So many obese women dream of wearing the sexy, ultimate bras from Victoria Secrets, right?

Well, I wore them when I was around 180-190lbs when I could wear the 38D dream angel bras so the major "want" to wear them wasn't there for me. But, I do love their panties, and ordered a bunch and scored 2 reward cards. I thought what the heck, let's go get measured, and buy a new sexy bra ! ! ! First off, the first girl wanted to measure me with my bra on, yeah that won't work huney. So, she calls her manager in, and I explained I'm wearing a super push up bra, with padding and I need to be measured without a bra on. I proceed to tell her that I've lost a lot of weight, and my breasts are nothing more than skin and breast tissue. As she's nodding, and saying "yeah right, you're boobs don't look bad". I take off my bra, and BAM, her eyes nearly bugged out of their damn sockets, it was quite hilarious to be honest. So, she proceeds to try to measure me, and is a bit confused because my nipples are not anywhere near where they "should" be.

We get the measurement 32-34 B. I already knew that, and proceeded to try on 18 different bras, various sizes, and I literally tried on every bra type they make with the exception of the little t-shirt bras because those little straps of cotton aren't going to hold anything up. Not a single damn one of them fit properly, or were so uncomfortable that I couldn't imagine wearing them for more than 10 minutes.

Least to say, I left feeling defeated, I think I kind of teared up a bit as I put on my $6.00 maidenform bra from Ross, and then I looked at myself in the mirror. I really looked at myself, and realized that I'm better off not dumping $48 on a bra. I had to Celebrate all of my success, and not let this one fitting room experience ruin me. I did want to buy a bra, more than anything I wanted to feel feminine and look lovely in a bra. It was emotional, and a little overwhelming, but I am not going allow it to really get me down.

Thank goodness I love their body care products and panties ! ! ! I didn't buy anything, but plan on going back this next week to get some more panties and body sprays LOL. BUT, I did stop in at Old Navy and scored 2 sweaters and tanks in XS so I shouldn't be bitching, right?

I am hoping halter boobs will be in style! For the first time ever I will hop on the bandwagon on be one of the firsts to try the new fashion! Going from 42G/H to 38 F and still have another 50 lbs to lose......what will my skin-puddles-in-a-bra look like? Nips already aim to Brazil so what is left?

VS has brought me to tears recently. For my birthday my DH got me a gift card for VS - which I never - ever shop at! They do carry my size (38D) but only in select styles and it is hella-pricey. So when I saw my gift card I literally started crying. He had no idea and I had no want to explain to a perfectly fit man why this overweight girl doesn't want a VS gift card. So I held on to it for months and finally got tired of him nagging me to use it. So I did; I bought two bras - one of which I wear almost daily because it bumps me up to a DD - WOAH! and the other - a super sexy red lace number that has disappeared off the face of the earth! Oh yeah $125 for two bras - no thank you. I told him to please never - ever give me a gift card from VS again!

Even when I finally lose weight, I do not want to shop there for bras. Shampoo (YES), body spray and perfume (YES) but bras - NO! Too expensive and no support.

I am super worried about needing implants. I keep seeing it brought up. I don't want foreign objects in me That is why I wanted VSG over the Band (as well as a few other reasons). But I also dont want to have to roll up my boobs to create a booblet to fit in my bra. Do you think halter boos will ever be in style? Pull them up, tie them behind the neck like a halter top. Might work... LOL idk...

I used to have a couple of sets of panties/bras from VS.....and the only thing they were used for was to turn hubby on. I never ever ever wore them on a daily basis....they were too uncomfortable....even when I dieted down to a decent size. I'm all about the Warner or Warren?

Bras from Kohls!

I recently traveled to the US and got fitted at Bloomingdale's. Turns out I'm a 32DD and not 34D as I thought. I tried on like 15 bras, and the two bras I ended up buying fit like a glove! One of them is a strapless bra that I can wear all day long without feeling uncomfortable and it provides great support - I thought the only way I could wear a strapless with my DDs would be if I got a full-on corset with boning. They weren't cheap, but holy, are they worth it! The crap from VS fades in comparison. From now on, I'm trusting my boobs to a professional.

I'll be honest, I haven't read all the posts in here so forgive me if this has already been mentioned. I went to Intimacy to get fitted. (www.myintimacy.com)

They aren't all over, so you'd have to be in the right place. They have a great selection, even for us Pooh sized girls. They aren't cheap, the one I got cost about $100, so it better last a lifetime! A great time to go is when they're having a sale. I went to a sale once and got 2 bras for less than I paid for the first one.

The lady did such a good job fitting me that I didn't mind being "woman handled" . They don't even measure you with a tape measure. They seem to just know by magic. She told me what size I was before she even went out and got the bras for me try on!

I know I just posted here a few days ago, but I found a place today that may be helpful to folks...Soma Initimates, their website is www.soma.com

Prices are cheaper ($44 for the one I got, not on sale) than at the Intimacy store I went to previously and they have more locations.

Marks and Spencer lingerie is the dogs b's as far as I am concerned, deals with real womens bodies and they are super sexy

AGREE!! I always load up whenever I'm in the UK on bras and pants too. And NOW THEY SHIP HERE AS WELL! Just got a package yesterday...

I just bought two wonder bras at Ross... For you gals with little boobies, they really shape things up! I even get cleavage, which for me is near impossible! I just paid $8 each for grey leopard print. Comfy too. I went from a 44c/d to a 36 B or C so far....

I've said it before and I'll say it again, the buck stops with Lunaire. Yes they are pricey but worth every single penny. The fit flawlessly, you wil never have to adjust a slipping strap, the breasts are molded perfectly, and they are pretty! Their "coolmax" underwire sports bra is the best bra I've ever worn. EVER.
