Soma is a store found in many malls. They measure and fit you.

Dillards, Macy's, or Victoria Secret have trained people who will make the whole fitting experience comfortable for you. They will find a perfect fit and give you tips on wearing it.

Definitely not an online thing - you need to get fitted by a person in real life. My local one is cutely called "Bloomers." Heh.

I had the same issue when I had lost 108lbs on my own before. I used a pushup bra with inserts. The inserts look like a floppy plastic balloon that fill up the bottom portion of the cup. You could probably buy bra inserts online without having to replace your bras.

Soooo...I 2nd pushup bras ;)

I'm starting to have some serious boob droop, too, but I don't want to buy too much clothes yet because I'm still so new to my journey. I've been using inserts I actually bought for my wedding. I call them "chicken cutlets". They're basically silicone fillers you just stick in the bottom of your bra. They've been helping thus far.

I love this style from Lane Bryant and bought all they had in the smallest size when they were on sale so I'd have them. They're not really sports bras but are more supportive like sports bras. I find them easy to "soft serve" into, lol.
