I went a couple years where my bras no longer fit (weight gain), which was agony for a big-busted woman. I finally broke down and started trying on bras in stores and ordering online (sent to home). A must-have is the bra that is mostly cotton on the inside, particularly the inner cups. Out of 20 bras I tried on, only two fit, were comfortable, and had a lot of cotton: this Playtex 4608 and Fruit of the Loom 9292. Since the Playtex 4608 in my size is hard to find, I just bought 10 more 4608s (not joshing) of different colors--I don't want to run out. I can attest to the fact that an ill-fitting bra makes a woman feel miserable, particularly in summer. I won't go through that ordeal again.
