I Need BRA Help!!

Okay ladies,
I really need to find a good bra. Over the years I have always tended to go to Victorias Secret. I have found some bras that are okay but I do not believe that their products are really for me. My bust size last I measured (which was just a few months ago) was a 36C. I think I may be a 34 now but my cup size is a full C. After having kids, as we all know the breasts pay a price. I would say that although mine are somewhat full, they sag!! I need a bra that lifts them up to give them that nice full and perky look but the trick is that I also need good support and coverage so that they stay in place!! Those so called push up bras make my boobs squish together and push up but if I so much as turn my body and inch or bend over, they sort do that half way popping out thing that REALLY bugs me. Needless to say, it looks and feels very uncomfortable. However, the full coverage bras just don't really give me enough lift. Does anyone know where I am coming from?? I need some suggestions from anyone who may have found a bra somewhere that they LOVE and that does what I am wanting!! Comfort is number one but I need to look good in my clothes too!! Please help. Thanks to anyone that has any advice for me.

What can I do next?

I know exactly what you are talking about I am a 38DD and I have the same problem. I used to buy all of my bras at Victoria Secrets but then they started making bra's that just were not for me. They are more geared to a smaller bust size. I did finally return to VS a few months ago and found a bra that I love (the body by Victoria, full coverage, under wire bra). It is very comfortable, separates, and I do not fall our of it (like you mentioned). It does not give me as much lift as I would like, but it is enough to not sag. I really love this bra, and I am very picky about bras! I would also recommend Frederick's of Hollywood. I have not bought a bra there in a while, but last I remember they sell wonderful bras! They last a LONG time, and give you lots of lift. I just wore out one of the bras from Frederick's that I have had for at least 6 years. Good luck shopping, I know it can be frustrating.

Loretta's Intimates is the place outside of Collin Creek Mall (back behind Ulta on the west side of the building). I went in there pre-children and the lady asked what size I needed. I told her a 36B. She said I looked like a 38D. I thought she was crazy but tried them on anyway. She was so right. They are great. You can use them to measure you and buy one of their bras then take your correct measurements anywhere els. Good luck!

Hi D.,
After my sister had her last baby, she went to Neimans and she said it was fantastic! Their bras are close to the price of Victoria Secret--also, they measure and really take alot of time to help you find the right bra. If you have to pay $10-15 extra than what you were going to spend, it's worth it to get an expert's help & advice. good luck.

There is a place outside of Collin Creek mall and they will size you. They have a great selection.
Also, there is a lady at Dillards who sizes you too.
I have a terrible time finding a comfy bra that fits correctly. Mine need lifting too and lately it has been hard to find the right one. Then I got sized and found out I had gone up a size in the cup since Ihad my last one and nw I have a bra that fits great and holds them up!!
