I love the very sexy line and i swear by that strapless! Have you tried the VS miraculous push up? Its pretty intense, I like to call it my $50 boob job! However i feel like its false advertisment . . . guess thats the point, right?

As your previous manager, my best insight is: “Can we talk about nude?”

This article made me smile because it was actually the Spartanette that clued me in on the Nude Bra/White Shirt memo… I know that side note would find its way in this post!

Hey Alexa — I’m so sorry for making it seem like I equate being flat-chested with being unsexy. I meant it as a way to poke fun at the fact that strapless bras suck and that without the help of a push-up, I don’t have as much up top. (Seriously, whenever my mom sees me braless or in a sports bra, she always reminds me.) I didn’t mean to be rude or insensitive and I apologize for that.

Wow, I was literally planning on asking you this question myself today. “Being gifted in the chest department drives me and my upper back crazy when I run, any advice?”

But I don’t think you’re in any better of a position than I am! I read this review a while ago, but was apprehensive, I guess. So I thought I would share it with you, I think i will invest in one very soon!

Thanks for reminding me that women with boobs too small for push-up bras (like me) are as unsexy as ten-year-old boys. It always makes me, hardly even a 36A, feel great to hear B and C and D cups whine about being “flat-chested.”

I love the Victoria’s Secret, Perfect One Full Coverage bra. I recently just bought one of their sports bras last week. It is washed and planning to try it out this week.

I love the VS cotton push up. I normally don’t buy bras from there since as a paltry B cup there’s not a lot of pushing you can do for these girls that a $13 Target bra can’t do, but I had some $10 off Secret Rewards cards a few weeks ago so I decided to buy a couple new bras there. I loved the prints of the cotton ones and had been having the same tank top issue as you. I needed a racerback but hated the plain, ugly ones I’d seen. This bra was the perfect solution! Glad to see someone else is enjoying it. I also can’t wait to check out some of the bras from the new Pout collection that are all under $30. http://www2.victoriassecret.com/collection/index.cfm?&rfnbr=6938&cgname=OSBRPUNTZZZ&cgnbr=OSBRPUNTZZZ&page=all

@Cal_runner — Thanks for the detailed point on DD bras. I completely agree that they ARE expensive, but it’s REALLY worth it. I mean, the wrong size bra (or a flimsy, unsupportive bra) can throw off your posture and cause back pain. Simply choosing the right bra and spending the money can do wonders for how you look and feel. (Oprah just did another episode about this and featured all these like DD+ women whose lives were changed by the first show on the topic.)

@Rebecca — I think the Body by Victoria full coverage bra is great for bigger chests. I’ve also heard really good things about the BioFit, although it’s not my favorite. If you go into the store, ask to get measured and then try on the bra box. You can literally try on every bra they carry and see what you like — and a good sales person can recommend the best ones for your needs!
