Hey Shroppie, I went to the sight and I am absolutley sure you are right. And guess what? There are 5 stores that carry it within running distance ;) from my home. Bless you dear lady. Yes, $65 is a lot of money but I only need one. Right? Thanks for "hooking" me up. This sight is the greatest. Now, let's see what other problems can I solve here.....let me think hmnnnnn.

Hm, well. . .is anyone smaller in size, like me? Frankly I'm always a little embarrased to buy bras because I need an add-a-size padded bra just to make me look semi-shapely. I'd never go to a fitter--would make me feel like a pre-teen (and I'm 50). If the straps don't stretch out first, the padding goes bad after a number of washes.

I just found this, too. Very funny, and peculiar the way the bra goes from an undergarment to an outer one as it ages!

Unless a bra is custom made for you, how is a bra fitter to provide you with such and such bra that is "the right size". I have the most discomfort with the band. If I buy for the comfort of the band, it is difficult to find the right cup size. There are only so many bands sizes and cup size combinations to choose from. It is limited. So, I could go in and try on numerous bras with all combinations of band size and cup size and still curse them all to hell. Then, there are those that cut into the armpit or those that leave love handles spilling out over the top of band. If all the bra fitter is doing is pulling the bras from the racks, what is the difference? Really, if there is a difference between me trying on various sizes and the bra fitter giving me ones to try, I seriously want to know, really. Some of you have been a fitter and maybe can address this. Do the bras get customized or custom made? Or, are they just pulled from the racks? I can try any and all from a 36 to a 40 in all cup sizes until I arrive at one that just falls off and that is the most comfortable one. So, I hang it back up and walk away braless, having found the one that I like the most.......the one that remains on the rack at the store. Those little hangers and the way they hang on the racks just makes me crazy. It is like juggling hair. I havd heard many attest to the fact that corsets are more comfortable than bras. Wearing bras is still a relatively modern thing as we know them to be. Most of female humanity has done quite well without them. Breasts are a functional part of female bodies and are often occupied by small infants. We need them to be accessible when needed to keep tiny helpless humans alive. Except that time has passed for me and I just want to be comfortable and wear warm soft undershirts and camisoles. Sometimes, though, a garment needs for the breasts to be in a certain position on the body for the garment to fit well and feel good. I try to avoid those types of things. Sometimes I have to dig out one of the varieties that I keep on hand and pull it on. It gets either unhooked or pulled off as soon as possible. I am too old to be uncomfortable or to care too much about what anyone thinks. Slinky tops are not my thing anyway and never have been.
