OT--big girl comfy bras--WARNING

[Guest guest]

hi,

well, it's that time again; time for the big gal here to go underwear

shopping. sigh. which, i have to say, is worse than swimsuit shopping.

i'm not sure if it was here on this site...but someone a year or so ago

told me about a place or two on line to get brassieres for big gals

that actually FIT and are COMFY; i have been tempted at times to forego

the social norm and just go braless, at my age and size, lol, not

pretty and much to everyone's horror, i'm sure, but i can't BEAR these

horrible, stretched out contraptions that no longer fit and are the

bain of my daily existence any longer...

any help anyone can offer...PLEASE!!!

forgive the gross OT but i don't know where else to turn...desperation

brings me to post here.

of course you can always email me privately. probably a good idea!!

p.s. by the way, someone here a year ago DID recommend Winter Silks

for undergarments in the way of a split skirt slip for thigh

chafing...again, sorry for the additional disturbing mental image, but

i wanted to express my eternal gratitude to whomoever you were; i just

placed another order to them yesterday, my fourth or fifth.

,

Try this search link I just did on Google:

http://www.google.com/search?q=natural+fiber+clothing & hl=en & lr= & start=10 & sa=N

Also, there's a company in New Jersey called Janice's. They sell all natural

fiber clothing and might have bras.

There's also another company that I know has comfortable bras and if I find

their catalogue I'll pass the info along.

Thanks for the tip about the slip, by the way...It's just what I needed.

Blessings,

Nenah

I get my bras at biggerbras.com; I'm...well, let's just say I'm

ridiculously large in the cup department. Fancee Free are the brand I

use; they have no underwires but are still supportive. Pretty

comfortable all things considered. You may also be thinking of Decent

Exposures, which makes leisure-style bras. I don't find them as

supportive for large cup sizes but for other folks they work great.

For comfy organic cotton bras try Blue Canoe:

Wow, i'm so impressed with all your answers; i've got a lot to go on

now. i'll let you know how i make out...will take awhile from perusing

to ordering to receiving.

thanks SO much!

this is such a supportive place to be, even if this might be

inappropriately OT!

laura

p.s. i wish i could just live in my nightie til it comes in the

mail...in the old days, we would just wear robes or saris or something

ancient and drapy? must have been nice, for that reason alone.

despite the inconveniences of ancient life. actually i have no idea

what i'm talking about.

A couple of years ago i bought the " unbra " from Decent Exposures and it was

comfortable, all cotton but doesn't give much support. They have a couple of

others that do have more support but haven't tried them.. Since i started

having trouble with exema last year i have trouble wearing ANY bra and tend

to wear loose undershirts.
