Thanks for explaining. I swear I learn more at YLF everyday than I ever did. No scrubs but I am in gloves and a below-knee length labcoat handling nasties and bleach, so it is a sweats kind of day. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bra-suggestions#post-79822 Sat, 18 Jul 2009 15:18:16 +0000 carissa 79822@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>When a woman is short waisted, short under the arm, etc. necklines can be too low and therefore show the top of the center gore of the bra. That is why I recommend a plunge to short waisted full bust women.</p> <p>Soft cup styles are hard to come by in that size range. Here is a recent blog post on the subject: <a href="http://bratiquehelene.blogspot.com/2009/04/how-to-relax-in-b-r.html#comments" rel="nofollow">http://bratiquehelene.blogspot.....l#comments</a></p> <p>Wicking fabric, to my knowledge, only comes in sports bras. Have you tried a lower impact one? If you're wearing scrubs/lab coat all day it is definitely an option. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bra-suggestions#post-79746 Sat, 18 Jul 2009 03:33:58 +0000 elpgal 79746@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kristen - Yep, I am going to try the NAS to find some bras.</p> <p>Rute - I can't tell from the link what model it is but I have the link bookmarked and will be looking out for it. </p> <p>Carissa - Thanks for the suggestions. Is there a reason why you suggest the plunge bra for the short-waisted. I have the balcony style of the Fantasie bra and I love it but not for hot sweaty days in the lab because of the synthetic material. Ideally, I'd like a nice cotton/dri-weave type soft-cup bra. But, I guess I can't be too choosy at the size I am.</p> <p>Christine - I like the pretty details in that bra. I'll try it out when I get a chance. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bra-suggestions#post-79283 Thu, 16 Jul 2009 16:54:57 +0000 crwilson 79283@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have the second one that Carissa posted, and I can vouch for its comfort. (I also wear a 32f.)

I always rely on my lingerie salespeople to find me the right bra. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bra-suggestions#post-79162 Thu, 16 Jul 2009 03:54:06 +0000 elpgal 79162@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I spend so much time in the lab some days that the underwires are just not comfy. I am looking for a wire-free bra that is not a sports-bra (too hot) but still provides a modicum of support. An 8-hr bra if you will.</p> <p>I am short-waisted and take a 32F/34E in UK sizes. My favorite underwire styles are balcony bras (since I am bottom-heavy).<br /> Please help. </p>
