Nordstrom Bras, Part Three
So I went back to Nordstrom today to return the Feathers and the Rive Gauche, hoping to find a nude bra and a black bra in 30 band that fit well and were cheaper to replace them. The same fitter who worked with me last time was there, and as soon as she spotted me, promised to help ASAP. I was pleased to find the C Chic that had been on the sale rack last time was still there - snatched that one up quick - and grabbed a Calvin Klein Customized Lift in nude to try on as well. My fitter brought me a few other cheap bras in nude, but all with 32 bands, sadly.
When I tried on the Calvin Klein, I had the worst quadboob I have ever seen! She told me that because it's a push-up, it's supposed to look that way, but I really didn't think that was true. I almost bought it, too, but settled with only purchasing the second C Chic. So now I have two C Chic bras that fit, and a Natori bra that is too big in the band but is absolutely beautiful.
I think I'll try ordering from Nordstrom online, or from other places. I was disappointed that they didn't have the 30 band in stores that they have online. There's also a small lingerie boutique near my house that I might visit for the first time tomorrow, because while the C Chics fit perfectly, I will need to wear a camisole or undershirt of some kind with them with most shirts, and I would like to get a few bras that I don't have to do that with, as well as at least one nude bra.
How many bras do I need, really? I know you're not supposed to wear them multiple days in a row without washing is the thing, and I visit places a lot where I won't have the ability to wash them for a few days. I'm also concerned, though, that if I start having tissue migration all these new bras will be for naught.

I tend to order online because they never have many 34s in store and seem to have a lot of 30s in stock near me. Funny how that happens :)
How many do you need? As many as you'd like :) But people tend to say "one to wash, one to wear, and one to spare". I never wear the same bra 2 days in a row, so it does help to have 2 bras the same style to help with that. Have you considered using a rixie clip on the Natori bra?
I'll trade you all the 34's near me for your 30's :)
This is the first I've ever heard of the Rixie Clip, but that sounds like the most incredible thing. I'll have to order one just to have soon!
