I wear Body by Victoria bras from VS, the lined full-coverage ones. They're very well made, and I abuse my bras (wash them in the machine not in a bag!). I'm (or was) a 36DD and find that their bras fit quite well. I've also worn Soma bras for years, from way back when Soma was still in the Chicos catalogs! They're very nice as well. The only line at Soma that I've been displeased with is the back-smoothing style. It's too stretchy and the bands just don't seem to stay put, regardless of size.

I recently bought a Bali bra at a department store and it feels stiff and scratchy compared to my VS and Soma bras.

They have up to 40G in the VS stores. They have 38DDD and 40 DDD and 40G. I know because those are my sizes and I can buy bras and panties in the store.

Wow, I have been through the bra drawers and never seen anything like that in the Plano or Frisco TX locations. Maybe it depends on the size of the store? Or maybe they have them in the back and I would have to ask?? Not that it matters, I found an Olga bra I love at Kohl's, every time I get a 30% off I go buy a couple more. I have a ton of them, I will be sad when they get too big (although I know my husband will be praying my boobs don't go away, hehe)

@@laceemouse The store I go to has them right with the regular bras, they don't come in every style obviously but they are not hidden away. I'll take a picture next time I am in there. The store I go to is in the largest mall here, next time I am in a smaller mall, I will check there.

I think they just added these sizes though. I just start shopping at VS in the past few weeks.

Both sleeved, I kidded my precious 100 lbs. lighter 69 year old husband, that he needed ironing. So happy. I need a good facelift!

@@OutsideMatchInside $60 is pretty inexpensive for a bra, no? I'll check it out, thanks.

@@OutsideMatchInside nailed it! Body by Victoria. I like the Perfect Shape. It has pushup but good coverage as well.

Serious question:

Now that I'm at goal, I still have a pretty pokey out pannus. I've tried shape wear, but I spill out over the top where my tummy fat is. How do you deal with that? Shape wear that goes all the way up to my boobs?

We have a Soma and I have never been in. You've sold me. I'm going Thursday.

I like shift dresses, personally. Or skinny jeans and swing tops.

Well I think it is inexpensive, I mean $60 is about average, but some people act like it is a lot, so I am pretending that it is a lot so people on the internet don't get mad.

Sixty bucks for a bra IS a lot when you buy a few at a time. BUT!!! BUT!!!

A bra is a neccessity!! It's the foundation of your wardrobe and a properly fitting bra will support your chest and save your shoulders and back.

Yeah. That's worth $60. A great bra is worth a lot more.

It's kind of like shoes. You can buy cheap shoes at Payless and kill your knees, feet, hips and back, or you can invest in properly fitting shoes made for your fitness/professional needs and be a helluva lot more comfortable in the long run.

You can wear it with dresses, pants, jumpsuits.

I have boobs like flat pancakes now, still better smaller in size to what they were before .... huge and uncomfortable.

Maybe one day I can have them lifted .....

My arms are bit floppy, I feel I want to tape them up.

These are the only post op floppy effects so far.

On the great side is my face, looks like the weight loss was a natural face lift! My eyes are big again, and I look about 10-15 years younger. Very happy with that

How do you pee in all that?

You know it could be these sizes are a newer addition, I haven't been in one of their stores in a couple of years. My older two girls are financially independent these days and my youngest daughter is an easier to fit size now. Thanks for the info though
