Not the kind of support you get from your husband or girlfriends. The kind of support that you need under your clothes. This is going to get a tiny bit personal so if you suffer type 2 embarrassment with these kinds of subjects you might not want to read on.
I got a wonderful new bra and I just want to bear testimony of the truthfulness of the bra fitters at Dillards. Yes, it was a little embarrassing and awkward to have someone measure my breasts. Yes, she saw my special Mormon underwear but yes, she had seen it before. I told her my desires in a bra, support on the sides as well as underneath, slightly padded so nothing embarrassing shows when I wear t-shirts and comfy straps. She took all of this information and left the dressing room and then came back with one bra for me try on.
It's true - she only brought me one bra and it was a perfect fit. It was a different size than I had been wearing but it was perfect. I told the nice bra fitting lady that she was a genius and shelled out the forty bucks! Now that I have worn it for a few days I am going back to get some more - my boobs are where they are supposed to be at last!
If that is too embarrassing for you - I have another option. http://www.zafu.com/ is an amazing resource for finding the perfect bra. It is how I found my last few bras. It tells you how to measure yourself, asks you what you want or need in a bra and then shows you where you can buy the perfect one for you. They do jeans too! It is a great place.
I have one more unnecessary detail of my life that I am going to share for the sake of full disclosure. I wear SPANX. I love them. When you have a soft tummy like mine, SPANX is the answer. It is not just an ordinary girdle but a slimmer that completely eliminates the "muffin top" you get when have a soft tummy and your jeans are a little tight in the waist.
Feel like you know me too well? Be careful, I have been known to lift up my shirt and show my friends when I get a new bra. Need to know more? E-mail me and I will tell you the brand name and the name of the nice lady at Superstition Springs Dillards.

I love all these juicy details of your life. I know of your great love for the spanx and I really need to try it but now you have the perfect bra too. You must be in heaven. I will have to get me some boobs in the right place bra too what would that be like? Oh ya, you already know. hehehe
I have a strong testimony of appropriate undergarments. I think the right ones take 5 pounds off instantly!
I have the cheap-o spanx from Target made by the same company as the real ones. My favorite bra is also from Dillard's: the brand is LUNAIRE!
BTW, love your hair!! I love the feeling of a new haircut and color. I also love a good bra. For the boobless people out there, finding a bra that "enhances" without making you look like you're 12 and just getting boobies is not easy. I love Victoria's Secret very sexy bra. Just don't hug me too hard when I'm wearing it. :) It might pop.;)
It was so good to see your comment on my blog. Blast from the past! I do miss girls camp. My parents went a few weeks ago and it made me think of how fun it was. I look back and I really think that I where I gained my testimony was at girls camp. Your kids are getting so big. Oh my gosh are your twins really 13?! That's amazing. I can remember when Salena and I would babysit after church when you had meetings. Wow time does fly. Where are you guys living now? It was so good to hear from you.
Wow I really need a pair of spanx. I know all about the muffin top from "twin skin"!
And, your new hair-do looks so adorable!
I'm a Victoria Secret women myself, but am open to other options. I am in need of some new very supportive bra's maybe I will give Dillards a try. BTW, LOVE Spanx!
