I need some new ones. I need some lift majorly after BFing. I always just wear VS. But I am assuming there are lots of better options.
-
Calvin Klein and Natori, currently. I like chantelle bras too. I hate VS bras--they never fit me right!
I usually go to nordstrom rack and buy a bunch, they're way cheaper there ($20 there vs $60 in the dept store!).
ETA I would also get remeasured. I was just remeasured finally, and I am a totally different size than I was while nursing, and than pre preg. Plus my boobs are bigger, but somehow I now need a push up bra, because they are way sadder
-
Chantelle. Absurdly expensive, but worth it.
-
Another vote for Chantelle! I also wear Calvin Klein.
The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is a good time to get them at 30-40% off. I can never find my size at the Rack, though I always look!
-
@septca: Holy moly, Chantelle bras are life-changing!
The thing is, if you've like me and have an average-sized band paired with absurdly large cups, bras are the last place you want to skimp out on. VS has never fit me well, and I can't even describe how much better I look in clothing when I've got a high-quality bra on. They also tend to last longer as well.
It is worth every penny to go to a specialty lingerie shop and get fitted by a professional. They will be able to suggest bras that not only fit your straight-up size, but also some brands work better with differently-shaped breasts, so you'll eliminate spillover, armpit leakage and they will be way more comfortable!

Um Coobie. I don't do pricey bras, they'd just get all milky and bent up.
-
Le Mystere!
I used to wear VS, but I don't think they ever measured me correctly!
-
Big fan of my freya. Particularly the half cup.
I used to wear Le Mystere and Chantelle. I like them, too!
I got sized at Nordstrom,. them bought them on Amazon for $40-70
I also like the site brasihate.blogspot.com. She goes into details regarding style, shape, etc. It's been a really useful site for me!
-
Aerie prior to pregnancy, and now I wear Soma bras. I love them!
-
I wore Calvin/DKNY, etc for a long time but actually went back to VS, got measured, etc. I took A LONG TIME in VS and had to make several trips to exchange/return, but ultimately found a style I was very happy with in my size. I think I didn't like VS before b/c I didn't take the time to really try out different styles to find one that works for me.
-
I am pretty basic, I like Maidenform, but I do want to try Soma.
-
I was going to suggest VS, but keeping my eyes out for something else post weaning, whenever that is...
-
I just got fitted for proper, non-BFing bras this weekend and it was life changing! The ones I ended up buying were Elomi and Primadonna. Not cheap but SO worth it.
-
I got fitted at Soma almost a year ago and it was life changing. Now that I'm not nursing anymore I really want to go back and get remeasured.
-
Primadonna. I've tried Chantelle, Empriente, and a few others that produce small bands/large cup sizes but hands down Primadonna is the best for my body.
-
Another vote for Calvin Klein! I hate VS, they never fit me right.
-
I'm a huge fan of Le Mystere bras.
-
Vanishing back Soma bras
-
I really like the Freya Deco bra.
I used to wear all VS bras, but Ive become very disillusioned with the decrease in quality and increase in prices. I don't think the quality compares to other brands at the same price point, AT ALL. Their sales arent even as good as they used to be anymore.
-
I just wear VS. They had a sale and I stocked up on some $20 bras. Can't beat the price
I've never owned a truly nice, high quality bra.
-
I wear Cacique, by Lane Bryant. I'm not plus size, but they carry a huge range of bras for the amply endowed. I can always find my 36Fs there, and they aren't too pricey!
-
I only wear Warner's bras now, they are so comfy & fit me perfectly. I can often find them at tj maxx for $15 & they fit so much better than my crazy $$ ones from elsewhere. I've always hated VS, never fit me well & didn't seem to hold up (I do wash them in the washer, I hang them to dry though)
-
Vanity Fair -- they make 3 styles that I like and I'm probably going to cry a little if/when I change sizes or they get discontinued.
-
Le Mystere, DKNY, Freya, Chantelle, Natori. I'm a 34dd so i cant deal with cheap bras.
