Bra shopping??

I'm going to need to go bra-shopping again soon, ugh. And prepping for this is likely to take time and research. O_x

Any recommendations for in-person bra shopping at stores that go far above DDD (Srsly, I'm in a 34H (UK)/34K (US) these days and suspect I'll be larger soon), other than Nordstrom's? (Vicky's is Right Out, and I already have a selection of interwebs stores I can shop at, but nothing beats trying 'em on!)

Nordy's didn't have a damn thing for me last time I went in, which made me a very sad girl. (Technically, they had two bras, but they both sucked -- one was too small, and the other had zero support.)

What stores have you been to and liked?

  • There is a boutique in Freemont that is really good, but it is $$$. I can't remember the name of it for you though :(

  • I've never actually bought anything at Zovo, but it looks like they have a pretty good range of sizes.

    The store in U Village is cute. Maybe call ahead to see what they have in stock? 

  • Every time this has come up on the bump board people have great advice... i don't remember any of it, though.

    But was it you who is "afraid" of thebump?

    :P I'm usually one of the people handing out advice on TB, haha. Which usually amounts to "Go to Nordstrom's at least for a fitting, avoid Victoria's Secret, and here're six reputable sites to shop at online".

    I'm just hoping people will know of local shops, y'know? :)

    Zovo might work out! I'm not sure if they mean a US K (at which point, not so useful, sadly), or a UK K (which would be awesome!), but it's definitely worth checking 'em out. :D Thank you!

    I was referring to the seattle board, so suggestions could be local.

    Yes, i know :)  I thought one of the pregnant ladies on this board was afraid of TB, but maybe i'm confused.
    It kinds of looks like that cat is sitting on the lap of someone using the toilet :/

    hahahahaha, gross

    isn't it oxymoronish (is that even a word?)  to be pregnant and afraid of TB? Wink

    The Seattle board on TB seems to be nearly dead, other than the weekly check-in. :-/

    Yeah, it kind of is.  The previous regulars still lurk, but mostly chat on FB.  You might get a response, though.

  • Which Nordy's did you try? I was much happier with the selection at the Bellevue Nordy's vs. the one downtown (I'm a 30dd, so somewhat of an odd size).

    I also liked Zovo in Uvillage.  

  • My BFF liked Motherhood Maternity (I think I remember her saying that name) and she is contemplating going to Lane Bryant for their bras. 

    Good Luck!
