Pricey but I hand wash them. It's been 8 months now and they are doing just fine. I have two lined for think tops and two lace but no lining which are for heavier knits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bras-1#post-290851 Tue, 01 Feb 2011 23:25:07 +0000 Janet 290851@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If there's a Soma near you, they're an excellent choice for a fitting and good bras too. I have a couple of their styles, and I must say their bras seem to be well made. There are a couple that I know I've had for well over a year (even though everyone says they won't last that long) that still are very serviceable. And I just wash them in the washer in a bag on the delicates cycle. </p> <p>Nordies is definitely another good choice. Be prepared to possibly have to try on different sizes even after a fitting. Depending on the brand and cut, I can be a 34D or 34DD. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bras-1#post-290814 Tue, 01 Feb 2011 22:25:00 +0000 Di 290814@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ditto to Nordie's and Intimacy.</p> <p>Also something that's important to remember is that it's not just about size, but also shape. I'm really busty (32DD), but for whatever shape reasons (or -sigh- gravity) a demi cup almost always fits, and a full cup almost never does. It's so much easier to buy bras now that I know that.</p> <p>Oh-- and maybe bring a clingy top to try on over it-- you'll notice the fit when you try on the bra, but you also want to know how your underwear affects your outerwear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bras-1#post-290796 Tue, 01 Feb 2011 22:04:19 +0000 biscuitsmom 290796@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would highly recommend Nordie's if you dont have a Intimacy nearby.... once you get fitted and find out what brands/styles you like, check out ebay for at least 50% savings off retail. Just be sure and check the seller's feedback and look for NWT/NIB (new with tags/new in box) I personally like Le Mystere and even the far cheaper Cacique available at Lane Bryants </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bras-1#post-290760 Tue, 01 Feb 2011 21:25:27 +0000 Mo 290760@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For budget priced t shirt bras I really like Maidenform's One Fabulous Fit. I have to order my size (32C) online but if you are a more common size they stock them at most department stores. <a href="http://www.maidenform.com/bras/collections/one-fabulous-fit/" rel="nofollow">http://www.maidenform.com/bras.....ulous-fit/</a></p> <p>ETA: the lace demi I noticed is only $15 on their site. I just paid $29 on herroom! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bras-1#post-290752 Tue, 01 Feb 2011 21:19:49 +0000 sdmominclothesrut 290752@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I, too, mostly read. Don't feel like I have enough clout to post suggestions when I feel like I can hardly put together an outfit in the void of my closetful of clothes! I went in November to finally give "the girls" the respect they deserve. I made an appointment for a fitting at Intimacy. Their bras are more expensive than most places ($100), but I feel like the fitting and the quality make up for the increased cost. You could always get a fitting and are not obligated to purchase anything. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bras-1#post-290750 Tue, 01 Feb 2011 21:17:14 +0000 Inge 290750@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi kh! I'd definitely recommend getting measured, yes, and from what I've read on the forum, Nordies does an excellent job.</p> <p>Have you seen this thread, yet? I think you might find more answers and suggestions there. And I'm sure the others will chime in here too.</p> <p>Good luck, have fun picking out some fab new bras and keep us posted!</p> <p><a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-bra-fitting-thread/page/5" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....ead/page/5</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bras-1#post-290742 Tue, 01 Feb 2011 21:08:49 +0000 kh 290742@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi ladies,<br /> I mostly read without posting, but now I have a question. I'm in the market for some bras. I've worn nothing but nursing bras for a very long time. Now it's time to move back into regular bras. </p> <p>I suppose I should get measured. I can make a trip to Nordie to do that. Any suggestions for bras? After three children my girls need some help. </p>
