same here - no bra...I guess that top you posted is one-size fits all? I don't see any place to select size

there are sizes, small medium large... There's a little box under the coupon to select size. It isn't super supportive and I don't think I'll actually wear it to swim but it at least makes me look presentable. I searched for tee shirts with built in bras and eventually found this.

I loved when we lived in the country and I didn't have to wear a bra while walking around our property.

I don't go anywhere away from home without a bra but I would if I could get away with it.

If someone drops by, I cross my arms or disappear into the bedroom to get my bra.

I generally remove all jewelry and makeup when I get home and change into leggings, a wireless bra, and a t-shirt or sweatshirt. I have a fair number of dry cleaned items that I wouldn't want to get stained or carry food odors.

But I never leave the house (except to garden or exercise) without a planned outfit, makeup and jewelry.

Same here. Comfort at home. I will not leave the house without my makeup done, jewelry, and matching outfit. I never know who I might run into to. :smile:

I'm getting tired of underwire bras but when I've tried on wireless ones they just flatten me

I don't like bra shopping. I've been wearing the same wired style for years. Every time I believe some hype and buy something else, I am always disappointed. I've thought about wearing a sports bra around the house but they are too hard to put on.

LOL....I have a few sports bras but the only one I wear is the one with the clasp in back....the ones that go over your head are hard to put on, esp in hot weather

I sometimes watch QVC or HSN though I never buy anything. I've seen bras on there that are wireless and they claim are wonderful but I don't want to buy one (and the prices are no bargain) and have to send it back. So I resist the hype

One thing I've learned is to never buy a bra that doesn't have separate band and cup sizes. Some of those they advertise ignore cup size, just assume everyone with the same measurement around will wear the same size. They insist it is so stretchy it will fit everyone. It doesn't.

I keep thinking maybe I should go to some store like Nordstrom and look. but they don't really have competent help so all you would get is a larger selection of full price stuff

When I got my first bra, my mom took me to a lingerie store where they gave you individualized attention. They measured you and brought in bras they knew would fit you. The bad part was that they were only in white and looked like armor. I was 11 and already in a C cup. In more recent times, I've gone to Victoria's Secret with my daughters. They measured us and consistently came up with the wrong sizes for us!

I have fond memories of going shopping with my mom in the 60s. We would go to a department store. They put us in a large dressing room, then the sales person would bring in dresses she had carefully selected for my mom before we even got to the store. We never looked at the racks. Everything was brought into the dressing room. (My mom would always use the same sales person. I remember she had concentration camp numbers tattooed on her arm.)

I think of Victoria's secret as more for fashion bras - not for support for us bigger women.

I live in JJwinks short dresses with their leggings or their tops with various lounge pants and a hoodie. Their "light hug" shelf bra doesn't do enough for my big, saggy girls but their loungewear is comfortable and lasts a long time. If I expect any company though, I'll put on a sports bra with a back clasp. If there's unexpected company I cross my arms and keep conversation short. Most of my "outside" bras are PrimaDonna with side support. They lift my girls and keep them from spilling out the side.

I've been wearing VS Dream Angels for years. They come in a triple D. I started wearing them because I was so excited to finally get to wear pretty bras even in my size.

I've tried a few other brands that didn't work. I've been too lazy to look for something more appropriate for my age.

Get an appointment with a bra fitter. I shopped many times in SD and they have qualified personnel.
A good bra will run you about $70 full price. But they have so many sales, I got mine for 48.
It makes a huge difference, imho.
I might be wearing muumuus at home but my girls are supported.:blah:
