Gentlemen, avert your eyes.

Ladies, I have a bra question for you. Gentlemen, avert your eyes.

I'm a 36/38D. Finding a bra that fits me, does not give me rocket tits or uniboob, does not squash or stretch or mash, does not show under a tank top and still manages to look half-decent is a task in and of itself. I have found said bra, the Victoria's Secret Shaping Full Coverage Bra. So, having found the Holy Grail of Bras, why would I want to look elsewhere?

Because I found out that they're made in sweatshops, and that VS is about as socially responsible as the Gap. This makes me sad. It also puts me in a bind, because my current workhorse bra is dying quickly. I need a new one, soon.

So I set out to find an American-Made bra, or at least a sweatshop-free one. Not bloody easy. There's American Apparrel but they only have candyfloss tinygirl bras that wouldn't restrain a third-grader. Decent Exposures seem to come highly-recommended on the internets, but they look so dowdy.

Anybody got any suggestions? Are Lunaire bras sweatshop-free? How about Bravissimo?

My boobs thank you in advance.

I certainly hope you can find something Jane.
After all, don't want anything to get droopy now would we??? LOL
Sorry I can't help you and no...I didn't avert my eyes, after all I've seen them in the flesh.
My apologies to you and your Hubby, don't wish to make anyone mad. But I hope you find a bra that is acceptable and stylish to your taste.
If I should hear something I'll try to send it to you.

your friend always,

Erik

Stinker. Bad enough they're in a race for my navel. Poor girls. ;)

I asked a coworker who is bigger chested than you and I figuring she would have more to contribute.

She said: "I shop at BraWorld. I have no idea if they are using sweatshops to supply their heavily demanded products (no pun intended), but they do have a rather large selection for bigger boobs, and hard to fit boobs."

Kids just make them worse.... They really start to lose that fight against gravity then...
