My girls need a lift! None of the bras I bought before and during pregnancy fit properly. I have a beloved pair of Spanx, but those don't fit either.
What brand do you recommend?

Haha- love the title of this thread.
I am no help. I wear saggy nursing bras or tanks 98% of the time, and one new underwire bra that fits in my current size but could certainly be more supportive. I plan to get fitted properly after C is fully weaned. My ribs expanded durin pregnancy and are still one band size up from before.

hahaha, I thought this thread was going to be about how much you can lift postpartum, haha.
I have no advice. I wore nursing bras pretty much exclusively once Xander was born. Around 6 weeks, I did go to Motherhood to get fitted for a nursing bra, and now I wear the ones I got there pretty much 100% of the time...

Have you tried googling for a local shop that specializes in bras? I know most areas have someone who will stock harder to find sizes and styles. Nordstrom will convert bras to nursing bras for you and they also have a decent online selection of nursing bras.

@SugarplumsMom: I've had really good luck before with Wacoal bras. Super supportive and if you want something pretty AND supportive, try their "B. Tempt'd" line.
Are you smaller, larger, want underwire or want to avoid it? I also recently ordered an underwire sports bra from Amazon that people in reviews were saying gave them their high school boobs back (very high and lifted and seperated). BUT, being a sports bra it minimized the girls (which I like) and the straps are wide and super visible and only work with full coverage tops. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001ULCBG4/ref=s9_hps_bw_g193_i2?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=merchandised-search-3&pf_rd_r=0EF24T8GEMT0FT9WHMFZ&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=1615721202&pf_rd_i=2603426011

I went to a local shop, I bought two bras in the same style but different colors, the brand is Triumph.
I also have two bras from C&A that I really like.

I highly recommend the Dream Tisha Bra from Le Mystere. Light padding, lifts, and separates. It's one of the best bras that I have ever owned.

If you are larger chested - and by the awesome title of this thread, I assume you are - and are nursing, I recommend the Bravado Bliss (I am a 34 H/I)... Not nursing, my go-to brand is Chantelle.

@Cole: @Anagram: I'm on the larger end. I'm actually pretty embarrassed by sad state of my boobs and I know I should be fitted, but I want to find a bra that remotely fits right before I gather up the courage to go in person.
@Ocean girl: @MrsKoala: @looch: I'm going to search for all the bras you all suggested and see if any are available where I am. Thank you!

An uplifting UPDATE
I found a good deal on Zulily and ordered 2 of them. HALLELUJAH! I just got back from a day of walking and goodness, I am so very happy with one of the bras I bought. It's amazing how a good fitting bra can affect your overall outlook and feel. I am kicking myself for waiting so long!
It's not even a special bra - it's just a regular 'ol bra with good support. I just had to update. I feel at least 20 years younger in that department! No exaggeration! I'm a grandma no longer!
Eta: I ended up getting a Sculptresse by Panache in Pure Lace (non-padded t-shirt bra). It appears to run small, the reviews I read recommend a band size up.
