I'm a 36D so, for me, a better quality (ie: higher priced) bra is essential. It doesn't have to be VS, though.

Well I'm too big for VS now so I buy Bali's at Kohls. I used to buy VS though when they have their semi-annual sales and I loved them. But I need a nice bra with enough support, so it's a major issue for me.

Oh I hate when that happens!! I don't even buy underwire bras anymore because no matter what the brand they always break on me & that hurts!! Especially sucks in the middle of a day at work & you can't do anything about it! But I dont really have big enough "goodies" to need underwire so its ok...and to the person posting about Lane Bryant...I agree & recommend them for the bigger sizes both in bras & clothing...I buy alot from there...they are very friendly & its nice to shop around people your own size not people staring at your like your a freak just cuz your big!

I am a small-chested gal, too. I don't really care for VS bras. They are just OK. I do LOVE the Gilligan & O'Malley Ultimate Favorite Fit Bra that I've purchased at Target before. Actually any and all of the G & O bras are great.

They fit my very small frame so well. And I find that is very difficult to do. LOL. I also love my Wonder Bras Intimates - Intimates Brands at Kohls.com
from Kohl's if you're looking to add a size (they are not on sale today 6/10, but if you wait they have great sales frequently). Both of these brands are MUCH cheaper than a VS bra, too.
