Bras

LOOOOOVE LB bras!!! those things are amazing and they are usually buy one get one 50% off... THANK YOU MOSES! 

I don't know what size you are, and chances are, you don't truly know either unless you get a professional fitting done.  I know you think that VS bras are "too expensive," but they don't have to be.  I always get their cotton lingerie push-ups - they are 2 for $45 (regular price), and a lot of times, I find them on sale when they run their clearance sales online - I've gotten them for as little as $12 apiece.  The quality and comfort level is awesome, and I don't think the price is excessive, to be honest.  I have had lots of people comment that they are jealous that I've "kept my boobs" and really, I haven't - I always credit it to wearing good bras.  I think you should check them out - IMO, they are totally worth the investment.

Several months back I finally went to Dillard's and had a professional fitting.  Prior to that I had only bought the super cheap bras at WalMart (no more than $5 -$6 each).  But since I lost a bunch of weight, I decided to splurge a little and get measures (for the first time in my life).  I had previously always bought a 44DD.  Once I lost weight and got professionally fitted, I was a 40DDD - yep a DDD.  Who knew?  The 44DD just made me "hang down" - but when I purchased the new bras I was actually lifted (without them feeling like they were up in my throat.)  I love these new bras!  They were a little over $60 each - and I got 3 of them - but they made all of the difference in the world!!  I've lost about 30 more pounds since then - and should probably get refitted - but don't want to put out the money either...but probably will, pretty soon.

 I went from a 42 DDD to a now barely 34 D, what I did is went to Victoria secrets and I got measured and I tried on every bra, every style they had. up a size, down a cup, down a size up a cup. 
I ended up with "The Naked" Demi cut.    I now can walk in, see the very cult patterns and just buy it off the shelf or on line. They are expensive, but I am finding that from not being so big and fat, I am not killing the elastic on the bras or the underwire is not pushing throughout the fabric.

Its working for me.  I also like the Rounch panties. they have this elastic that goes up the crack of your but kind, not like a thong but it will gather my skin butt and make me look like i have nice butt cheeks.  Let me see if I can get the link. I will post below.

Good luck. I did take my daughter with me, so we did have lots of laughs while trying them on. lightened up this very stressful shopping experience

Hope this works

Donna,

Those panties just don't look comfortable!!  Are they really?

Beck, I got some new panties with the seam up the back. I do NOT like them. They're chronically up my butt. Consequently, I don't wear them and wasted $30. meh.

 I  am sure everyone feels different in different panties.  Depends on the shape of your butt too I guess.    

I totally agree! Oh and my butt - it's shape is saggy. LOL Although the other day, the boy said I had my pear shaped butt back. I was, however, wearing tight jeans.

Thank you so, so much ladies for the responses. I will definitely go and get professionally fit. However, I actually had a fitting and my ta ta's still didn't fit in the bra right, still roomy at the top, at least 3 of the ones I bought do. She said that I was a 36C or a 36B, and I really don't think that she knew what she was doing. I can't just go into the store and buy a 36C, because they all aren't fitting correctly. I have taken so many bras back to the store in the past few months, that it is becoming a running joke in my house.

The ones that do fit okay (36C's), start to bother me around the band after hours of wearing them. I do have a t-shirt bra, which I love, but I still have spillage on the sides, so now what? What bra do I wear to the fitting, if the 36C bras don't fit that great, in order to get an accurate fit? Should I wear the t-shirt bra? I know that I will probably have to try on quite a few bras that day, but I still don't know what which one to wear for the initial fitting. Does it even matter? I hope I don't sound like a complete idiot, but of course, I have never had this problem before, as you many of you probably haven't either.

Thank you in advance for any and all suggestions and possible solutions.
