Bra's!

[Brandi]

Hate them!!!! Ok I know this has been talked about to death. Talked about but still no improvement.
I am average size, nothing big or to too small. My problem is straps fall off my shoulder's. I do own razor back bra's. But if I wear a scoop neck anything I can't wear those. So I am always grabbing the strap and pulling it back up. I don't like sports bra's except for sports. They are too much material anyway.
So last night while surfing the web I ran across the "U shaped back"! Why I have I not noticed this before? The straps are closer together in the back. More to the center of your back but not so far over that if I wear a scoop necked whatever it won't show.
Does anyone have this strap issue and have you tried a "u Back"? You would think with all the hammering and shoveling I do I would have shoulders with good muscles to keep those straps up? But they dip slightly. Enough to bug the cr*p out of me when I want to wear a normal bra. Actually it seems as I wear a bra the straps get worse and worse.
So I bought one of these bra's last night. Lot's of good sales right now perfect time.
Oh and spanx has a bra now too. Not sure if I am willing to shell out $62.00 for not adjustable straps. But I like the no bulge part for sure.

Bras.

I wear a bralet most of the time, but for certain needs I found it really worthwhile to go for a fitting at a bra specialist. Victoria's Secret has a number of T-backs and bras with straps more closely placed to the spine that might work. I find working with a fitter when I have something specific really helps. They know the merchandise and can save a lot of running around. Nordstroms, VS.... good places to go for bra issues.

You know I did that at VS and they said I was smaller then what I was wearing. SO I bought 2 bra's from them. They were so terrible! I wasted my money. They were tight and the straps STILL fell down! And I mentioned that was an issue. Of coarse in the store they felt good but wearing them for a full day was not good. They were cute though!

I was going to suggest going to VS and getting fit. The only bras I own anymore (other than sports bras) are from VS because for me they are more comfortable than any place else.

I have left shoulder drop. I gave up on VS because I didn't want added "help" with my bra. Not every woman wants the appearance of a larger cup size! I went to Nordstrom's got fitted again, and bought the X back bras. But for scoop neck tops, I have a standard bra with the clear straps (it's fully adjustable, will do X back and haltertop). I wash off the straps more than I wash the entire bra.

It certainly depends on who you have helping you. Last time I was very clear that I did not want push up, add a cup size or anything like that and the gal was very helpful. I just wanted enough of a lining to prevent nipple show through with certain clingy tops, and she was great.
