Help help help! I am sick and tired of horrible bras! This is a question I'm throwing out to all you larger chested ladies. Meaning, D cup or bigger. I'm about a 38DD, or 40D, and I have about 20 bras that I can't stand wearing. My most recent purchase was at Lane Bryant (the balconette bra). When I first tried it on, I was like "whoa" because it makes "the girls" look super fab, nice and round, and high. Loved it! Then I started wearing it....argh! The straps are so far at the edge of my shoulders that they constantly fall off (so annoying). But the biggest annoyance is that the sides of the bra contain a piece of underwire that runs vertically kind of underneath the armpit (I think its purpose is to kind of hold the boobs in from the side). The thing that makes me crazy is that it comes up so high under my armpit, that it rubs it raw. So I'm trying to find the bra that will make me look great AND feel comfortable. I guess I'd say the Victoria Secret Body by Victoria is the most comfortable one I've got, but it's so stretchy that it tends to stretch out really quickly. I've heard the "Le Mystere" bra (found at Nordstroms and happens to be Oprah's favorite--pictured above) is really good. But it's pricey. At this point, I wouldn't care. As long as it was comfy! So, if y'all know of any great bras for us larger chested ladies....I'd love to know the "good stuff" about them like what kind they are and where you bought them. I am desperate.

Le Mystere? Or Something Else?

I'm always on the hunt too! I can't wait to see if anyone has some suggestions!
I've also heard the Le Mystere is fabulous and want to try it out myself. I'm starting to think that there's no such thing as a bra that's too pricey if it makes the girls look great! I think its worth the cost!
Sorry girls, wish I could help in this department...believe me I REALLY do. Most of my bra shopping experiences consist of finding padding to STUFF my bra with.
(I do know that athleta.com has some really good full coverage bras for B-DD cups...they also have LOTS of cute clothes, swimsuits, shoes. One of my favorite stores!)
I'm in the same boat as Kacey. However I've heard some well endowed ladies like bra's from SPANX
