Bra suggestions?

What are your favorite bra brands/styles? I need to go bra shopping, but I'd like to have something in mind before I go. I am a 34D, so I'd like to have something supportive (ie, underwire), but comfortable. Looking smooth under knits/t's is a must - no lace or seams. The only stores I have available to try things on are Macy's and Kohls, so that's a bit limiting as far as selection goes. I am willing to try something through mail order if they have a good return policy, though.

My favorite brands are Chantelle, Freya, and Fantasie. (I'm a 32G/H so my selection is even more limited than yours - Nordstrom is the only brick and mortar store I've found where I can try on bras that come in my size.)

I'll be back to add some specific models if I can find them online.

Okay, so some of my former faves have been discontinued & are no longer available online, but here are my current standbys:

My favorite daily bra. Perfect shape and support, and *almost* a tee shirt bra in terms of how little the seams show under a medium-gauge knit top or dress. http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/ch.....n=category
It's expensive, but occasionally certain colors go on sale, and last summer this bra was part of the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. It's worth scoping out.

Another daily bra that I like. http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/fr.....ra/3030207
The Chantelle model is a slightly better fit for me, and the Freya bra only has a double hook-and-eye closure compared to the Chantelle's triple hook-and eye, so that's a factor to consider. However, the Freya bra is much less expensive.

My current favorite sports bra. Utterly perfect for cardio and fits me *much* better than any athletic bra I've tried before. http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/fr.....n=category

I can't wear this because it doesn't come in a large enough cup size, but my mom is pretty close to your size and I think that this is the bra she wears every day. http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/wa.....n=category

I like Chantelle and Wacoal. Macy's should carry both of these. I wouldn't rule out seamed bras..... I am a recent seamed bra convert and what a difference it makes! I don't notice a problem with the seams showing either.

In your size you might be able to find some good ones in Maidenform at Macy's or Kohl's.
