How to measure and size 'em, some of the better brands, cuts, etc.. The comments include info about how to fit small and large busts, nursing bras, and even uneven sized breasts. Alas, nothing about post-mastectomy, but I read the comments last night - there might be something there now.

I reiterate the key point of the post: get measured now and again whenever you experience significant weight change (+ or - 10 lbs or more) or have a baby. I would even argue for a refit if you start working out your upper body in any substantial way, as the pectoral and shoulder muscles can affect band size (IMHO).

Also I enthusiastically second (third? fourth? I lost track) Bitch PhD's accolades for Wacoal - I've been consistently impressed with the construction and endurance of these particular bras. But even when you can't spring for the ex$pen$ive stuff, knowing your size is half the battle.

Wacoal, Warner's

I couldn't resist responding to this one! I too LOVE Wacoal - love love love them. Loehmann's sometimes has them for much less than the big-box stores do, so I recommend snooping around there for them. Also I love Warner's, which unfortunately seems to have really tapered off production in past few years. I am a weird size, 38B, which is hard to find. I haven't gained weight but somehow my band size changed from 36 to 38, maybe cos of doing arm weights as you mentioned. Lately I've resorted to wearing alot of those stretchy cotton tank tops w/ built in shelf bra. Costco carries the best ones for cheap. They also keep you warm in winter. Viva la comfort! :) :) Good luck bra-hunting ;)
