Warner's bras and Olga bras fit me fairly well as I like a molded cup full coverage bra as I wear a 38D bra. Did you know that these two brands are owned by the same company? I decided to google both brands when I tried on nearly identical bras from both lines and they were exactly the same color of brick red. They have the same RN and CA manufacturer's number.

 

I also notice that Warner's makes bras for Target but the quality isn't the same as the same bra made for a dept. store as the strap elastic and back band are cheaper feeling.

 

I also tried on some Warner's No side effects bras at Marshall's in the U.S. And I'd swear those were outlet bras made for Marshall's as the sizing was off and not like the fit of the same bra that I bought at Hudson's Bay department store.

@TYThanks, great to know.  I've been able to get my fav style on Amazon.  

So many ladies need to turn to a molded cup to prevent "headlights". The molding is micro thin, and doesn't add. I'm embarrased for them everytime I see them.

Re: Warner's bras and Olga bras

I wear Warner's most of the time. It's disappointing when you find a style you love and then it is discontinued. My last Warner's I bought on Amazon. It cost $24. In my local store, the same bra was about $40. Very happy to have discovered a style I like that doesn't cost $40.

Re: Warner's bras and Olga bras

I wore Olga bras exclusively in the 80's through the 90's--specifically the front closure lightly padded bra that was much too expensive, even then.  You could not machine wash and dry and it took hours to dry.  I have since switched to Bali "Lace 'n' Smooth.

 

Anyway, I found this information regarding Warner's and Olga.

Girls, If you are very small busted, or really flat, I suggest Olga. I've been wearing them for years because they give me a bust, and they are really comfortable.

I will have to give them a try. I've been very disappointed with Breezies.

Re: Warner's bras and Olga bras

Great information and comments here. I've tried quite a few different brands over the years, but I pretty much stick to Warner's bras....they fit the best and the quality is great. I'm amazed at the prices these days, so I wait for either Kohl's or Macy's to have their bra sales. I didn't realize I should probably check out Amazon, so thanks for the information!

Re: Warner's bras and Olga bras

My Cosabella bra was discontinued this month.  Isn't it always like that?
