Buy one so that you get professionally fitted and then do a search for them on eBay or Amazon.

same bra, fraction of the price:

the trouble is, they have limited sizes.

but if you have a century21 near you, they always have a decent selection of bras for good prices. nordstrom rack is usually another good bet.

I get professionally fitted and one or two expensive bras I like. The rest are high end brands from TJMaxx.

try marks and spencer. I spent a lot less there. But I went to the store and got fitted...they have a million different styles, and they recommended the type that would work best for me.

Same problem here! I need new bras but I keep putting it off because of the expense, even though I can afford it. I keep thinking to myself if I'm going to spend that much on a single clothing item, I'd like it to be something I wear on the outside, lol.

Thank you! I just checked out their site. I know my size. But, I didn't want to spend on the type that works for me. They are usually 80 at the other places. I'm ordering tonight!

Worth every penny IMO. If you are wearing a non-supportive bra, your most expensive top will look cheap and ill-fitting.

I go to someone Tova in Royal Lingerie on 49&13th I got one for 35-60$ she's reasonable and sometimes cheaper than online. Her daughter has a Lakewood location too

$70 seems high, unless you're a hard-to-find size. You can buy them for half the price at any department store. And half of that when they're on sale.

There are way cheaper options in department stores. And they often have buy 2 get 1 free or discounts. I don't have the easiest size and I mange to find proper support.
