Confession: I Bought A $70 Bra

Indifferent I guess a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do and I know that the 36H options are limited, but still. Ouch! I got it in a nursing bra in hopes that when I grow out of it pre-preg (which I am sure will happen, though I picked one that swould still give some growth room) hopefully I can get some milegae out of it on the way back down. There were some $50 options, but they didn't feel as good.

    Bras are crazy expensive, I think anything over a D gets more pricey, I have a very hard time finding 34 or 36 DD I can't imagine how hard it is for you to find a 36 H.

     I spend a lot on mine as well, but VS makes bras that last and I can get my size easily...Where did you get it btw?  I started as a 34 D and I am spilling out of the DDs now.

    I got it at Nordstom. They did a GREAT job of fitting me and then helping me navigate different styles and sizes (to accomdate room to grow some). My other option was a specialty lingerie store that also provides amazing help, but that store was in the opposite direction of our plans today and I needed a new bra NOW. My smaller ones were hurting me.

    I am sorry that it cost that much to get one that you loved. But bras are super expensive.

    It is totally worth it as long as it is comfortable.  I bought a cheap o this weekend and already regretting it.

    I'm jealous of the $70 :)

    I have 36F and had to go get custom fit bras - up here they were about $125 each.

    Kohl's usually carries a variety of brands in DD/DDD cup sizes (even with band sizes at 34).  I was a 34/36DD pre-pregnancy, and am up to a 38DDD now - I can almost always find bras at Kohl's for under $20.  I prefer the Bali brand, but they also carry a few others in larger sizes.

    I need to make an appointment at a bra shop for a fitting.... try finding a nursing bra in a 44 DDD or larger if they get bigger.... I am NOT looking forward to it.... The last time I went to a speciality bra shop it cost me almost $150 for a bra for my wedding.....
