Question for the rubenesque of our female byc

* There is simply NO excuse for bras anymore-- I mean NOT ONE EXCUSE!! Think about what fantastic things people can do BUT for some reason, it's a pipe dream to come up with a good bra that isn't eating you alive in a few short hours??? COME ON!!!!!!
 
Try finding plus size maternity! I'm dying over here. Yes, Lane Bryant sells some, as does Motherhood, but I can't afford the prices, they are outrageous! Everyone is going to be seeing alot more of me then they want to soon...because I have nothing to cover it all up with...geez! I've been trying to find deals on craigslist, or ebay, but not much luck yet. By the time I add in shipping from ebay ...it's not much of a deal and gas with craigslist. UGH! If anyone has any ideas, let me know!

I just bought larger shirts and with the flowing style right now you may find something the the regular clothes. I had one pair of maternity jeans I splurged on and made another one myself by putting in a stretchy panel in front, wasnt that hard at all. Otherwise I did find a couple things on Ebay and , again, splurged on a top or 2 from motherhood maternity to where when i had to go some where. Actually my son is turning 6 and I still where them around the house

I think bras are torture chambers invented by men who have mother issues, but that is a discussion for another day. I hate the dang things, and to tell you the truth, I fly free when I am at home.

I just got tired of not being able to breath, rub marks, and either falling out the front or being squashed. I started shopping at Victoria Secrets because of a boyfriend , and I was able to find some pretty good bras through them. As long as I stay away from their fancy models, I can get some pretty good containment, but let me tell you, you think a bra is bad, try pack it all in a bullet proof vest, in Yuma, in the summer! I was lucky they didnt just melt and fall off, but they dont make those things for gals with more up top.​

Oh I'm so jealous you still have your concert tshirts!!!! My daughter is mad at me for ever getting rid of them....I'm mad at myself! What was I thinking???? :eek: My husband...then my boyfriend...introduced me to concerts when I moved to CA from Ohio. Boy was that an eye-opening experience for a small town girl! I saw Ozzy too, right after the whole bat thing, and of course, all the other top name 80's rock bands of the era. Those were the days....

I'm with you...when I'm at home, they are out free or confined to a sports bra. I have two whole drawers of VS stuff, and I love it, but honestly, you can't wear that stuff around the house and be comfortable. It's made for looks...and the men in our life...we might as well just admit it

Isn't this the truth???? My fancy, perfect fitting $80 bra was killing me in less than an hour. I couldn't stop fidgeting and pulling at it. I felt like a preteenager in her first bra! We were in Vegas so I just went back to the room and took it off. After seeing everyone else running around the casinos, I was sure no one would care if mine were hanging free too

I second the Lillyette bra vote!

I discovered Lillyettes one day when trying on bras, desperately trying to find ONE style that didn't pull my shoulders, let everything pop out the front, mash me down or look horrible in a tshirt.

Finally I tried a lillyette and fell in LOVE!

They are really made for full figured ladies - not just the cute little 36B styles sized up. And they are pretty bras too and come in a huge variety of styles.

I love them. They are expensive, but I too shop at Kohls when they put them on sale, or at my Belk's department store when they do the buy 2 get one 1 free deal.
 
Shoot, The men in my life are my ex-husband that I have to share a house with because we can't stand to be away from the kids, and I really don't care what I look like around him

, and then there is an ex-boyfriend that I break out all the good stuff for, but I only see him about once a year,

so I live like a nun for most of my life, and having fru fru stuff really isnt important, in fact, most days I look like a ranch hand. I bought a corset last year, and it seems to do a decent job of restraining things when I want to dress up, but considering I dont even own a dress anymore, I dont know why I bother keeping it, other than its hard to find ones to fit my size.
