RE: Bra Poll!

1. Do you buy at discount department stores (Target, Walmart), department stores (Macy's etc.), chain stores (Victoria Secret, etc.) or specialty stores?

I primarily buy my stuff at discount department stores or VS. I get most of my stuff at discount stores, but I also get some of them from VS. Depends on what I want, quality or fun ones.

2. Do you match your panties to your bras? Do all your panties have a matching bra or do you have non matching ones too, if you match in the first place?

I have quite a few matching sets; I was really into it for awhile. However, I usually don't match, it's just too much work.

3. Where do you stand on white bras? Nude bras hide better under white tops, so what's the point of a white bra?

Though I agree that nude bras are the only way to go with white tops, I do own quite a few white bras. I just wear them under colored tops where you can't tell what color the bra is.

4. Have you been professionally fitted, or do you size yourself?

I size myself but have been sized in the past. I need to do that again. I think that my boobs shrank.

5. Do you wear fun/printed bras day-to-day? (I'm not asking about romantic sets, I'm asking if you wear crazy prints around town).

I don't usually wear fun/print bras, but my underbritches are usually fun.

1. Only Victoria's Secret because nothing else fits right and the rest wear out sooooo fast.

2. Yes. They match. Although I do allow myself a bright thong if I have to wear a nude bra under a white tee.

3. I don't think nude bra straps should ever show - they're for when you want to pretend you have no underwear. So I use white or pink bras if the straps will show. I've also noticed, btw, that boys think lacy white bra and panty sets are HOT.

4. I have been professionally fitted, but bra sizes vary, so you really kind of have to have the common sense to try things on and see if they make bulges anywhere, anyway, so I dont' think it matters.

5. I do wear fun prints day to day, but it's kind of hard because I tend to wear light colored shirts. So I end up in the pink and white and nude ones all the time, even though I like the bright ones better. I need to wear more blackk or something, then I could use all my bras all the time. As it is, I have to plan my outfits AND underwear ahead. Which even I can admit is a little much.
