I’m a strong believer in quality undergarments. A good bra can really make or break the fit of a dress or outfit. Before spending, consider being fitted by a professional. I recommend department stores over a certain mass-market lingerie shop if you have no specialty stores in your area. Also, be prepared to spend, unfortunately good bras don’t usually come cheap but are worth their weight in gold. Many online shops offer coupons, frequent sales, and bonuses for repeat customers. Here are some shops which I think are pretty neat.
1. Aerie at American Eagle Outfitters
The site just recently launched a feature that allows shoppers to search bras by size and preview what they look like on models who wear the same size. The new feature isn’t perfect and only goes up a DD but it’d definitely a start, especially at the lower end price-wise. Bras start at $20.00.
2. Breakout Bras
This site is really a one-stop shop with bras, sports bras, swimwear, mastectomy bras, nursing bras and shapewear. It also carries a full range of bras in band sizes 28 to 48 and cup size AA to N.
3. ASOS
ASOS’ features a great variety of fits in their clothing ranging from petite to tall, plus-size and maternity so of course their lingerie options would follow suit. The online fast fashion mecca has bra options available up to a cup size K.
4. Fig Leaves
Fig Leaves offers half and full cup sizes ranging from a 28 to a 54 band size with cup sizes ranging from an AA to a G. Most bras cost in the $30.00 – $45.00 with some designer styles going much higher.
5. Big Girls Bras
Don’t let the name fool you. Bigger Bras serves all sizes from 28AA to 50K with some band sizes available up to a size N. Bras start at $11.99, and specialty styles hover around a pretty reasonable $50.00.
6. Intimacy
Intimacy boasts unique shops featuring bra fit specialists in many major U.S. cities (check the site for a location near you). The shops online outpost carries designer styles but discounts fairly often.
7. My Skins
Last, but not least, My Skins boasts nude bras for all skintones, up to 20 to be exact. The brand has bras in three basic styles, convertible and plunge, all at $60.00. The sizes range from A-D.
