    I love Wacoal bras. I normally try to find them in the clearance section at Nordstrom or Macy's.

    Look at this pretty one.

    VS Dream Angels Pushup. The BEST bra. It's memory foam makes it super comfy, plus it's lacy and pretty enough, but the lace is placed so that it doesn't show through. I own about 6-7 of them.

    I have a super hard time finding a good bra.  I am a 34 E (DD to an F, depending) and I like VS BioFit.

    VS Secret Embrace pushup. Conspicious enough to wear under tight shirts, doesn't give ridiculous cleavage but lifts things up nicely, and is super comfortable. I own it in black, white and nude.

    I don't like VS. Their bras never fit me right and I worked there so I know all about the sizing and stuff. My favorite bras are actually from Target, super comfy, cute and CHEAP.

    I love the Body by Victoria Push Up bra, and the Secret Embrace bra.  Both offer great coverage, and although both have a bit of a "push-up," I feel that they offer more support than others on the market (and I wear a 38C/36D bra).

    I love my fashion bug ones!  I forget what the name/number is but They are the only thing I buy, since I found them, since I'm plus-sized and I HATE underwires.  I love that they are soft cotton, and a little lacy.  :)

    Ambrielle Smooth Revolution (Find them at JC Penney) Wireless Bra!

    I am full-fgured but hate big poky wires. These bras give me a nice shape and lift but are totally comfy!

    Anything by Fantasie or Freya. Super comfy for bigger boobies. First bras I've had where the wire actually lies properly flat against my ribcage, and the bit in the middle flat against my breastbone.

    Always worth spending good money on comfy bras & shoes, I think. Bad either will just ruin the day.

    Chantelle Bras! I have their lined and their push up bras, and they are both SO comfy and fit so well--they're the only push up bras I"ve ever liked and worn. I personally really don't like VS--they never fit well and I feel like they get worn out so quickly! I've also had some good experiences with Gap Body bras, but again, it seems like they get worn out quickly (maybe I"m just hard on my bras, lol).

    @Ms. Caniche: you are soooo right.  The VS Wireless IPEX is the best bra ever!  I've gotten all of my friends hooked on it.  Too bad you can only buy it only now (at least in my area they don't carry it in any of the stores anymore).

    Am I the only small ta-ta girl who doesn't wear a push up bra!?

    I wear a version of this ipex bra that I can't seem to find on the website anymore... it was called like a tshirt bra or something.

    I think it's time for me to buy new bras if they're not carrying what I'm wearing anymore... hmmm...

    Anyway, my 36A is happy with the light lining :)

    ETA: I think it might be this bra,  pre-redesign. Apparently I'm no longer familiar with VS's website, haha.

    I'm a big fan of Bravissimo's bra range. As they're specialists for us bigger boob girls they're really clever and comfy. It's a tad more expensive but I'd rather go with that and be super comfy than buy a cheap one that doesn't fit me properly.

    I'm a 38F and for years I would only by Dream Tisha by LeMystere. They're a great bra, but they start wearing down after a few months if you're putting a lot into them :). I've found that the Cacique bras Lane Bryant carries lasts a lot longer and they're so much prettier and about half the price!

    I love the Calvin Klein t-shirt bra, and more recently I discovered the GapBody Favorite T-shirt Bra (and promptly bought four).  I'm not a fan of push-ups.

    Chantelle Bras are the best.  You can find them at Nordstroms and Saks (and mayb e other department stores) as well as specialty bra stores.  They aren't cheap though... but worth the money.  VS bras barely hold me up compared to Chantelle bras, and Chantelle bras last much longer.

    WOW!  I totally didn't think there would be so many wireless ipex fans out there.  I just ordered 2 more yesterday to replace some that are looking tired.  It is serioulsy the best bra.

    I have this Felina push up (gel in the push-up part) in like 6 colors! it's from nordstrom and is the best bra i have ever owned. it's incredible! i wear a 32D and it is simply the best fit and totally enhances the shape of my boobs. i can't wear VS bras... the cup is too small and the bands are too big!

    Felina (from nordys) is the best brand ever! try it out!

    I have to second the Cacique recommendation for big boobs. 34G or H here, and Cacique are the best for a good price and great quality. Their bands start at a 38, but that works some how for me and my 34 band. 

     

    Hopefully some day I'll be back in VS bras :( Can't wait for my "boob job!"

    Any suggestions on the bras mentioned (or any others) that are good for NOT showing through clothes? Most of my VS bras are demi and i hate that I can see the outline of them through my shirts!

    Another vote for Calvin Klein here. They're well priced for the quality, durable, carry my size (VS/Fredericks/etc. don't) and they're super comfortable. Their cups run small for me (I have to wear 30DD versus 30D), but otherwise I like everything about them!

    I really love the Body by Victoria Demi Bra with memory fit.  It's just so comfortable & versatile and great for everyday/casual wear.    

    http://bit.ly/bWNvNS

    Most of VS's other stuff doesn't work for me,  I've also had great experiences with a lot of the Gap Body bras.  I wear a 36 C/B for reference.

    It was the LeMystere Dream Tisha, but last summer I bought some PrimaDonna Satin spacers, and hoo they have been worth every cent I paid for them.

    It is expensive but it is the most amazing bra ever.  I have a large chest and it has not stretched at all and has kept its shape.

    @daydreamwanderer: Haha! Don't worry, I'm another small tata girl who doesn't like pushups. Maybe it's just me, but I feel weird pretending to have something I don't. They may not be the biggest, but I still love my boobs and wear them proudly ;)

    I agree on the Calvin Klein t-shirt bras, though I definitely wore mine out and had to toss them :(
