I bought them at a place called SunnyJ's here in Michigan, but they do sell them online:

The benefit of going to a good bra shop is that you can get properly fitted - it makes all the difference in the world!
I was wearing a DDD cup and I'm actually an H - I had no idea. Now all my tops fit so much better.

Stymie said:

I'm gonna look for it, thanks!

most bras look better on the floor.

JerseyKRS said:

Those molded bras always look pretty and come in a great variety of colours but do they ever go bigger than a D cup?

HotPaisleyGirl said:

They do. I wear an F and I have a few molded bras. I've never found them in the pretty colors that the smaller bras come in though. Only black, nude, and white

JessieJ said:

Typical, us bigger chested girls have to wear the boring colours!
I like Triumph and Pour Moi?

HotPaisleyGirl said:

I know... I don't get it. I like Wacoal and I recently found a couple of Le Mystere bras in my local TJ Maxx Sooooo comfortable and they were only $10

HotPaisleyGirl said:

I just bought some cute ones here ----> http://www.fredericks.com...e%5Ftest=1

Can't say they are very comfortable though

veronikka said:

For real? Damn.... I was actually thinking about buying some from there.

JessieJ said:

You should try them, Im sure they fit everyone differently, they look very pretty thats for sure!

JessieJ said:

Never even thought of looking there for a bra!!! I need to check them out!

veronikka said:

I'll probably order one and see if I like it

veronikka said:

I always check there and at Marshall's. You have to really dig around to find them, but it's worth it

Mines are shrinking, so soon I probably won't even need a bra!

Stymie said:

new bravissimo.com catalogue arrived in the mail today

Stymie said:

I heard her interview on Tom Joyner . They're going to be similar to the gel strapped ones Zombie Kitten mentioned. I think they're going to have gel in the underwire section too, to keep it from digging into the flesh:

In the photos though, you should know that those brassieres are generally not fitted to the person the way it would be if you actually went to a fitter and had it done in real life. A model is simply casted for the shoot and the bra will be manipulated to look like it fits as much as possible, using all sorts of pinning and stuffing and visual trickery.

In the old days when I first started working on catalog shoots, the ways they used to make the bra "appear" to fit was primitive and bordering ridiculous: I remember manys occasion when an empty Coke can placed at the spine behind the bra closure was the industry-wide "magic trick" on shoots used keep a brassiere looking taut and keep the model's posture considered more "complimentary".

Basically, unless it's an instructional type photo that you see as part of a campaign to REALLY demonstrate the attributes of the product, ladies, take no notice of the photos you see for brassieres. For many catalogs, models are booked off of composite cards and are usually seen in the brassiere for the first time when they show up on set to shoot. If it's actually an ad campaign or lingerie catalog, there will be fittings. But not fittings in the technical sense. It's basically the art department/ad agency reps, the photogrpaher, and the stylist doing the fitting checking to see if the aesthetics are right. unless there is a company/product rep along to with clear instructional demands on how the product is to be shown, the general rule for shooting bras are:

1. Keep the straps straight and taught, but not digging into the flesh

2. No puckering in the cup. Fill it ANY way you have to.

After that, they just keep it moving, ya know? The ad agencies have no clue. So I really have to thank Ganesha and Zombie for teaching me that lil' bra tidbit, 'cause a sista really DID NOT know, and I've worked on bra shots for 14 years

3 steps:

1. The strap around your body should be firm but comfortable. When you stand side-on at a mirror, the strap that runs around your body should be horizontal and should not ride up at the back at all.

2. The wires at the front should lie flat against your rib cage and should not dig in, rub or poke out at the front.

3. Your boobs should be enclosed in the cups and you should have a smooth line where the fabric at the top of the cup ends and meets your bust. You shouldn't have any ridges or bulging over the top or sides of the cups, even if you are wearing a balconette or lower cut style.

Trying on tips
When you are trying a bra on, it's best to start off by fastening it on the loosest hook. This way, you will be able to tighten the bra up if it becomes looser when you've worn it a few times. Also, remember to adjust the shoulder straps to ensure that they are not too loose. When you've put on a bra, you may need to adjust your boobs to make sure that they are in the cups properly. It's a good idea to try a T-shirt or top over the bra that you are trying, so that you can see the shape it gives you underneath your clothes.

(from bravissimo.com)

One thing I always like to do, is bend over and shake my boobs into the cups to fill them up properly.
