I forgot what good fit and support was

classic, conservative, value conscious, not rich, budget conscious, cost-conscious, practical

Pros

Last longer than competitors product, comfortable, durable, nice and plain, soft, wires don't poke out

Cons

colored bras tend to fade, Pricey at regular retail

MAY

2008

I have been buying bras at major department stores and buying nationally recognized brands like Bali, Olga, etc. , and recently was offered a bra fitting at my local Lane Bryant/Cachique location. Wow, what a revalation...First of all, I was buying the wrong size completely, and the bras offered by Lane Bryant are actually designed to carry the workload and still be comfortable and look nice. Price is competitive, and there are special offers where you can stock up without breaking the bank. And, if you are in between, like me...too big for Victoria Secret items and too small for many Cachique items...this bra fits the bill nicely. I prefer the white, because colors don't seem to last even with cold water washing and Woolite or another soap for delicates. I haven't had issues with wires poking or pinching as with some other brands. I like the deep four hook stance instead of the narrower back band, because it means less strap marks on the shoulder area at the end of the day. This has become a staple in my lingerie drawer.

When I had my bra fitting-imagine my surprise to discover that I am a 36 DDD?! I about fainted, but a properly fitted and comfortable bra makes such a huge difference, and I adore the cotton in the summer months when you perspire. Lots less chaffing...No matter how you cut it, if you are bigger than a 34 B or C, you are going to pay dearly for support.

This bra looks like the style that like too! I'm a 38D and I just can't wear VS anymore. They are too expensive anyway and they don't hold up. They loose their elasticity even when washed in cold water and hung to dry. I personally feel that when the straps are thin, they don't give me the lift that I need. That's my experience. I've even had a "flop out" once when the straps were too thin. LOL! I just found the bra that you have a pic of. Thanks for the tip. I really appreciate it.

I just got one for the first time , love it, No bra to worry about hanging out, amoung other things, really nice :)) Thanks for the review :))When it's a good fit and style you can't put a price tag on it.. There are so many brands that make bra shopping a hassle to look threw so many to find something that is decent.

they also have another style which is designed for low V tanks and tunics-and it gives the support and coverage without peeking out-plunge bra is a bit pricey, but I really like it.
