I am flat chested kinda with a BIG BAND area.My brother use to tell me looked like a boiled egg with 2 strings tied around it.Well,we were kids then,but same still holds.I re-make my own.I get "Rhonda Shear",and get her other one,the sports bra.They are so comfy,Rhonda Shear {on ebay,way cheaper than HSN}and take the padding out of the one.They have a WIDE elastic lace pretty bras.And go up to 4 X which really stretch.And if the straps fall,{of which hers don't}I use a string,or safety pin and tie them.Around home,I'm bra-less.Period!When it's 124 degrees in the shade,with 100% humidity,like it is here in the summertime,no bra is coming near me.Oh,I forgot.I also in a pinch,use a pr of cotton panties.Boy shorts,or regular.I cut a slit in the crotch,and cut the front lower.Now,there's a comfy cheap sports or sleep bra.And use new ones out of the package.As I got some boy shorts and didn't like them,so made bra's out of them.Since then,I also made them out of briefs.Perfect fit!And NO riding up!And no worry about straps falling.They can't+

We have this one bra that almost every woman with a larger bust walks out loving, has generous straps without being overbearing and good support.

I definitely think people should give themselves the best chance and get fitted right because the look of relief on a woman's face when she tries on the right bra to the point she walks out the store with that one on instead of her old bra is well worth the pain of trying it on and the store assistant giving you way too many to try on. Good luck ladies :)

i went to bra fitter, a speciality shop..cost me 70 bucks, eventully bought 2 of them. i love them..i was so far off in the size i was wearing. so worth the price. hand wash, and told me NOT to use the famous hand wash stuff. but to use baby laundry detergent. (or the bra wash they were selling.)

All of you are too funny - should have known the messages would be great on this board.
DogHouseMom - you said it all, I am still giggling and it's all 100% true!
Jim's Gem - I think I will stick with Godiva chocolates. Besides, wasn't Lady Godiva the woman who rode through town on a horse, naked? Perhaps she got home and realised the need, after being on a horse, and invented bras?
Do bras have a patron saint?
FavoriteFabrics - Thank you. I think I will try the cotton bra you recommended. I forgot some more complainte

Sorry, my finger touched something wrong...
complaints about the damn things - hot in the summer and sometimes itchy!
Remember those cotton (woven cotton, not knit) bras with the spiral seaming on the cups...Der Valkyrie comes to mind...they were so itchy and when washed, the fabric shrank slightly between the seams so you got a ruched effect...
