Bra post #10932
I've been looking through the bra-tagged posts for the last hour and a half and couldn't find what I was looking for. I need some advice about bras. (I even found one of my old posts about bras dated almost a year ago!)
For reference, I think I wear a 46C. That's the size I'm wearing now, but the underwire is digging into my armpits.

I know that problem well, I'm a 46H and I have a horrible time finding a cup size that fits and is comfortable under my arms. I have moderate luck with Layne Bryant full coverage bras.
And this place in Indianapolis is also good and came highly recommended to me (I saved the post it, which is why I have all the details), and I've gotten things there before, and they have a wide range of sizes like A to an M, I think. Its called:
The Special Woman
8770 Commerce Park Place #A
Indianapolis, IN 46268
317-876-3770
Hope that helps!

Sorry, it just feels so unusual (freakish) sometimes, it was nice to find someone else!

And I too feel like a freak sometimes, so it's nice to know other people are the same size too!

But THANK YOU for telling me about Worlds Best Bras. I can't believe they're based in Fredericksburg. I searched for lingerie stores and came up with nothing. Yay for custom fittings!!!!

But the very very best bra fitting ever was at Dor-Ne Corset Shoppe (http://www.dornecorset.com/) in Silver Spring. It's a little shop, easy to drive by, and they have almost no merchandise out on the floor. Instead, you wait for a dressing room and a salesperson (who I think are all women -- there was a guy working the cash register when I was there, but that was it). My salesperson was this older woman who measured me, looked at my current bra, and got me a great bra on the second try, which is tantamount to a miracle. It's really, really worth the drive. Their bras are somewhat expensive, but once you know what brand/style/size you're looking for, you can buy more online.

Anyway, I've never had a fitting here in MonCo, but there is a little bra shop in Stone Harbor, NJ that was just AWESOME. Unfortunately, the shops there are *extremely* seasonal and Winter just ain't their season, so I don't know if it would be open.
If you get to take a South Jersey adventure and end up in the Sea Isle/Avalon/Stone Harbor/Wildwoods area, it would be on the bay side of 96th street, like a half a block north. Of course, I don't remember what it's called, but they put me in a bra that made me look two sizes smaller in my waist because it actually fit correctly and put my boobs in a better place.
