I’m a big fan of both Herroom and Bare Necessities as they have frequent sales and good return policies. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-lingerie-thread#post-2110166 Mon, 30 Mar 2020 20:35:48 +0000 smittie 2110166@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m lucky in that I’ve found a bra at the $50 that is perfect for me. It has lasted a long time too (3 years) so I’ll stick with it.</p> <p>Ive tried Calvin Klein bras (on sale for about $30) and they’re very durable but don’t fit as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-lingerie-thread#post-2110124 Mon, 30 Mar 2020 18:22:06 +0000 Angie 2110124@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I want to try on a Fleur of England bra too!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-lingerie-thread#post-2110110 Mon, 30 Mar 2020 17:45:35 +0000 Roberta 2110110@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been a Wacoal girl for decades. I've tried others, but always return to the W.&nbsp; Once I find a style that suits me, I look for it on Ebay (new, not used) and buy a couple more. But this WFH sitch has me thinking about wire-free bras. And since Flytigress helpfully mentioned that Bare Necessities has an extra 25% off today (thanks!!), I ordered two. Why suffer the metal cage if no one is going to see me? I'm not going without entirely - what am I, a barbarian? :-)</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-lingerie-thread#post-2110022 Mon, 30 Mar 2020 11:52:14 +0000 Style Fan 2110022@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have tried many bras at all different price points.&nbsp; For me, the best bras are T-shirt bras by Chantelle.&nbsp; I pay about $100.00 Canadian.&nbsp; If I could find something for less then I would buy that but there is not much point.&nbsp; I will only buy my bras at a B &amp; M because I find online shopping a pain but I live in Canada.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />I prefer my bras to be nude coloured and to have as little lace as possible. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-lingerie-thread#post-2109816 Sun, 29 Mar 2020 14:16:28 +0000 Flytigress 2109816@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>PSA:&nbsp; The US online stores herroom and Bare Necessities both have bras (including Prima Donna and Empreinte) 25% off today.&nbsp; Hope that helps someone. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-lingerie-thread#post-2109783 Sun, 29 Mar 2020 08:18:14 +0000 Jane 2109783@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>DH has bought me a La Perla bra for a birthday and I love it. £££. </p> <p>Very precious, beautiful and lovely to wear. </p> <p>My other bras are a Intimmissimi. Not costly but fit perfectly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-lingerie-thread#post-2109780 Sun, 29 Mar 2020 08:12:37 +0000 Jenni NZ 2109780@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In NZ I have outlet stores available for my preferred brands and tend to often get the same kind over and over. I haven’t bought new ones for several years and don’t track costs on bras but think between $30-$60 NZ which is less in US $. They would be more if not at the outlet store. I like black or white ones the best but also have pale pink and even one yellow!<br /> I have 6 bras altogether, one is strapless and the other 5 not. Three of those 5 are the exact same kind in 3 different colours.<br /> It would be nice if people put something in their profile even just their country, since this is an international forum. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-lingerie-thread#post-2109733 Sun, 29 Mar 2020 00:57:44 +0000 Preppy Pear 2109733@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My bras cost 70 - 100, but I try to find sales when I can. I think good bras are really important- I’d pay more if I had to, but I am really happy with my favorite styles, including the SP bra Angie posted.<br /> FWIW, I usually only have 5-6 bras in rotation. I’m all for having fewer great bras than a dozen bras I feel meh about. I don’t think 200 dollars for a bra that is amazing is crazy, but probably not necessary. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-lingerie-thread#post-2109727 Sun, 29 Mar 2020 00:08:52 +0000 elpgal 2109727@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have lazy breasts that do absolutely nothing to support themselves, so I have to invest in Prima Donna which run about $120ish or so. I’d happily pay more for the right bra. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-lingerie-thread#post-2109717 Sat, 28 Mar 2020 23:24:17 +0000 slim cat 2109717@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Calvin Klein or Madewell and only on sale - under $24 most of the time.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-lingerie-thread#post-2109708 Sat, 28 Mar 2020 22:50:11 +0000 em 2109708@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Angie</b>: I love Simone Perele, but that is as high as I go.</p> <p>If I had unlimited funds I would probably buy Fleur of England.

See Finds. I'd pay more if I needed to.

I pay under $100 and try to find them on sale. I wear a difficult size--not many less expensive brands make them in my size. And the brands are inconsistent, even within different styles in the same brand. I'm careful with them, but they do wear out.</p> <p>Now if a $200 bra made me look like--well, I can't think of which movie star--maybe I'd buy it.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-lingerie-thread#post-2109689 Sat, 28 Mar 2020 20:38:23 +0000 The Cat 2109689@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I suppose you are in North America. (No info in your profile ... ) Well, I am in Europe. My favourite bra costs less than $25, and fortunately, I purchased a couple of new ones a few days before the corona situation made it necessary for me to stay away from malls. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-lingerie-thread#post-2109675 Sat, 28 Mar 2020 19:22:35 +0000 em 2109675@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am taking this opportunity to replenish my bras.&nbsp;</p> <p>Empriente's bras hover in the $200 range. A specialist told me that the workers must apprentice for 3 years before being permitted to make them, and that each bra is hand cut. Also, the materials tend to be better.</p> <p>But all bras wear out. What is your price range that you are comfortable with? I won't go over $100.&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm an odd size so the only b&amp;m stores I go to are in NYC. The rest of the year it's shopping via the internet, which is still always iffy, as I am inconsistent in sizes even between brands.</p> <p> </p>
