Feeling foolish

[redbird]

I needed a rag, and not having one handy, grabbed (and cut up) what I thought was a no-longer-usable bra. On closer examination, it seems to be one that merely needed washing. (Now, of course, it is far from usable, having had a chunk cut out of the band.) This leads to wondering where the dead bra is (did I actually get sensible and throw it away?) and to the dismal realization that now I'm definitely having to go bra shopping, which is no fun at all.

I wonder if the front-closing sports bra I picked up at random at K-Mart a couple of weeks ago will do for all-day wear. For that matter, I wonder how many usable bras I actually own (things sometimes get tossed in a drawer and forgotten about, if they seem not quite right, but a bra that seems not quite right at one time may turn out to be okay six months, or two weeks, later).

ETA: I'm not particularly looking for sources of bras at the moment. However, if you feel so moved, it has to be 42C and non-underwire.

Bras

Have you tried Lands End for bras? Amazingly enough, they have a good selection of cotton bras, including ones large enough to fit even me. I get them at the outlet store here in Mpls, but they also sometimes have them on their overstock site. Or you could, G-d forbid get them retail.

Orchard Corset Center. They'll hook you up. They fit bras like no one else around, and they stock just about everything in the known universe. It's really just about the most painless bra shopping experience I've ever had.

I've heard nothing but good things about Decent Exposures (http://www.decentexposures.com/), if you like their styles.

I'm told their customer service is wonderful, too.

I understand that http://www.title9sports.com (http://www.title9sports.com) is a reliable and good source of bras. And they rate them by, well, umm, the "bounce" factor.
