Where does one go to find an "Oprah bra"?

I just can't seem to find the right bra that doesn't give me "back fat". argh.

About padded bras. I'm a "D" cup. I think I was pretty shocked the first time I went bra shopping and stumbled upon heavily padded bras (I thought they should be labeled "false advertising". sorry ladies) lol

Any who, I've always wore thin under wire bras until week after week I saw a lady stand up in my networking group with her headlights FULL ON. (if you know what I mean).

We have a mixed group of men and women - when I'm talking, I don't want people to be noticing my nipples - I transitioned to a padded bra to help "dim my lights".

LOL

that's' my bra input, and I'm sticking to it.

Dotsie,
That was a cute story. What do VS bras have that others don't? I like underwire, except when they wear out. Those wires can hurt a person when they poke through the material.
I like fancy, fancy underwear. I know that seems weird, but it gives me more confidence. Anybody else a bit off center, here? What the heck is an Oprah Bar? And where do you buy one?
Ciao for now,

I just adore fancy underwear. It make me feel beautiful to have sumptuous skivvies on, like I know that underneath the jeans and the T shirt--is one hot babe.

I gotta say I don't like to mail order clothing of any kind because it usually doesn't fit right and doesn't look as I had expected it too. The Victoria's Secret undies were an exception.

I ordered 2 bras. I just love love this one:

It has lift and push up and it's an underwire, but you'd never know it. Totally smooth surface all around and even better, it stays in place. Never rides up or shifts around. It is absolutely the best bra I've ever owned. No lie. (but I got it in beige, not this sick kiwi green)

I also bought another model that I like and is comfortable, but it has a lot more silicone in the cups than I'd expected and I don't like it quite as well as the one above. This bra is amazing.

I think the Victoria's Secret catalog has more and better merchandise than the retail stores. Their 800 customer service is supreme. Their return policy is flawless. Great mail order company to do business with.

I also bought a swimsuit and coverup from them earlier this year which looked beautiful and fit great and was briefly discussed right here at BWS. http://www.boomerwomenspeak.com/forums/s...ge=1#Post115182

In fact this suit looked so good a friend of mine who is just now in Greece with her man, bought exactly the same suit and cover up after she saw mine! And the prices are absolutely reasonable.

You should definitely check out VS. Good merchandise, nice quality, excellent customer service, competitive prices.

If you haven't worm a VS bra, you should at least go try a few on. I have several different styles and like them all. I can't believe I've bought in to the trend. I am not a trendy person, but oh well, I like them.

I heard there was a connection between under-wire bras and breast cancer. Have any of you heard this? A lady in the lingerie department said her doctor told her it wasn't good to wear them.

I don't care for them because they aren't comfortable.

Just wondered if any of you have heard this before.

I didn't hear that one Laurel but I did ear and see data about under arm deodorant being a culprit for cancer. I never use anything but alcohol and stay fresh all day, everyday.

I HATE bras. If it were up to me, and if I wouldn't get black eyes during a high wind, I'd never wear one.

Doesn't everything cause cancer?

I don't believe the deodorant thing because cancer starts in the breast and then migrates to lymph nodes, not the other way around. And the underwires? I doubt it. But I stopped wearing those things 30 years ago because I couldn't stand them.

There goes the wueen bragging again with those black eyes. I don't have that problem.

That black eye comment is too cool. I like underwire bras. Haven't heard about it causing cancer. But I did hear about the deodorant issue and even some hand soap ingredients? My father-in-law's doctor suggested using LEVER. So I do. But, yes, everything seems to have side effects.
Good luck, prayers and blessings,
