I'm in need of a few very good bras (no laughing please). It seems that all my bras I have seem to have the same problem of the straps falling down my arms. I always have them adjusted too.
What brand bras do you find to be the most comfortable and especially free of this little problem?
BTW, I'm size 34B ;-)
thanks in advance
 
I have major bra issues too, LOL! I'm the same size as you, but maybe almost an A cup. So, 34A-1/2 (that's probably my problem). I hate hate bras. I wish I could just wear a sports bra all the time. I would except they flatten me out like a pan cake.;-) I have yet to find a comfortable bra that makes me look half way decent. Where do can you buy a Wacoal bra?
 
For the past 3 or so years I've been wearing Olga style 33032. It is an underwire but this style has been the most comfortable bra I've ever worn. Olga puts cushioning over the wire so that it doesn't cut your skin like some underwires do. This bra is lacey and has stretchy straps. (is there such a word haha) The only thing I have to be careful of, is tops that are more sheer as the lace will show through. I think the colors come in white and black.
I buy them when they have a buy two get one free sale.
So this may or may not be an option for you. :D
 
This one is easy for me, I love the racerback bra by Body Victoria Secret. I had the same problem you did falling off my shoulders that is why I got the racerback. I've been wearing them for a few years now and I just brought 2 yesterday at their store. They are alot of money from $38 to around $40 but to me it is well worth it as it is the most comfortable bra I wear.

I have such a hard time finding bras that fit well and are comfortable (I'm a 36A-very broad back and small breasts). But the other day I was shopping and on a whim tried on some bras from the Gap. I love love them!!! They are the most comfortable bras I have ever had on. The quality seems excellent and they wash well.
Good luck on your bra quest!

Used to have the same problem with the straps falling off my shoulders. I found a bra at Title Nine Sports that I love. It is an underwire and the straps ar inset so that they don't fall off the shoulders. I now have 3 and I'm thinking of buying more.
 
Just to chime in here, Kelly are these bra very expensive and can you get them on line? I like the idea of inset straps. TIA :D
 
Hi Tia, Yes I ordered mine online. Go to titleninesports.com, click bras and undies, then underwire bras, and it is the T9 Lace Underwire. It is kind of expensive at $35, but so worth it. I have very narrow shoulders and had always had the problem until I bought these bras. And the straps are inset enough that they don't show with most, not all, sleeveless shirts.
 
thanks to all replies

Well, i found out things i don't want to know yesterday at Victoria secret looking at the bras. I went in and told the lady my bra issues so she wanted to measure me. Guess what she tells me?
I'm an A cup, not a B cup:( :( :(
Now that was information i just didn't need to know!!!

I did buy the racerback bra and have it on now, seems to be pretty comfortable. WAs kind of costly at $38. I appreciate all the replies, i was kind of in a hurry to get a new bra so didn't want to mess with ordering online, although I do have all the suggestions bookmarked for future reference for purchase.

thanks so much for all the great suggestions!:7
 
Hey Becky!

I'm built just like you, same size. I've had great success with several styles by Wacoal and by Le Mystere. Both brands are ULTRA expensive (I mean, $35 - $40 per bra) but I have really found them worth every penny. Wacoal is carried by a lot of the more upscale department stores (Nordstrom, Saks, Neiman Marcus, and here in Atlanta Macy's-Rich's). Le Mystere I'm pretty new to, and just found this brand at Neiman's. Since they're so expensive I have been treating myself to one new one every three or four months, and phasing out my older bras.
