Finding the Right Bra

Calvin Klein Perfectly Fit

Everyone has their favorite bra. Mine? It's Calvin Klein's Perfectly Fit Tailored Push Up Bra ($38). I have about 15 bras in my drawer, but I would wear this one over and over and over again because it's comfy and does what I need it to. I have it in nude and black. But sometimes certain outfits call for different kinds of under things.

CafeMoms have asked questions about where to find good supportive bras or the right bra for an open back dress and I found this great piece from Glam.com called Get Uplifted: 10 Great Bras. They show a sports bra from Lily of France that is super cute.

What do you think? Have you "test-drove" any on the list? What are your favorite bras?

I didn't realize the importance of a good bra until a few years ago. It really makes a difference in your posture as well as the way you look. Awesome post.

My kind of Bra, has to be cute. But do the job. I like to be held up. and have clevage. And since im a Plus size momma, Its a lot harder to fin a cute bra in my size, 44D. But I have. They have a Bra company in Newyork that ships there bra's to Gabrials when they dont sale well, So you can get a 130 bra for like 20. I get a lot of great ones from there. They are called Cute and Sassy. They go from small size's to your very big size's. But they are super cute. With great detail. And they will hold your puppys up there. And stay in place. No slipping straps and riding up your back. I have about 13 /16 of them in all different colors and styles. And I mean different. I have aRed one with white poke a dots thats too cute. And its my fave.

I prefer bras that snap in the front. They keep the girls in closer and provide a nicer clevage aerial. I had this one victoria secret push up bra and every once in a while id mess around with the material they had in it because it was so squishy and odd feeling lol. Then there's the bras that X in the back those give great support for comfort.

I bought a Calvin Klein bathing suit and the bra part was AWESOME! I am shopping for a similar real bra this week! They are so flattering! My last Victoria Secret bra was held together with glue! Washed it twice and it started falling apart! $45.00 too!
