I just wanted to share that I found a great bra! I wear a 32A (and am really in between a 30 and a 32) and I hate underwire.

I found this Spanx bra

http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/spanx-bra-llelujah-soft-cup-bra/2984065?origin=category&resultback=0

Which is comfortable and does not show through t-shirts and fits perfectly! The two downsides are cost (ack, over $60) and that it is not pretty.

I am plotting trying to save a few pennies and find a deal if I can and get at least two more. :)

Bookmarking for later...

Sounds like a great find...but I'm not sure I could bring myself to wear something made by Spanx bc I think of them as using synthetic uber-lycra/spandex-ey fabric that would be unbreathable and constricting. Not true?

Well, none of my bras are cotton or silk or wool so I think the materials overall are about the same. It is definitely not constricting! The back and straps are made of stretchy material that isn't very attractive, but is very comfortable.

Awesome, glad you found something you like!

ETA: The pic looks really comfy and supportive. It doesn't look like a non-underwire. I wish they showed a pic of the back, but I'm thinking it's prob one of those with a wider band in the back. I think it's just made by SPANX, but not SPANX typical material. Have you tried googling to see if there's a better price anywhere?

Wow, you're awesome, DrSally! :bowdown: (And you, too, crl, for finding this!) :cheerleader1: I may give it a try in a couple months when I'm done nursing.

Thanks!

crl, did it give your girls some oomph or just a more natural aka small look? I'm normally a 32A but get to enjoy a small B while nursing :)

I tried one of these at Marshalls. I really liked it, but I was put off by the price (it was $30 there, on clearance). I kind of forgot that I meant to check back for further markdowns.

You totally rock! But now I am tempted to just buy more instead of being frugal and saving my pennies. :tongue5:

I'd say very minor oomph.

Sometimes I find something at a B&M store and go home and check Amazon and find a lower price. *But*, would have never found it on Amazon, had I not had an exact name/description. If I've already tried it on, total score, b/c I know it will fit and what it looks like!

Oh, I followed the Amazon link and that is actually a slightly different bra. Mine is the front close version. It is also $62 on Amazon at the moment.

Darn! That's a whole lot of $$ for a bra, but if you love it, it's worth it.

I have the same bra in a 36B and I really like it. Thanks for the link I'll have to get one in black.
