NSV-First.Victoria's.Secret.Bra.Ever!!!

After losing 80+ pounds so far, I was in desperate need of a new bra. I found some very inexpensive ones on sale at JC Penney's, and bought them so I had something to wear for the past month or so, but they still weren't a perfect fit. I went to VS and the largest size they sell in store is 38DDD. Well, I need 40DDD, which they sell online only. I tried on a 38DDD in the store with an extender...definitely was not going to work. So, I had $20 in coupons and free shipping, and I went ahead and ordered it. Well, it came today...and it fit great! It was so exciting! Now, to find a sports bra that works. I have tried Walmart, but they don't have those sizes and I don't want to spend a fortune. Does anyone have a suggestion for where to find a good sports bra in this size?

Congrats on the very significant weight loss so far! I'm in the same boat as you regarding bra sizes and the only place I have found comfortable bras that fit me is at Catherines.

Congrats on the Victoria' Secret bra!! What style did you get? I want to get one from there (I'm a first timer too!) but am overwhelmed by all the styles. i want a good push up bra. I'm a little put off by going to the store..I feel like they'll look at me like "we ain't got nothing for you here"

Re: Sports bras...by FAVORITE is the Enell sports bras. Its expensive but holds *great*. I'm making due with one.

Hey PP, I suggest going in (I too was uncomfortable but they made me feel good) and having them fit you and try on several styles. Plan a good hour at least to try on and shop. I bought my first one a few months ago and now have 4 and love them.

I got the Body by Victoria Perfect Coverage Bra. They come in Full and Demi, I opted for the Full, because when I tried the demi on in the store everything just spilled out the top. It is soft and comfortable. I wore it today and loved it!!!! It doesn't have any push up in it, but they may have that style too. My cup already overflows, but I may need a push up eventually to fill things out. Don't be afraid to go in the store. They didn't make me feel strange at all. I just found a girl with a tape measure and said that I had recently lost some weight and wondered what my size was and if I could fit into their bras yet. They measured me and made suggestions of the types that might work.

I will check out the sports bra you mentioned. Thanks.

Congrats!!

Emie,

You are my hero! How long did it take you to get to 150? I seem to be stuck at 162 after surgery 10 months ago. Thanks for the help.

You are too kind :) I got to 150 around 6 months (I was 247 at time of surgery in Aug). You're doing awesome-keep on keeping on!!

Omg I can't wait to shop at VS! I'm so happy for you and that you got it online. I will go online too to see if they have my size. Thanks for the post.
