, you need "industrial strength" to get 'em up where they're suppose to be these wouldn't work for me. I'm glad for the women, though, that that is all they need they are pretty.

I'm a Genie Bra girl now (yeah..comfort). I wear have a few traditional bras for tops or dresses that don't work with Genie Bras and they are all Bali. I've always worn Bali bras because bras are like shoes and jeans; when you know a fit and when you know what works for you, you stick with it.

I may be wrong, but I have a feeling that the Q might actually have the same deal with the Breezies people that they do with Graver because I don't see this brand out in any store.

I have nothing else in my drawers right now but Genie......I need some new ones, but I want some white and nude (hopefully a lighter color nude than the dark tan they offer now).....I don't need or want anymore colors or black......

I have always thought this also.

Too bad there aren't any other places to shop for bras...

The Breezies I purchased in the past did not stand up to the test of time. I believe it was about a year later and the bras looked horrible. YES, I would like to see other bra brands come to the Q. I know they have Genie and they started bringing in Jockey but we could use more.
