| I normally wear a 32 C... Very easy to find anything will do. My pregnant self requires a 32 DD... Not as easy to find and I found that I needed actual support not just something cute. I ended up dropping 100 dollar on 2 bras... What do you normally spend on a bra? |

| I am usually a 34DD, not pregnant, so I usually have to spend that much on bras but I only have a couple that I hand wash frequently. Cute, flimsy bras are not for us busty types. |

| If I have the time to sort through the chaos, I can find acceptable bras for $20 at Marshalls. But well-constructed Ds and DDs in department stores usually run $40-50. And I do that on occasion, too, when I'm desperate. Agree with PP, I only have 3-4 that I ever wear. And several more that didn't turn out to be comfortable outside of the dressing room. |

| I used to buy at the department stores, but always ended up with bra lines on my t shirt. I now buy bras at target and they always look great. but I'm an A, so don't need a well-constructed bra (just a thick one to prevent nipple show-through when it is cold) |

| I finally spent $100 on 2 nursing bras after wearing crappy ones thru my first two babies and I'm so glad I did. |

If you ever get yourself professionally fitted for a bra, you will probably be surprised to see that your cup size goes up and your strap size goes down. I always thought I was a 36C and when I got measured, I am now a 34DD (or E) depending on the bra. I have bought a couple of expensive bras - $60+ and I rotate them. They have now last for a couple of years, but it is probably time to update them. |

$100 for two bras isn't excessive at all if they fit well.
If you are lucky, the target ones will do it for you. I found that the stitching was itchy and support was insufficient. I will pay whatever it takes for one of the rather ordinary Wacoal bras. Oh, I am a 34C. When I was nursing, I was a 40 DD - took a long time for my ribcage to go back where it was, so I own every size in between. Last time I wore a cheap bra, I thought I looked fine until I saw a picture of myself with uneven boobs. |

| I'll spend $70 on a well fitting bra. Important to have a good foundation. |

$50-$60 for a good bra. I rotate three or four over the course of three years, so I think that it's worth it. It was a revelation when I went from $30 VS bras to $60 Le Mystere bras. My entire posture seemed to improve. Clothes fit better. I looked more polished.

| I buy Le Mystere. I feel the $70 is well worth it. I am quite busty and need good support. |

| 30G while nursing. I'd spend whatever it takes if I could find a nice, supportive bra. |

| $15-$20. I buy the nicest bras in my size at Filene's. |

I'm a 36D and spend about $50 each on Wacoal bras.
Sometimes I find them at Nordstrom Rack for under $25 though. |
