OT- Bra shopping (long)

 It's called a tube sock with straps!! LMAO

I feel for you Squid - bra shopping has become the bane of my existence!  I have one 34DD (was a 46DD) that is the freaking only bra that fits me properly.  I went to LB, Avenue, Khols, Walmart, Target, TJ Maxx, Macy's and couldn't find another.  I have refused to go to Victoria's Secret because one of the things I was looking forward to about losing weight was that bras and undies wouldn't be so insanely expensive. *sigh*

There's a whole "Murphy's Law" thing going on with clothes shopping I swear.  Back when I was size 30 and went to LB and Avenue, the only sizes they had in the store for the items I liked were 14/16... now that I'm in a 14/16 (top... bottom 18)... all I freaking find are size 26/28 and 30!!!   *sigh*

lol  you are sooooooo right Maris!
I can only find the larger sizes now and pre-op I could only find the sizes I am looking for now!

 Yep, I'm experiencing the same thing. . . I think it's a gub'mint conspiracy!

 I have ONE bra right now.  yes friends.  One.  Wash rinse  repeat.  I won't buy another one until I am almost at goal.  Who  am I kidding.. I will tired of this really soon.  I am certain of it.  

I was a 46B before surgery and the ONE bra I own is a 38D.  I feel like I am in boobie heaven.  *sigh*

Tee hee!  I am SO raggin' you on this at support group next week, Missy!!!! 

Muaaahahahahahaa!

Congrats on finding 30 bras to even try on at a basic department store.

I still have to drive 2 hours to Houston to be custom fitted for my 36J bras.

I started out a 48J and I'm now a 36 J -- "JUST CUT THE DAMNED THINGS OFF ALREADY!!!"

The good news (for me) was the surgeon agreed that reduction is a necessity for me and with my changing back to Scott & White insurance, they only have a 500 g per breast requirement for reduction and I've got that EASILY...

First I gotta lose the last 40 lbs and get the medial thigh lift and saddlebags taken care of. THEN I'll worry about boobies going bye-bye along with batwings!

Great thread!
Anyone have any suggestions for how to match nipple heighth?
They don't look even lately.
Is it me?

Oh gosh, I'm looking forward to buying a new bra size, but at the same time I'm dreading it.  Sorry about your ordeal, but glad you got something out of it. :)

BTW, this is why you would wear double-sided tape on your boobs:

Yes Victoria Secret sale staff will measure you. Nothing copmpares to their Push up bras...OMG...I haven't had cleavage like this since I was 18. Was lucky...caught their semi annual sale and with the 30% employee discount(Thanks Britt) I ended up getting 5 AWESOME bras for about $130. All were originally priced in the $40-$55 range.
