Ok this sounds really sexist but seriously I hate being a woman sometimes! bras never last! I bought bras back in january and the poor saps are falling apart! remind me never shop at victoria secret! over priced bras with horrible quality.
My problem is I have an largerish size chest, D here natural but I am just finding no luck in bras, i used to go to gap because they used to sell bras but however they decided to discontinue under garernments line
I have tried soma at south park, nothing great about their stuff! I wont step a foot at macy's since Im from chicago and if you know chicagoans we hate macy's. (this is true chicagoan blood)
so any ladies out there who knows the best places or something. you can dm me if you rather. since i know it is a sensitive subjec. I know i could post in the fashion beauty section but what good would it be if the place is not local to actually try on!
I have to try on stuff, theres no way something could be brought online without trying on, especially bras!
any advice would be appreciated, other than getting reduction thanks!

Try "I See London." They have two locations, one on East Blvd in Dilworth and one in Ballantyne.
They are NOT cheap. But if you are a hard-to-fit size, the women there actually know what they're doing (as opposed to Victoria's Secret or department stores) and can get you into a very good-quality, perfectly fitting bra.
Also, you might want to try Nordstrom's. I haven't shopped there, but I've heard their saleswomen are all trained in how to properly fit you.
I need fuller cup bras/heavier straps and have found the ones I like at Kohls/JcPenney. They are vanity Fair. Fairly comfortable. I think I tried on bras for an hour last time. Going up and down # and letters trying to find the right combo in the bra that looked best.
Have you spoken with a fit specialist at JCP or Dillards? You can schedule an appt. I feel your pain!
I buy all of mine at Lane Bryant. I'm larger chested than you, and they have the only ones that fit, don't cut my boobs in half or give me uniboob, and they are comfortable. They can be pretty pricey, but they have sales all the time where you can buy one get one half off, and sometimes even buy one get one free, etc.
I've also heard good things about Nordstrom and IC London. I actually know the woman who owns it, and she's tried to get me to come in for a fitting before, but they are a little too pricey for me.
Victoria Secret, Lane Bryant bras are not good. Sorry.
For good fitting service, try Nordstrom or Dillards (northlake or SouthPark). You can expect to pay anywhere between 30-70 per bra. If you find a sale, you will pay less.
LeMystere makes great bras. So do Olga, Bali, Vanity Fair....
Oh, there is a Bali store in Concord Mills.
ALso, 6 months is about the lifetime of a bra that you wash by hand, hang dry and wear twice a week. If you do all this, you're taking great care of your undergarments and should be able to get 6 months out of them.
Maidenform. There is an oulet at Concord Mills and their bras can be bought at many different stores. I usually hit the outlet because they have sales the stores do not have.
