I will agree, their bras really shocked me. My only complaint is their sizes. They seem to have the most standard sizes, which is fine...but if you are a thin girl with large breasts or a large girl with small breasts they really don't have anything.


I buy my daughter's bras at Target all the time, and she's a 32 C. It's worth checking out! The Gilligan O'Malley brand is pretty well made, comfortable, cheap, and now they have a whole line of organic cotton undergarments. And hell, it's Target! Even if you don't find a bra, there's always something to buy there! LOL Not a wasted trip, right?

Hahaha, yeah I'll agree that its not a wasted trip. Target is one of those places my fiance knows not to let me run loose in. I remember going in for laundry detergent and coming out with over $120 worth of stuff.

i think vs is so overrated also. unless youa re a size A or B, they really dont have much. for bigger sizes, try Cachique. i know i spelled it wrong, but it is the line from lane Bryant. I also like Fredericks of Hollywood. I used to feel like a stripper when i went in there, but now i am comfortable :)

Go to Nordstrom to get a good fitting, then see what they have in the store. Usually you can find it somewhere else cheaper, but their fittings are the best. I love the chantecalle line and Wacoal as well. Lumiere is great for larger cup sizes, and they are super cute.

Soma Intimates makes great ones. If you want a great basic one that fits well, I would try them. Of course they are not as "risk-e" as Victoria's Secret, but they work great for great support.

Victoria's Secret is highly over-rated; they've even told my husband that "34C is the same as 32D" blah blah blah. Having worn 30C, it's truly not the case.

Cacique I tried for my mother, but they don't carry 32.

The best line for support (not beauty) is Le Mystere; they're in every size, and Nordstrom has a great selection. Pricey, however, at $70 a pop. I have, however, found them at Marshall's for $11 (being an odd size helps--Marshall's, TJMaxx, Filene's, Burlington--the outlets usually have at least a few in 32C & D!).

Also try H&M or the web-only La Redoute, two European lines which carry 32s.

Good luck!

I really like La Perla, but their very pricey.
I have heard that La Mysterique and WACOAL have great bras.

The bra is my biggest dilemma and I found Wacoal and Chantelle at Nordstroms of course. I have to tell you to spend the extra if you can because they feel and make you look much better than vanity fair ($32) and they aren't even made well the wire breaks.

Try the website for "Fig Leaves" (www.figleaves.com) or Soma or Lady Grace or BraSmyth. The are all great and have every brand you can imagine. My personal favorites are from the old reliable Bali brand (very comfortable) and from Wacoal (very expensive). But these sites are GREAT and all permit returns!

Love ya all,
