Where do you buy your bras? What is good value?

[$stretcher]

I am a pretty average size - 36c - and I usually buy slight push-up bras from La Senza, because I like their selection of prints and patterns.

I would say I usually pay about $20-$25.00 for a good underwire (I wait for a sale), but they only seem to last about 6-8 months, then they lose their shape. I usually wash them after wearing for 2 days, hand wash or gentle cycle them in the washer and always hang them to dry.

So, I figure I spend about $200/year on the girls. Am I better to buy a few high end bras, and will they last? I find the cheaper ones under $20 just don't give me good lift and support.

What are you buying?

@Abby5, you beat me to it.
Was going to say LaSenza since some other Smart Canucks posted great in store and online, like this thread from the summer

Wow, and you don't find they loose their shape/lift? I never notice mine are that worn until I try on a crisp new bra, then I really can feel and see the difference. But I have also had 3 kids and am over 40, so gravity is getting the better of me!! I don't remember needing such support years ago!!

I have 2 teens and I am not 40 yet but I do try to buy the ones that r not too stretchy when I buy them

i pay an arm and a leg for new bras due to my size.. but i can also get a few years out of a new bra (i try to budget 1 new bra a year)this is why i cringe whenever i see/hear of someone putting a bra in the washer lol... i will say though you do get what you pay for when it comes to buying bras.. cheapie bras do not last as long as a quality bra

There's a La Senza outlet in Pickering, ON and it's the only place I buy my bras. I dont think I've spent more than $7/bra in years!

I wish I could shop at LaSenza! Unfortunately my "girls" are a 42D and it's tough to find that size...mostly I buy the Curvation brand from Wal-Mart because I find them very comfortable and true to size. They'll last 6 months to a year, and when they go, it's always the stupid under wire that pops through...

I just spent big $$ on a bra for my girls, however, since I paid for them I like to spoil them. I went for a proper fitting and was SHOCKED at how off on the sizing I was :O

I used to wear La Senza or Victoria Secrets bras. I don't think I'll be able to fit any bras there anymore

I will have to try that brand. Do you find it comfortable? And true to your size?
