Confound the Damn things!!!!! ARGHHHH!!!

I just bought a *real* bra for the first time in years. I normally wear soft comfy boob shelf making sports bras. The cup ones never fit right, so the plainer the better comfort for me. However, the sports bras don't show off my best attributes and give me that boob-shelf uni-boob look.

So I measured, and was all prepared, bought a real lift and support bra for 18hours worth of wearing. Functional with alittle lace to be sexy. The damn thing is the right size around and the cups are the right size but the thing still pokes and hurts anyway. Back to the sports bras, I guess.

You other Pixie Ladies have similar issues? How do you go about finding one that fits? how many of you have 23859628346592834 bras that are pushed to the back of your underware drawer that just have one minor flaw that makes them uncomfortable?

My problem? After a few washes, the underwire comes out! and it won't sew back in right...keeps poking through the mended area.

Gotta be careful, or the boob will deflate if poked too hard.

Lizz, my advice when it comes to bras is as follows:

1. Different brands fit differently, so experiement a little before you try.

2. Go to a good underwear department and get them to measure you. Preferably get measured by one of the older more experienced women, not a young slip of a thing.

3. At least until you are a better judge of what's going to be comfy long term, buy your bra from a proper corsetry manufacturer. Yes it will cost you BIG time, but what price comfy, beautiful shaped, well suported boobs?!

4. When you get to Britain, I recommend you try Fantasie, Freya (who are part of Fantasie in fact) Charnos, Rigby & Peller (they make bras for the Queen - expensive, but pretty while supporting like scaffolding - you may not have noticed but the Queen is pretty "stacked" herself!) Also, there's a company who operate mainly through catalogues and online called Bravissimo who stock all of those brands and more and are designed for those of us with more than average up top. They are definitely worth looking at once you are sure of your size. http://www.bravissimo.com/bravissimo/Default.aspx

5. When you get to Britain, remember that British sizes are slightly different and get measured.

6. We can always go shopping together sometime?! Mayhem and Fussy can wonder what's going on in the changing rooms without them! LMAO
