A Bra for a Gal Like Me.



Another company that does a good job of making bras for small-busted women - Gap/Gap Body.

Some people might think that if one just 'shrinks', or makes a bra designed for a larger-busted girl in a smaller size, everything would work just fine.  If someone just took a bra designed for me and 'made it bigger', if you will, would it be the right design/fit/and most importantly - support - for a larger-busted girl?!

I rest my case.

And Now, A Word On Sports Bras.

So I have fallen in love with Lululemon.  It only makes sense.  I love fancy, nice, high-end things.  I love dance and working out.  I love nice clothing.  There needed to be a company that focuses on well-fitted, cute, stylish workout clothes.  It was a genius idea on someone's end.  What gal doesn't want a cute sports bra?

Why yes, I do love my purple lululemon sports bra.  It is one of the best.

Is it the absolute best sports bra ever?  No.  Who makes the absolute best sports bra?

(Drumroll please.)

Aerie.

Yes, that random little known store - the American Eagle underwear store.  They also have the best bras.

I was discussing this with a good friend who was in complete agreement with me.  She then suggested that this store was well accustomed to, ahem, women built like us.  Said friend has a very similar body type to me.

I think that's why I love my Aerie sports bra.  (And I may have simultaneously lost all my male readers.)  It still takes the time to shape and accentuate instead of simply focusing on flattening and holding in.  Most women who are concerned about their support are those who, ahem, really desperately need it - and I feel most of the upper body support industry caters to this sector of the market.  I often find my sector of the market ignored in this respect.  Dear bra industry - please don't forget about my people.

Bravo, Aerie.  I don't mean to brand you in a certain way, but you really work for me.

Have any other women out there built like me found luck at any other bra/sports bra stores?!  Any other brand recommendations?  Anyone else love Aerie?  Your thoughts?
