When you go to LaSenza for example and look at the smaller sizes it seems like they have more lace and just general cute things about them! I didn't notice until my friend pointed it out last time we went and she was right! I notice bigger sizes are plainer!
I was shocked to find that I fit into something from Wal-Mart that isn't beige. I mean.... it's gray, but gray is progress. Esp. since the shops like Lane Bryant just keep getting less and less reliable to fit.
I was a DD before I got pregnant, and I had a hard time finding a comfy bra at LaSenza, but now they don't have any that fit me.. So I'm doomed to walmart bras or paying a lot more than 50$:(
Addition Elle is really expensive too. I've lost some weight and now the only bras I fit into are plain and boring. Their larger sizes are cute and sexy. :( La Senza tries to convince me that I can fit into their bras but their straps are too thin and cut into my shoulders.
Granted it's not a "cute" bra, but still, two bucks.
However, I can't necessarily guarantee anything if you're well endowed.
I'm not, so it works for me.
