if I'd known I'd have stocked up

[resonant]

Went bra shopping for the first time in, mm, maybe six years? And in the intervening time, it appears that underwires have become vastly less fashionable and now everybody's all about the wirefree? If I'm going to wear an entirely new *type* of bra, I'm going to have to actually try them on, oh woe and bitter wormwoods. And my old type (unlined, cotton) are available, but only in black, white, and "flesh."

My Bra Style Is Discontinued is a more precise age description than Late Middle Age.

I discovered an underwire bra with gentle padding all over—more comfortable than anything I’d ever worn. Got 5 of them at Kohl’s. I’m hoping comfy underwires will ba back in fashion the week mine all fail.

If you know your bra size, may I suggest you check out HerRoom? They have everything and as someone with large boobs who prefers certain styles of bras, my general habit is to get fitted at Nordstrom's (they do it properly) and then buy online from that site or elsewhere.

I will only say, with a big sigh, that I hear you on this.

... Well, and that I hate fitting rooms.

Trying to find an underwire or any bra that fits is a nightmare. It's like a conspiracy.

I dread when the ones I have finally give up the ghost.
