@Boogs: I was never topless for mine. I don't think? Maybe I blocked it from my memory.
I would think if they wanted to measure with no bra on you could at least wear a thin tank top and no bra?
Actually as I type I realize I don't remember at all if I was naked or not. So I'm curious if anyone else responds.

@SweetiePie: Lol! Now that I think about it at VS I did it once and they measured with my bra and some shirt they had in the fitting room on. The people I had were clearly incompetent because they measured me at two completely different sizes and neither sized bra fit well. I left super frustrated and haven't really tried since even though I really need new stuff.

@LCTBQE: I found this one too last night in my searching and I love the look of it (I never get lacey bras but this looks like a nice mix of casual and lace) but I'm worried the padding is too thick/sculpted. What do you think with your experience?

@SweetiePie: I haven't tried this one but it appears that all the magical features from the classic feathers bra that you linked to before have been paved over with foam and sculpty shit. try the first one.

@PeaceLily: the verdict on the Lilyette strapless is
I finally wore one all day today and I realized by 3pm (6 hours later) that I hadn't had to pull it up or readjust once! Now it's 5pm and it's starting to get a little uncomfortable but I think this is the time of day that ANY bra gets uncomfortable.
And I really do love the shape. It's not droopy but not really perky either. Just very natural for my 34Ds.

@SweetiePie: Thanks for the update! Sounds like a winner! It would be awesome to have a strapless bra I don't have to pull up every 20 minutes.

@SweetiePie: This thread reminded me that I own that strapless bra, and the other day I tried on a new cold shoulder shirt with the strapless bra-----then the kids did something crazy, I got distracted and never took it off--then cooked dinner, played with the kids, got them in bed, and then DID YOGA in it! I mean, obviously yoga isn't high impact, but when I was getting ready for bed I realized I had been wearing a strapless bra the whole time--and for a person with D-DD boobs, that's pretty amazing.

@Anagram: Yes exactly! I forgot I was wearing the strapless all day! It's seriously amazing and I'm considering buying multiples in case they ever discontinue!

My Big Boob Ladies who want natural looking but good support - THESE TWO!!! I ordered one of each andnim in love. I threw away my VS bras last night and I ordered 2 more of each. Unlined stretchy bras. No padding. No memory foam bullsht.
They're on a lot of discount sites (rack, 6pm, etc) but I'm sure full priced too and I would 100% pay full price.

@SweetiePie: thank you
I'm still nursing, but when I finish, I will be looking at this again.
