Nursing Bras

Other than Motherhood and Target, any suggestions of places in the area to buy nursing bras (especially for those with a larger chest)?

 Thanks!

    The Breastfeeding Center on K St. has a good selection.

    I got mine at a hospital.  i think it was in alexandria?  details are fuzzy.  however, they had large sizes (went up to H or I or something) and because so few ppl came in for that size, the woman gave me a deep discount to get rid of a few more extremely dusty bra packets.

    Depending on your size, I know it'd be nice to try on in store, but I had the best luck shopping online.  I'm a 34G, and I just bought a bunch on Amazon, and returned the ones that didn't work.  My favorite was this one, and I'd wear it every day if I could - I really should buy a second one:

    I too am an errr larger chest, and there's a place in Vienna off of 123 that had larger size nursing bras.  I forgot their name.  The Fair Oaks Lactation center had a lot of selection tho their hours were kinda odd.  I also found that I loved loved loved the nursing tanks from glamourmom.com!!!  Love love love them!  I also bought a TON of bras from one of the bra websites, tried them on at home and then returned 99% of them.  Gotta love the free shipping.

    I went to Nordstroms and they had a limited but good selection in my uber busty size.  I bought a few there and then bought more of the same online for my second baby.  I really love Anita and Elle McPherson.  I have 4 of these Anita ones and wear them every day.

    I am well endowed (34F) and I love the Bravado bras.  I'm pretty sure the lactation centers at the INOVA hospitals carry them (but I ordered mine online).

    Try Trousseau in Vienna or Dell's in Fairfax. I buy all my (big) bras at Trousseau. :)

    My size transcends what Nordstrom or Fair Oaks Hospital Lactation Botique carries, so it is Trousseau with free custom tailoring for me. If you are a bit more mainstream in size, the other two options I mentioned might worth for you.

    P.S. I am pretty sure that Dell's in Fairfax went out of business.
