Haha!&nbsp;</p> <p>Ah, the boring nude bra -- my husband is not a fan. I do have a couple of bras in black, and even a couple in shades of blue, that Wacoal made -- they are now discontinued so I will be SOL when those bras die. Good thing I stocked up when they were going away, as the pandemic started, so now I have a good number to rotate, to keep them from wearing out too fast.&nbsp;</p> <p>I know I CANNOT be in such a small club of women who have these measurements that bra makers are flummoxed by our needs. I do laugh at how for years I wore a 34C or D, and that's when I was about 10-15 lbs smaller than I am now -- no wonder my bras always migrated up my back. But those were the sizes that were available!&nbsp;</p> <p>R&amp;J, Bravissimo seems to think I need a 28G based on the fit tests/comparisons with what I currently wear. Do you find their bands to be generously cut? I know I do not measure 28" at the moment (but my weight is slowly going down and some of my bands are a little loose, so maybe?). I guess that's what free returns are for! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/racerback-bras#post-2196089 Tue, 18 May 2021 00:04:12 +0000 April 2196089@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So sorry I can't help -- I hate the way racerbacks make my breasts feel "yanked out to the sides" so I never ever look at them.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>I tend to have only one style and size of bra at a time.&nbsp; Always nude-for-me, always highly supportive, so boring. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/racerback-bras#post-2196068 Mon, 17 May 2021 20:37:55 +0000 Janet 2196068@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tanya, Chantelle has worked for me in the past. I may check those out. Sometimes the really plunging styles don't quite have enough support or structure for me, but it's been a while since I tried one. Thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/racerback-bras#post-2196048 Mon, 17 May 2021 19:16:53 +0000 Tanya 2196048@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hear you,&nbsp; I wasn't sure if the cup size was inclusive enough.</p> <p>&nbsp;I have been doing lots of bra shopping lately ( my band want from 30 to 32 so a full refresh is in order).&nbsp; &nbsp; I haven't tried the ones below, only stumbled upon them in my searches:</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/racerback-bras#post-2196042 Mon, 17 May 2021 18:49:33 +0000 Janet 2196042@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tanya, I used to like Natori feathers when I was smaller (pre-menopause), but last time I tried them, they were one of the brands that I spilled out of the center -- I think the cups are a little widely spaced for me, and I am at the upper edge of their cup size range, so sizing up isn't possible for me. Too bad because I always liked their offerings.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/racerback-bras#post-2196041 Mon, 17 May 2021 18:40:09 +0000 Tanya 2196041@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have had luck this past weekend at the Nordstrom Rack with Natori Feathers, apparently it also comes in racer back and it has a nice lace back. I got both black and nude. The cups run small, so one needs to size up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/racerback-bras#post-2196038 Mon, 17 May 2021 18:34:02 +0000 RoseandJoan 2196038@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know that feeling well Janet, breast shape is definitely a consideration. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/racerback-bras#post-2196035 Mon, 17 May 2021 18:30:36 +0000 Janet 2196035@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, thank you, R&amp;J! I like that! Colors are nice too. I often have trouble with spilling out of the middle with that particular type of style, but it may be because the cups were a bit small or too wide set -- obviously I have a narrow ribcage and have found quite a few bras are too wide set, even with the proper band measurement.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/racerback-bras#post-2196028 Mon, 17 May 2021 18:17:40 +0000 RoseandJoan 2196028@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't know if you have access to Bravissimo in the States but I'm considering this one. It's available in a very Janet shade of blue! <a href="https://www.bravissimo.com/products/claudia-bra-ln684/#bright-cobalt-ln684bct" rel="nofollow">https://www.bravissimo.com/pro.....t-ln684bct</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/racerback-bras#post-2195956 Mon, 17 May 2021 15:35:12 +0000 Janet 2195956@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ISO a cute racerback bra that will fit a 30/32 F/G. I am having an awful time finding one that’s not just a convertible, which are usually not comfortable for me. I’ve checked the usual sources (barenecessities, herroom, Nordstrom, etc), but not much seems to be out there. I’m open to a sports bra style, but not a super heavy duty high-impact style — I already have that territory covered. </p> <p>Any suggestions? </p>
