    I usually get my everyday bras from Lane Bryant- Love their bras.  They support like there is no tomorrow.For the wedding, though, I will probably end up going to Bare Essentials in Wilmington, DE (located on 202).  I recently went there to find undergarments for a dress for a wedding I attended, and they were WONDERFUL.  I thought that they would be overpriced, but they were about the same as Victoria's Secret.  They knew what they were doing to a tee, they made me feel really comfortable, and I was extremely pleased with the selection they have- regular and plus sizes, including everyday wear, bridal wear, and honeymoon negligees.  If you can travel down to 202, I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend them- They were absolutely wonderful!

    I agree with MBR Lane Bryant has great bras. I am 36 DD so they have smaller band sizes as well.

    LB bras are the only ones I will wear now. They have some very cute styles and are super supportive. I never feel like I'm wearing an old-lady bra when I shop there. They even have some fredericks-eque stuff online.Whatever you do, make sure you get measured so you get the right fit, and try a few styles on-- some will accentuate your assets more than others. :)I will have to check out that Bare Essentials store in Wilmington though. :)

    Definitely take the time to check it out, Museumbride.  I was so surprised and pleased with my experience there!!And just a side note, they do not have a website.  When I asked why, the reason they gave made me like them even more:  They don't have a website because they want their customers to come in so they can get to know them, know what they like and dislike.  They feel undergarment shopping on the web is too impersonal, so they don't have one so you come in and meet with them face to face.  That way, they can suit your needs perfectly.It was nice to feel wanted, respected, and comfortable- not just another shopper without a name.

    Bosom Buddies in Paoli is great too!  Victoria's Secret told me I was a 32 C and I couldn't find a strapless bra that worked for my wedding gown.  I learned why when my aunt recommended this store and they measured me properly and I found out I'm a 30 E.  Fun stuff.  They were amazing and had everything in stock.  They specialize in working with women who have had breast cancer, but they have everything you could ever want or need.  They're very friendly and helpful as well as knowledgeable.
