another trip to the post office

Yet another strapless bra bombs today. This time it's the B'Tempted line by Wacoal through Freshpair. And I just found that the free shipping is now a $5 charge going back, on top of whatever it costs me to ship out of my own pocket. Grrr. Just a little rant to get it off my chest. And I still haven't gotten credit for the Wonderbra that's going back across the pond to the UK . . . by the time I find a strapless, it will be winter and won't matter anymore!!! ARGH.

Oh, pooh. Phooey on them for the extra return charge.

Yeah, that part really burns me - it's bad enough to have another miss in the bra department without that extra insult. Phooey indeed!

Mo, ack, how depressing. Everyone complains about shopping for jeans, but I think bras are the worst ever.

Mo, I'm in the market for a strapless bra, too. Am going to try this one by Spanx at Zappos....maybe you'll want to try it? I don't know how it will fit, but at least the shipping is free!

Thanks Kim and Nancylee, but I don't think Zappos carries anything in 30 band besides a couple sports bras. I am about to just go back to buying 32's because it's so much EASIER. harumph.
Good luck with your strapless, Nancylee, let us know how it goes!

(at least I got an email this am that Figleaves got their return from me!)

Okay, I went and got a 32C off eBay that's returnable - I'm just fed up at this point! It's Bali and won an Undie Award over at herroom. http://www.herroom.com/bali-34.....bra.shtml# 32 band may not be perfect fit, but it will be better than nothing at this point.

So frustrating, Mo.

Have you tried Princesse Tam Tam? I have a 32 strapless from them. Yes, it is too big, but not as much so as with other brands, and it does stay put. Expensive, but perhaps worth it, all things considered.

That stinks.

I don't even own a strapless bra, so few are the occasions to wear one.

I'll be making the trek tomorrow too, if it makes you feel better.

Una, a little -thanks! It's the walking in the heat I'm not looking forward to. I can get a lift there on teh BF's way to work, but walking home . . . blech. Maybe it'll be like a BF Skinner negative reinforcement, and I'll stop buying online - HA HA HA!

I need something that gives me a little electric ZAP every time I start a search...

Oh boo! Sorry to hear about the strapless issues. I avoid them and the tops that go with them because I do not find them comfortable or easy to fit.

Ah, I see I'm not alone in my strapless stuggles! Thanks for the commisseration everybody!
Funny thing, when I was blissfully unaware and wearing a 34 band (I know, I know) I loved my Maidenform One Fab Fit strapless bras - but of course they don't make them in any size I should actually be wearing . . . sigh.

Malina, that is just flat out WRONG to deduct money from your refund. Is it a restocking fee? I'm so sorry. Your perfect strapless bra is out there!
