Department store cup sizes stop somewhere between a C and a DD in the 32 band size, and as near as I can tell I'd be a 32 DDD in most brands, although I'll see if the ladies at the store agree. I'm tired of wasting money on bras that I think are passable, only to find they are very painful or don't support me after one wear. I've found one that looks good and is supportive, but I think it was a manufacturer's fluke... and even then, it chafes more at the end of the day than I think it should. Quite frankly, if you are hand washing, bras last long enough to be worth $150. And I might as well get used to boutique shopping before I, hopefully, have babies in a few years and it's even more necessary! I can’t afford to go, but I can’t afford not to….

I can't agree more with how you feel after trying on a bra there. The owner and staff are all so friendly and make you feel like a million bucks (even when you're half naked in front of them), and really make you love every bit of yourself. I was lucky enough to have walked in there last year around this time and can't turn back now! I hope you keep treating the ladies to well deserved attire :) I came across your blog in trying to find the number for BraChic and stumbled upon the “In the News” section.

I have always choked on paying more than $40 per bra. But like a good bathing suit, I'm sure the ones over $100 are far better and much nicer on my self-esteem. I've just had my last baby and definitely NEED new bras. I'm heading out to that shop too! (You really should collect a commission cheque!). Good for you, girlfriend!

I think we had a conversation about proper fitting bras and clothing not that long ago.

I`ve heard a lot fo good things about Bra Chic. As soon as Marty finally gets a contract I think I might treat myself. That probably won`t be for another year of two though. So my giant boobs (I never lost my pregnant boobs, ugh) will have to suffer in cheap bras for a little longer. I would have never thought you were big chested when I met you at BOLO.
