Going to get bra fitted!
Finally! I've been putting it off for years. But I'd love some nice fitting bras. I am either going to Intimacy or Nordstrom.
I have around 10 bras right now, I know I can't replace that anytime soon. But I want to start. How many bras do y'all think is a good number of bras?
I want a black one and one close to my skin tone. I don't really need a strapless at the moment. I recently found out I like soft cup/unlined bras but I think I prefer molded ones especially T-Shirt ones.

I like to keep about 10 bras in rotation. I like to wear a fresh one every day, and it helps them last long not to re-wear them between launderings.

I have four good bras. Two of those are convertible. Black, flesh, blue and white.

Lol. I have one good bra. The days that's in the wash I wear an older one but I don't like to wear it out and about, it's gets uncomfortable quickly.

I was thinking that too. Any reason though?
Does it keep it's shape well, being used so much? I notice I wear the same 2-3 bras so I don't need 10+ right away.

This. Washing, constant wearing and body oils will cause a bra to stretch out rather quickly. I buy new bras every six months.

Intimacy specializes in bras and such and I found that they did a better job of fitting. But in terms of bra selection, I would go with Nordstrom.

What are some of your (gy) favorite bra brands?

The best thing I ever did was get sized. I was fitted at Nordstrom in 2 different cities, in 3 years. I like them fine.
But I was shocked by my size. I'd been wearing a 36dd and I sized at a 32gg. I'm now a 34hh. Having a proper fitting bra makes me look thinner, my posture is better and, my girls are up and standing at attention! I recommend getting sized to every woman I know.

I've had really good experiences in Nordstrom too and was also shocked by my size. Going by the way you're supposed to measure yourself, I was wearing a 38d and was very uncomfortable. After getting fitted I found I was really a 36ddd (or f). The ladies at Nordstrom really know their stock as well. Natori bras fit me well and are very comfortable and not overly pricy. I just bought a couple extras today since Nordstrom is having their anniversary sale right now -- I think it's on for 2 more days.
