Had a quick photo taken in Bucc-ees today with the mascot. (Fun road trip with hubs) Was appalled when I saw it! My boobs were sagging, looked completely unsupported, splayed out to the sides. I can't keep trying to get away with so called comfort bras. I need underwires and full coverage support. My breasts are very heavy so padded straps would be good too.

Looking for brand suggestions available at brick and mortar stores so that I can try on. Price isn't a factor as I'm willing to invest in good quality. 
FYI I've had a bra fitting. I wear a 40D. Tia.

I swear by the Wacoal Visual Effects Minimizer....I wear a 40DDD.  I own several, all in this style.  Any good department store should have them.  I would recommend trying one on, I think you'll love it.  You can also go to the Wacoal website and read the reviews.

I wear Wacoal Basic Beauty Spacer Underwire T-Shirt Bra.  I find that though Wacoal bras are pricey they are very supportive and last a long time.

Re: Recommendations for bras

I had a great experience at SOMA about 5 years ago. Important to get re-measured every so often as our bodies do change - so I did!  After trying several styles & sizes at the store - with recommendations and help from the sales person,  I found the perfect bra for my size and shape . What a difference !

When I am looking for bras, I head to Kohl's.  They have a very large selection.  My favorite brand is Warner's.  I don't remember the exact styles, but they do have specific ones for side spillage.  They usually have very good sales on bras, too.  I could never buy bras on-line.  They have many brands and styles -- hopefully you will be ale to find something to work for you!

They aren't sexy,  but some of the playtex 18 hours bras are very sturdy,  even without the underwire.

Re: Recommendations for bras

Do any of the stores still have sales ladies that will measure you and recommend the correct bra for your body?  I think that would be the way to go.  Good luck.

 

I will suggest spanx bra's, that is what I wear and I love them.  I wish I had found them years ago.  That would have saved me time, trouble, frustration & money thrown down the drain.

 

Good luck

Ok! Bras! I have made a "study" of this item for about 4 years...willing to try ANYTHING!

 

I will admit this is a very "person-specific" item.

Kohl's recently: purchased two "love the lift" bras (pushes you in and up)

 

Will delete some pics and return.

I'm looking now at your original post and modifying my reply! 
Yes, I am finding I too have this problem! How quickly it happens without our knowledge! I discovered my "issue" (same as yours) when appearing on zoom!

 

For support I wear Wacoal front close ... it has complete coverage cups e/underwires. Another style I just love and is comfortable is a front close from Amazon. It is very supportive. I will go and get the name of it.

I agree with you, kohls has a large selection of bras, and, I always find what I need there! I wait for sales and coupons and do very well.
