okay, ladies, this is a very important topic.

the past 2 weeks, i've been on the search for the perfect or near perfect bra for my size 38D friends and i've finally found that body by victoria from victoria's secret is the most comfortable thing ever and fits perfectly! i was surprised since i heard it wasn't that great.

embrace, their new bra line i believe, was okay, but on the sides, it would stay open and that annoyed me.

what are your favorites? how often do you buy? how many do you have? do you dread shopping for them?

because it's so hard for me to find bras that fit perfectly, i buy them only when i need them.

if you feel comfy, let us know your size so we can help each other out with finding the right bras since we can compare!

Im addicted to buying Lingerie i love it, I can not walk past La Senza without going in. I guess I own around 40 bras

[spazbaby]

I like Calvin Klein and Wacoal. But I'm nowhere near a D!

[cottoncandy]

i like knickerbox and anne summers lingerie. note: not the crochless ones etc!

Jennifer, I love the body by victoria bras!! I used to have a stock-lot bra business and I sold a lot of them, the body bras were my best sellers. I gave up padding for the body by victoria bra, thats how much I like the shaping.

Before I had that business I only had probably 2 bras at any time. Now though, since I have a boxful, I expect when these wear out I'll be buying them like mad coz I am so addicted to changing colors every day. That day coming up kind of scares me tho, bras are not cheap!

I love VV bras. They give a nice shape and the material of the IPEX is really nice and seamless. I just have 5 of those, one is kinda ruined because i put it in the drier

[Becka]

i hate that, and the bra get all twisted w/ your socks " (

bluebird is it the body by victoria ipex you like? i've been wanting to try it actually, its a newer model than the one i'm one, but I was always concerned about the fabric as I like more matte fabric, are the ipex's shiny fabric?

I actually love the 3/4 cup Angel in IPEX, and yes, its a little shinny since it's nylon, lycra and spandex. It's very comfortable and it feels like part of your skin when you wear clothes. Im just 34C so I prefer that kind of cup than the full coverage bras like Body.
Now, I wanna try the Demi look by Body, I don't think its IPEX but it looks nice. I think it's as expensive as the IPEX and if Im not wrong that one is matte. More on the cotton side, lol.

This is all I needed to hear! I swear VS bras are just the best. We don't really have anything that compares, ever since I got my first VS bra, I've felt that the bras in our lingerie stores up here don't measure up at all in quality or fit.

[Cheebs]

I've got wayyyy too many. I love shopping for lingerie. I've probably got more bras than all my other clothes combined! I love Cotton Club, Cosabella and Chantelle. Haha, yes, I'm spoiled with expensive bras and panties but it helps that my aunt owns a lingerie store!

Oh, my size? I'm tiny. 32B

[Retro-Violet]

i love love love VS in general.
i have friends who dont believe me when i say i have a problem with it, until they see it in person. they have to like drag me out of the store so i dont spend all my money on stuff there and not have money for food for 2 weeks.

its a sick addiction. 3/4 of my bras come from there. and there body collection bras are totally awsome!

Yep, I'm pretty sure I hate you, Jennifer.

[Retro-Violet]

im also a 34B so dont worry. although one time i had a guy tell me my boobs where too small. needless to say, he got hit...alot....

[pieced]

I lovehaving luxurious underwears, so I like bra's that fit well, i.e lift and separates. I have 3 Calvin Klein ones, and I wear them very often. if I'm going on a night out of some special occasions, then I have very lacy and frilly bras e.g from Passionata. They make great lift and seperate bras...

I think the bra industry has a conspiracy going on just like the panty hose industry! LOL

I find that the best bras for me unfortunately tend to be expensive and that really sucks because you wear these contraptions every day so they should not cost a fortune! Its madness!

I like and wear the Victoria's Secret Body by Victoria - its the full coverage one with underwire & so far seems to be the one that fits me best. I definitely don't need padding, which practically every flipping bra seems to have these days and I definitely don't want one where your nips show through. I've tried their Ipex bra - its nice, but overpriced and not really supportive (you bounce around too much in this style).

But the thing is that bras wear out so fast! I wash them in a mesh lingerie bag on the gentle cycle too! Also, it seems whenever VS has a sale, its on the styles that I don't wear. Grr!

I've tried looking into other bras that offer better support - like Wacoal, for example, but damn - $60.00 for one bra! That's insane!

I should have been a bra designer!
