I think the store has a lot to recommend it - especially (as Katy says) the fact that the stock is available to touch and take without assistance. And the prices are reasonable. Alas, they totally don't work for me. Even in 2 cup sizes up and two band sizes down, the fit is wrong.K.Linehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15350615302797686048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-4191434008494519412013-05-27T23:30:28.405-04:002013-05-27T23:30:28.405-04:00I was thinking about this today, and felt like com...I was thinking about this today, and felt like coming back to type it into permanency... while Change has its drawbacks, I think it's filling a very important hole in the market and there is a lot about the store that I like. Mainly, I like that they put their sizes on the floor so you can help yourself, rather than holding all the stock hostage in the back and leaving you at the whim of a salesperson (which is my primary complaint about high-end lingerie shops). Secondly, perhaps obviously, is the price point - it opens up a whole world of bra sizes to people who just simply can't afford $75-$125+ for a bra. They are getting better at carrying a few more expensive styles that are obviously made of nicer/more delicate materials, as well. My main complaint about them is that they aren't larger... I'm picky so if I'm in need of a bra or want something other than my usual beige or black basics I have to go back every month or two religiously in the hopes that I might find something once or twice a year that I like. I also wish the store would expand to more places, so more women in that price point would have an alternative to La Senza!ms. modistehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17538521450859920972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-67978671726007625772013-05-27T23:25:04.800-04:002013-05-27T23:25:04.800-04:00I think that this might be the one that works for ...I think that this might be the one that works for me as well! They have two basics that are similar, one is a 3-piece cup construction and more of a plunge, whereas the other is a 2-piece cup construction and more of a low/demi/balconette (no idea what it's actually called)... the latter is the one that fits me like a dream.ms. modistehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17538521450859920972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-22778776728655059382013-05-26T17:12:24.194-04:002013-05-26T17:12:24.194-04:00I too have a wide smile :-).

Possibly part of why you're so wide and shallow has to do with wearing a too-small cup for a long while - breast tissue will migrate to wherever it can if it doesn't fit into the cup offered. Took me a long while to figure that out :-(.. the good news is that it does get better when you start wearing the right size consistently.M-Cnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-62224095008850163452013-05-25T05:21:27.107-04:002013-05-25T05:21:27.107-04:00I think I must be of the shallow/wide type too - d...I think I must be of the shallow/wide type too - definitely filling out towards the sides.

I have never, ever found an unpadded bra that fit even nominally. Even lines that are supposedly for "petites" are either padded and/or built for a much smaller frame, with closer-set breasts and shoulders. I'd love to find an unpadded bra that comes in something like a 28D or 30C, but they're just not out there, as far as I can tell.

I know Change isn't everyone's cup of tea, but they have a demi/plunge in their line of staples (always stocked) which fits better than any other bra I've ever purchased, hands down. I agree with the advice of demi or plunge styles, that's always what looks best on me. Full cups are usually too empty on top and yet at the same time somehow tend to cut in at the upper edge. Although its fine by me as I don't like that look on me anyway, I want minimal coverage! (Perhaps that actually explains something... Being wide means I have a large cup size but being shallow means I don't need a lot of support? Explaining why I'm always frustrated that bras in my size are "too much" in almost every way? Hmm.)ms. modistehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17538521450859920972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-17345430456800310172013-05-18T18:19:22.945-04:002013-05-18T18:19:22.945-04:00I'm a similar size to Kay, and unfortunately I...I'm a similar size to Kay, and unfortunately I've had no luck with soft-cup bras.

It had a tight band, but somehow it wasn't supportive and my breasts were hanging off my shoulders.
