Ronnie, I have two of the Victoria's Secret bras:

Body by Victoria® IPEX™ full coverage bra which is very nice and comfortable.

Angels by Victoria's Secret® Secret Embrace™ invisible lace push-up bra, which is also fairly comfortable considering I got it a size smaller than I normally would get for a better push-up.

The SA's at VS are very good to work with and it does not matter your mode of presentation. I have bought and tried on bras in both male and female modes. I have even had a SA ask me if I wanted to try on a bra while in male mode, and I told her I was just there to look at the new bra that I had received an email on. She did not even wait for an answer, but asked what size I needed. I am not sure how she knew as I was in all male attire including a dress shirt and slacks, but she did know as there was no hesitation in her asking. I was just another customer to her and treated like that.

I also have one of the Angels by Victoria's Secret® Secret Embrace™ bras and it's one of my favorites! I love the look and feel, and think it provides at least as good support for breast forms as other bras I've owned. If two out of two Kimberly's agree, how can you go wrong?

LOL, Thanks Kimberly for the laugh and welcome to the forum.

For those that do not fit into the VS sizing which tops at 36 in many styles, 38 in some and 40 in just a few styles; Lane Bryant also has some nice bras for the fuller figures that are very comfortable also.

I have a hard time finding bras. I wear a 42b and have to get them online, but trying to get them at a store is difficult and the selection is very limited.

new bra

Post by Phylis Anne »

since i have found one of the last lingerie shops here in brooklyn i have bought two bras from them .the first was an olga 36-c and just this past week i went in and bought a carnival bra also 36-c.as i told the sales lady the bra was for me she said so what ,so i showed her my bra strap so she could see the type of bra that i wanted ,so she showed me the carnival and when i put it on it fit perfectly.i think that its just a matter of time before all these shops are history so we should hopefully keep them in business for as long as possible. love phylisanne ``5 ***()***

I get most of my bras from Lane Bryant (catalog)....good fit and there is a lot of selection and the price is right, they have a lot of sales....also if you go to one of their stores the clerks are nice and the store in Hagerstown has a male clerk, or he was there over Christmas...

I bought several nice bras in size 40a from http://www.barenecessities.com/, my wife said they fit nice.
When using breast forms I measure a 40 c and can choose from a wider variety.

bras

I usually purchase my bras from Macys. They have a wide variety. Sales people are OK with whatever I purchase and dont bat an eye. I am a size 40B but can wear 38C. Best fit is in Warner and Olga. ,,Janet

I was wearing a 42 B bra, but recently was measured by a fitter, and the lady suggested that I go to a 42C.

I have had reasonably good luck finding them in Sears here in Ontario, and also in Haines - Bali outlet stores when i am in the states.

I find the 42C much more comfortable, and with the little larger size find my breasts are finding their place and filling them very nicely

Sizing has to be the worst in bras!
Sizing differs in most womens clothes, and from brand to brand, but I have found such wide swings in bra sizing. After awhile and trial and error, I have gotten used to different brands sizing. I know I'll need a 38 in one brand versus 36 in another.
I have found the major brands, Warners, etc. to be most consistent in their sizing. I buy mine wherever I find one that I just can't live without! :lol:
But, I gotta have the matching panties too!
