    Another vote for Chantelle. 3286 is my fav style with 3386 being a close 2nd.

Have had great improvement or total elimination of: migraines, bloating/distention, heartburn, cystic acne, canker sores, bleeding gums, eczema on elbows, dry skin and scalp, muscle cramps, PMS, hair loss, heart palpitations, fatigue. I'm amazed.

    Still trying to decide... Nordstrom will take them back even if I have worn them a few times, right? I would definitely be exchanging for something else.

    If you can figure out if it's comfortable it's probably not. That's how I was with the Natori. I would put it on and think well it will feel better once I wear it but it never did. That's how I ended up with the Wacoal.

    I think you're right.

    The wires may be too wide - many brands have them too wide for me (32f/ddd so big boobs small ribcage) so I stick with wacoal and chantelle now. I also cannot wear any molded bras at all - all 3 part aka cut & sewn for me. The wacoal alluring is a really great bra that doesn't show through with the seams. Her room.com has a great quiz that really breaks down breast shapes and recommendations.

    Update - went back to Nordstrom tonight. Another sales associate confirmed that my measurements were correct and felt that the bras I had purchased fit well. I tried on every single Wacoal and Chantelle bra in the store. The cups on Chantelle bras don't fit me well. They gape at the top. The straps on the Wacoal bras are too wide and slip off my shoulders. We tried bigger cup sizes with smaller bands, but I really need a 34. 32 is too tight. So, I am back to Natori, which definitely fits the best of all the brands I've tried. The sales associate felt that my petite frame combined with my cup size means that I am just going to have to get used to a bra with more coverage and that there might be an adjustment period.

    I will take the herroom.com quiz and see what they say!

    Thank you! I just used their tool and now understand why the only bra that I've found that fits does fit. Now I know what to look for, I've been driving myself mad trying to understand why I can't find more than one bra that fits.

    The Her room quiz took a while and to see your results you have to give your email. I suppose I could have given my spam email address but I wasn't thinking...I was just annoyed at the time waste. Just an FYI before anyone else does it.
