I finally found a great bra line - Prima Donna - my favorite is the Madison style. They are pricey, but oh so comfortable.
I ordered tons of bras from www.herroom.com before I found this one. They have a great return policy. Carol |

I was wearing the wrong bra for years until I was professionally fitted. Made a big difference. My favorite daily (non-workout) bra style is Body by Victoria Perfect Coverage. https://www.victoriassecret.com/bras...alogueType=OLS |

I tried literally dozens of expensive department store brand name bras, and none of them fit right or were comfortable. Then I went to Target, and fell in love with the Gilligan & O'Malley lightly lined demi bra. I wear these almost daily. Sometimes I wear a Genie Bra.

I struggled for years to find a bra that fit - buying one after another, all recommended by the professional fitters at our local Dillards. I've decided that these folks did the best they could, given the sizes they had available to sell, but they didn't have much of anything for those of us who wear a small band size and big cup size. They had me in 34's and 36's, when what I really needed was a 32 at best. Adjusting the cup size to compensate for going up a band size is not really an ideal solution. I've read that most American women wear a band size that is too big for them. http://www.herroom.com/bra-fitting-center,954,30.html has a lot of great information on finding a bra that fits you. Carol No financial interest in HerRoom, but a very satisfied customer! |

Getting fitted is a great starting point. Nordstrom does a greta job. But, even then, sizing may not be consistent from brand to brand. Even styles (full coverage vs, balconette vs. demi cup) can fit differently.
Get fitted, then try on some bras and buy what looks and feels best. |

After trying on pretty much every bra carried at Kohl's a few years back, I decided on barely there 4580 as my perfect bra. When I was smaller chested, I also liked barely there 4742 or barely there 4085 as a non-underwire alternative some days. The 4742 was apparently sadly discontinued in 2013. |
