I went from 42C to 38G, and couldn't be happier.<br /><br />I got properly fitted by Bravissimo (http://www.bravissimo.com/) during my holiday in UK and must say that the fitting was very professional. Maybe it's because I'm from Europe, but I didn't find any problem with being topless in front of the sales person - we were alone and after all, she was just doing her job, I'm sure she's seen hundreds of naked boobs before!Jennihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16063074954994251356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-268200533467086358.post-52293308925776697752012-03-06T19:35:51.436-05:002012-03-06T19:35:51.436-05:00Yes Mam!....Yes Mam!....CurvyCurlyTrinihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05742255097938561149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-268200533467086358.post-2363147095189592072012-03-05T18:02:49.645-05:002012-03-05T18:02:49.645-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.新車バナナチキン川https://www.blogger.com/profile/01471654861636868433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-268200533467086358.post-269537885549437652012-03-05T02:44:48.836-05:002012-03-05T02:44:48.836-05:00OMG!!

I was just looking at many of the plus size bloggers Outfit of the day posts that I have favorited in my bloglovin and I often remark to myself... nice outfit!...but if only she had a better bra, smoother, undergarments, underwear (booo to panty lines), etc. the foundations!! <br /><br />For me it was overhearing/watching an Oprah episode on bras and she used the consultants at Nordstrom. A few years later (I know shame) I planned a "me" day and went to my local nordstrom and knew when i got off the elevator on "the floor" that is was going to be a different and special experience.<br /><br />First of all, Nordstrom's customer service is stupid!!! (By this i mean its great!) You get a stellar greeting, a robe, a nice sized fitting room, warm hands, no groping (they teach you to do all the adjusting yourself) and no judgment on your current, whack, i mean ill-fitting bra.<br /><br />Oh and the best part! The same line of European Bras that Intimacy stocks without the extreme overhead. (I bought 4 bras for $200 in the Elomi European brand in their sizing which is different than US sizing) And Nordstrom caters to the plus size, AND plus size maternity!! The bras range from about $48 and up depending on the detail you want.<br /><br />They will even save your bra size, favorite garments and wishlist in the system for future repurchasing. You dont even have to go back in the store, you can call the store, (any store) give them your info, pick the bra you want to reorder and they will ship it to your house!!<br /><br />The only problem is that when my breasts got lifted off of my stomach, I had a waist AND I got to see how ummm large my stomach was. Which made me go directly to the shaper section, lol. <br /><br />But yeah, yo, with a new bra, folk thought I lost weight. #blankstare<br /><br />So if there isn't an Intimacy near folks, please send them to Nordstrom!!<br />OH and if you are near Philadelphia, go to the one in Cherry Hill, NJ its much better than the one in King of Prussia, PA :)eknewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16628780206546029986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-268200533467086358.post-1270642971158104732012-03-04T19:00:58.067-05:002012-03-04T19:00:58.067-05:00You are so right!!

I don't think that's where they were meant to be. Knowing better will make you want to do better. Now they can't say they didn't know. I learned too that I am gonna have to make a trip to Intimacy. I do everything possible to keep the ladies up but I haven't gone to Intimacy yet. Gonna have to budget. I like your readers idea of buying gift cards on a weekly to earn extra spending as well as soften the blow of forking over $100 for one bra all at once.

In the beginning, I had been going to TJ Maxx or Marshalls for bras (that's when I purchasing bras were an after thought), but then I decided to go and get fitted at for a bra. I think if you are fitted correctly and and find the bra that best for your body type, Lane Bryant can work for you. I personally LOVE Lane Bryant bras, but only two types from their collection works for me.L.Duncan@Home23DuncanBoyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17226427401291758923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-268200533467086358.post-64471579225168189852012-03-04T08:28:37.128-05:002012-03-04T08:28:37.128-05:00This is a great post.

Yes there are expensive like hell, but ladies here is a little trick I use. <br /><br />When I had visited Intimacy bras in NYC a few years back. I was introduce to a company called Goddess Bra. These bra are the truth.com. I am a size 44H.<br /><br />What I did I went to Intimacy bras got fitted an purchase my bras online. (Don't judge, I was on a college student budget)<br /><br />I used bareNecessities.com<br /><br />Also, SimplyYoursLingerie has a youtube channel, there is a great video on Bra fitting guide. <br /><br />I hope this help. <br /><br />P.S: it a shame that Lane Bryant, Avenue and many other plus size stores sells the worst bras in the world.CurvyCurlyTrinihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05742255097938561149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-268200533467086358.post-31031784046210624832012-03-03T19:55:17.593-05:002012-03-03T19:55:17.593-05:00It's European sizing.

I was reading up on the sizing and it really kind of goes by your shirt size and height than traditional measurements. I still consider myself a small chested woman, but that's my size.

LOL..Anyway..I went from a 44 DDD to a 40 G. Yes, they are kind of pricey but I've gotten simple bras as low as $60 there and gorgeous ones as high as $160. I try to keep 4 on rotation at all times and add new ones every 6-8 months. A trick I've learned to soften the blow of the price is to buy thier gift cards online. they usually have some sort of bonus like $20 free with every $100 and that is a cumulative $100...so...if you buy $25 gift cards every other week, you'll get the bonus when you've reached $100. I know that's kinda round about, but I think every woman can afford $25. If you stretch out the price it doesn't seem so bad. Happy Boob Lifting! :)glittergirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03448229292008342964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-268200533467086358.post-86815356996076588632012-03-03T18:18:19.910-05:002012-03-03T18:18:19.910-05:00You went from a C to an F?
