Recommend good bra?

AllieGurl · Marc Jacobs

Well Calvin Klein makes a good bra, and so does the classic felina Style #6201. Both have wide bands, seamless and offer push up for us smaller busted gals.

Do you have a nordies near you? They stock both of them..

Collette · Chanel

I love GAP body bras, especially the ful support hidden underwire one. It's very soft and comfortable, it's my every day bra!

I much prefer the European brands as the quality and engineering seems to be much better. For mid-range, I would suggest panache or fantasie and for the higher end, Rigby & Peller and Lejaby. Actually for your size Lejaby might be your best bet. They make stunning bras and the materials and workmanship are very good.

Here is a link to an online store with a number of their styles.

I have a similar issue. I am a 36C. I wear maidenforms racerbacks, because i was tired of fishing for my bra strap constantly. They are great for not causing indents or rolls and think the racerback is really great and comfy. I realize that some shirts cannot be worn with the racer back so I have recently tried the VS secret embraced and was pretty impressed. I quit buying vs bras for the falling strap reason and these have been pretty good.

I just bought a Lejaby and I am surprised at how different it is to my American bras. It just fits better, is comfortable, the straps stayed on me and I even wore it during a dance class. They are also incredibly beautiful.
