Re: Recommendations for bras

We have a Bucc-ees where I live and I have never been in there. I pulled up once to use the restroom but they were so busy, I did not go in. Not sure if I ever want to.. Costco is across the street and I always head there. Bucc-ees it seems is full of highway traveling tourists. I read their bathrooms are the best.

Went to Dillard's. They have certified bra fitters who have been trained by Wacoal. This is not for easily embarrassed modest people. Of which I'm one. Bit I powered through, lol. First she assessed my current bra and how it fits me. Then I had to get topless. She educated me about how a bra should fit. She used a particular Wacoal as the tester. First one in the size I've been wearing. Band size ok. Cup size too small. Next bra, cups still too small. Turns out I'm a 40 DDD. What a difference in my appearance! I bought three underwire Wacoal bras. Most comfortable things I've put on my old body lately. Well worth the $$$$.  

Of course when I take off my perfectly fit, side-shaping, uplifting bra there's a jolt on the Richter scale when the girls drop. 😆😂

Glad you found some well fitting, comfortable bras. I am on the modest side like you and I have a large bosom. But I have had various medical issues the last two years which required various states of undress and I have become blasé about who sees my bosom. I mean at 65, gravity being what it is, they are what they are. 



re: medical, yeah last month when I was in the ER and admitted to the hospital three times...all for cardiac problems,, I finally got used to the medical staff hoisting up my boobs to stick ekg leads and defibrillator pads under and around them. I just had to tell myself they do this every day all day.

My comment re medical situation and baring my bosom, was based on this exact scenario. 2 years ago I went into ER because I was having excruciating pain and one of the tests was an EKG. So I am sitting on table, naked from the waist up, with all exposed and one of the tech mentions my tan...arms, neck and face all brown, belly and bosom white as snow. I DID NOT CARE. I thought, these people have seen everything before and please just make the pain stop.

Re: Recommendations for bras

Hi!  In all honesty, I am not a large breasted gal, but I adore Le Mystere bras.  I purchased my first one at Nordstrom when I was in my thirties, and still buy the brand.  I can attest to the quality and know it is Oprah's fave (and she looks larger breasted).  I hope this maybe helps.  Bras are so personal and imoprtant.  XOXOXOXO

Same here. Great bras.  They got famous (to me anyway) with that back appeal bra.

Re: Recommendations for bras

I wear WACOAL T-Shirt Bra...no seams, no lace, except for a tiny bow in the center...you can remove.  

 

I am a 32 G - it is hard to find but the store can order that size if they do not have in it stock.  I find the bra wears really well - Oh and I must wear a underwire...I don't find it to be uncomfortable at all...if you are big busted it is a must.
