Well, this might be somewhat of a personal subject, but I feel compelled to say something about it, because it’s got me so freakin’ annoyed! Bra shopping. What a pain! Here’s my issue: as anyone who knows me can testify, I need more than a little support up there. So when I see the words “Full Figure” in the newspaper ads, or on the rack, that is where I gravitate. But when I get there, what do I find? The “Full Figure” support is only available…if you don’t *actually* have a full figure! Normally, bra sizes go up to about 42D. Well, I need something a bit “fuller” than that. But on the “Full Figure” rack at the local Penney’s, that’s as high as it goes! If you need 44 or 46, you are just plum out of luck searching through the “Full Figure” racks at Penneys.
I’m only talking about Penney’s right now. Maybe tomorrow I’ll try Sears and see if I have any more luck. Wal Mart? Fuggedaboutit!
There are Big and Tall Men’s clothing shops. I guess I’ve got to find a “Full Figured” women’s clothing shop and hope I can find something there. Or, I could lose a little weight, thus becoming less full figured, since as I recall when I was 20 pounds lighter back in 2005-2006, I was back in “normal” sized clothes.
Yeah, I think that’s what I’d most like to do. But in the meantime (as losing weight does tend to take time, does it not?) where exactly am I supposed to shop for new bras?
Hey Chris – I recently went “bra shopping” and did very well at Kohls. I didn’t find anything either in Macys, Penneys or Sears. When I went to Kohls, I brought one bra in the dressing room, and it fit perfect – YAY!! I don’t know if you have Kohls by you, but hang in there, I know bra shopping can be frustrating!!

Thanks for the advice, Lori. Russ tells me there’s a Kohl’s in Birmingham. Maybe I can check it out next time we go up there…if I haven’t lost 20 pounds before then. (LOL!!!)
