I LOVE them and feel so girlie and extravagant...despite the fact they were totally affordable and from Kohls! I now own leopard print, zebra print and some lovely lacy little numbers (all with supreme lift to get the saggy twins back up where they belong). I even popped for matching undies, which is shocking given that I have never worn matched sets in my life before! It's a new me!

Unfortunately I'm not so lucky as to be able to shop at Victoria's Secret. See, I was a 40DD before pregnancy. After? I'm a 36-38 DD. I defy you to find anything sexy and supportive in a size that large. You can have supportive or you can have the kind of thing you expect to be there just for show. You can't have both. So tell me rookie moms? Where's the place to shop for good lingerie if you're a large breasted woman? (And don't even get me started on trying to find nursing bras. Now THAT was a fiasco and a half....) Nice idea and one I’d love to take to heart. Unfortunately I’m not so lucky as to be able to shop at Victoria’s Secret. See, I was a 40DD before pregnancy.

Getting changed is such a rush I don't even look just grab nowadays. I have a big mix of multsized bras after 3 pregnancies and nursing. Finding the time to weed out the ones that don't fit is my problem....and weeping over the ones that look like tents. Never being that size again lol :) Great post.

Don't be sad! I try to think of them as demure and refined ... and I shop intimissimi (VS just started carrying some of their stuff) because they have such pretty, soft bras that don't presume you want padding out to THERE. :) The big, unrefined nursing boobies WERE fun while they lasted though ... le sigh.
