I am seriously peeved.
Victoria's Secret (at least the store near my office) is no longer carrying any bras above 38DD in their stores. Sure, they can be ordered online, but I'd prefer to try a bra on to ensure that it actually fits.
Pardon me while I pout over this. :-/
Then again, I suppose it wasn't *that much* of a loss for me, as they only had two or three styles that I could actually wear. Still, I am rather bummed over this.
In the meantime, I did want a better bra, as the padded t-shirt style are for the birds (the padding warps really nicely and doesn't retain its shape, giving me a swell implant-like ridge), and the Vic's Secret (and Lane Bryant - sorry, Kellie) bras aren't the most supportive.
So, what's a girl to do? Why, run across the street to Macy's, of course, and finally break down & pay full price (over $50) for a damn good Walcoal bra, that actually fits. Yes, I almost cried when I paid what I did for one bra - especially since I could get 2 at my former purveyor of bras for the same price. But, I've known Walcoal to be really good, very high quality, and certainly worth the money.
This is what I bought - only it's in a swell periwinkle blue: Ooooh, Boobies!
I know, I'll probably be teased because I want the girls to actually be supported - or as Kellie might consider it, "restrained". But, I'd rather not give off the appearance of Free Range Boobies - especially in public. (Yeah yeah, I know, it makes me seem all prim and proper ... so what.)

1) I only suggested Lane Bryant because they carry your size and you were bitching about paying too much and finding a style that fits. I can't wear their bras at all, now that my band size is too small.
2) Only one style at VS fits me, and I have no problem buying multiple bras of the same style. It's the only bra I wear cause it works for me. I think it supports me very well, thankyouverymuch. That doesn't mean it will work for you -- and I never said it did.
3) Of course you should be supported. And I never said that you shouldn't. And where did "restrained" come in? I have *never* said that to you. Ever. Nor did I suggest that you give the appearance of free rangers. All I said is that you wear your bras really tight. That's not the same thing as unsupportive. Your band is usually stretched to the max in the back, and the straps and wires leave marks on you. That's not supportive -- supportive is how the cup holds the breast. That's just too damn tight.
I'm glad you found one that works for you. After all, that is what matters.
