Here's my pet peeve about finding bras: I am also still large-busted after weight loss, short (5'1") and short-waisted, and approx. 34D. Why do the manufacturers of the 34C/34D bras sew on skinny little spaghetti straps?

Hello! Just because the band size is smaller, doesn't mean that we don't need support, and as I am post 50 I need a LOT of extra support. I like the design features on the minimizer bras - with reinforcement on the side or bottom of the cup as well as wide, cushioned straps.Those features seemed easy to find in larger sizes , but seem to be phased out below size 36. This week I was happy to find a 36C that was proportioned about right at a discount store (Ross).
