The voting was a little quirky (it only wanted me to choose one option!), so I don’t know if it went through.
My new favorite bra brand is Simone Perele, which comes in the size I need (a 32E).

To be honest, I find bra shopping particularly difficult– big band, not exactly massive knockers to go with it. So I don’t have a favorite brand.
However, if anything from my recent figleaves.com order is a winner, I’ll be sure to share!

Same with voting quirk.
But, I’ve always hated bra shopping. Yuck. I will say, however, that when I was younger I went for cheaper bras like Hanes or Maidenform, and when I started buying my own clothing, I started getting Cacique bras from Lane Bryant, and THEY ARE THE BEST. They’re often cute, come in the right size, and actually DO something for the girls.

Same quirk here.
I love Elle Macpherson’s line of bras. I wear a 32B, on the small side, and they’re the perfect cut for the, um, less well-endowed among us. Plus, they actually have small sizes that come in cute colors without a ton of padding, and I love that!

I don’t have a fav brand…just whatever fits right today. After nursing two kids I’ve been through a lot of sizes though I landed right back at tiny.

I’m a 36B, but a 34C in some cuts. I also think that they are starting to fuck with bra sizes like they fucked with jean sizes 30 years ago — Bs are becoming Cs, etc, etc so that while the actual measurements aren’t changing women “feel better” about their boobs or something. I couldn’t confirm this for sure, but I know my measurements haven’t changed but I’m wearing more and more Cs (I’ll be the first one to admit I am NOT a C).
I mostly shop at Gap Body. Their bras range from sporty to casual to sexy-oo-la-la, and they are comfortable. They have a huge range of styles and colors and always have matching panties. And they are great quality — they last way longer than any other bra I’ve have. Best part: no effing padding.
I was sick of Victoria’s Secret when I realized for a 36B my only options there were padded or push-ups, neither of which I like. I was actually offended that VS thinks that my boobs aren’t good enough and need to be padded to be okay.
And then I found out that they are horrible to their workers, paying them nothing trapping them in the factory, stealing their passports, not giving them meals and lunch breaks, etc — and now there’s no way I’d shop there.

I had the same problem with Victoria’s Secret! Seriously, just because I’m a B cup doesn’t mean I want a bra that could double as a life preserver in an emergency. My boobs may be small, but they’re just fine as-is, thank you very much.

I am a 36D although one of my boobs is a little bigger than the other so it spills over bit, but nothing too major.
My favorite bras are by Calvin Klein. They’re soft and comfortable and pretty but perfect under white/sheer tops and tees.
Plus if you look for them in Marshalls and TJMaxx you can find them for as cheap as 10 bucks!

as a 32dd (and sometimes 30E) i’m a HUGE fan of the reasonably priced Freya brand. Freya can be found at nordstrom rack or on sale online pretty consistently. the bras are supportive (which is necessary) and plainly gorgeous (which is nice). at my size (and yes its natural, and yes, i’m working on it trying to feel it is less of a curse -though it will never be fun to dress around my size as i’m slim everywhere else) finding something pretty, supportive, and affordable feels like an amazing treat. a few years ago you could only find ugly support bras in my size

I used to work for Trashy Diva at their lingerie store, so I got to try on a lot of different brands there, and my absolute favorite, for both fit and design and quality was Huit. This French line was a little pricey but definitely not the most expensive we carried (hello Chantal Thomass!), and you could look at similarly priced lines side by side with Huit, and I just thought that the materials and construction always seemed higher quality. I’m pretty sure all of their bras are made in Europe as opposed to China or somewhere. And they’re just so pretty! And pretty in a modern, sophisticated way.
I will admit though, that on a daily basis, especially during summer, I’m partial to American Apparel’s cross-back bra. I have like 5 of them that I wear almost every day. I think I’m at the cut-off for sizing though… I wear a 34C and I have to get a large in their bra (even though I wear a size 4 in dresses & pants!).

La Senza had a fab line in 2006 called Ipec or Itec or some BS like that
Came in black, nude and patterned “lace” pink
I bought all 3. Wire-free, molded, seamless cups
BEST FREAKING BRAS IN THE WORLD
And now they’ve gone and effed them up, using cheap materials, in super bright colours and they don’t feel soft or comfy any more, but hard and icky

I’ve always HATED bra shopping….too many brands, too many subtly different styles, hard finding sizes. But, I finally found my go-to style and brand: Modern Movement, their “seamless” looking bra. The straps are thicker than average, but they are GREAT! The problem is they only sell them in Dillards (that I know of) and online, so that means sales aren’t too common. Oh well, they’re worth it!

I think this is a great question. :] I’m often curious of things like this myself.
I am a 34B, & the only bras I wear are American Apparel’s criss-cross bras. They don’t have underwire, so they feel very comfortable & natural.

Calvin Klein bras for me. The fabric is unbelievable, and soft. They all feel like your favorite worn in bra, minus the loss of form or escaping underwires.
I’m a 32 A, so for me it’s not about support, it’s about finding a bra true to the way my chest naturally falls. When you have a small chest, most companies want to stuff you with all kinds of foam and uplift and nonsense, but CK bras don’t do that.
They really celebrate the small chested woman, who WANTS to be the small chested woman.

I am an A cup and I love Gap Body bras, esp. the deep plunge push up one. I have it in 4 colors, and has maintained the shape over time pretty well considering it is a padded bra. I hate strapless bras (do they not stay up on anyone else? it is a total sag fest when I wear one!), so I wear nipple covers instead….I like the silicone ones at Bristols6.com the best

Every year I buy a Victoria’s Secret bra as my staple – I actually only own two bras! But when I was in New Orleans, I went to Trashy Diva lingerie and tried on a jezabel satin pinup bra. LOVE! It fit perfectly in ways that the VS never has. As soon as I have a bit of cash, I fully intend to buy something amazing from them.

Try Pleasure State, its an Australian brand so you have to get it shipped, but they are well made with the most beautiful fabric and go from size 30A to 44 GGG. They are great to wear.

I’ve only been able to find decent fitting bras that don’t cost a million dollars at Torrid or Lane Bryant, mostly because of the DDD size. Awesome. My favorite bra ever is from Torrid, because it doesn’t look matronly, which is kind of difficult with larger sizes. However, I had one other bra from there and it sucked – it was some sort of demi plunge that was cut really weird, and the end result was quadboob with loose cup space by my armpits. Ick.

My favorite bra is Barely There underwire bra. I think I finally figured out I’m a 36B and that’s only by having 34Cs and 34Bs and 36Bs in my drawer and finally measuring myself. They feel the best and I don’t fall out of the tops of them.
I have a lacy one on right now but usually, no always, stick to padded because I’m always “cold”. Oh, heck – I have very pointy nipples that are always alert. Always. And one time I got soaked on a water ride and didn’t have the most secure bra on with a yellow t-shirt over that. Let’s just say the crowd got a show that day. So I make sure I’m prepared to anything.

I was “self-measured” for a long time. Recently, I went to Nordstrom’s bra department in search of a new strapless (yes, the dreaded strapless bra!) I told the woman that I am a 32B. She insisted on measuring me, so I obliged. I was informed that I really am a 30C! I never thought I would be a C. Never-ever. But the bra that came in the size I needed was around $80. I could not justify spending that much, so I went with a CK strapless in 32B. It’s just a little looser fit, but still gets the job done a half the price.
Basically, my size is only found in European brands. :/ Come on America!!!

I just bought four bras from Lane Bryant, since I need larger ones. They just a had a “buy two, get two free” sale. I’d never considering going to Lane Bryant since I’m too small for their clothes, but since I need larger bras, I decided to give these a try. I’d gotten bras at different places before yesterday.
