raindrops Posted April 28, 2013 Author Share Posted April 28, 2013 Maybe some fellow 36aers can help me out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magnificent_baby Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 That's not my size, but I really like Bali brand from Kohls. There is another brand I like from there too, but cannot recall the name now. I much prefer Kohls selection over VS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momling Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 I used to think I was a 36a until I actually got measured and found I was more of a 34b or c. You might fool around with other sizes as A cups are hard to find. Bali are nice and not too pricey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kim in Appalachia Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 I just saw some nice ones at JCP's. I don't remember the brand. It may have been Bali. They were a "soft" bra, no padding, but they were double lined. At the moment I can't remember the name either, it was something like, "Just My Fit". Each bra covered a few sizes. I thought they were going to be perfect for my dd, but you needed to be a 36. There were a few other brands there as well, that looked like they would work for either a A or B cup, as long as you're a 36. My dd needs 34.

Starr Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 I find the Bali outlet carries many different choices and have all the sizes available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robin M Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 I've given up on bras since my last favorite comfortable bra broke and now use petals. The bra Kim is talking from JC Penny's I think is warners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostSurprise Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Usually between Target and Kohls you'll find at least one brand which will be more 'natural' (which I interpret as lined but not padded, minimal or no underwire, plus not hideously ugly). I'm thinking of trying ISIS next. They have a few unpadded bras in smaller cup sizes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dahliarw Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Yes, I am wearing it now, actually! http://www.onehanesp...earchTerm=21158 (it is really hard to find good bras in 36a!). I like this one because it has just enough lining and concealing that I can wear under a t-shirt with no show through, but it's not like a miracle bra that pushes things together and up, which I really dislike.

raindrops Posted April 29, 2013 Author Share Posted April 29, 2013 Wow, thanks! This one looks great! (http://www.onehanesp...earchTerm=21158) I'll give it a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgo95 Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 I like barely there bras as well. They also have this one: http://www.onehanesplace.com/outlet/bras/wirefree-bras-%28all%29/barely-there-invisible-look-wirefree-bra?cm_vc=OnsiteSearch&cmFV=, which I like a lot. You can find it at Kohls in the store or at Target (under a different brand called Beyond Bare--it's basically the same bra) for $17-24.

bolt. Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 You should check 34A sizes for one you like (there are a lot more As at 34) then just use a bra extender to reach 36 for the band length. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PinkyandtheBrains. Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Maidenform Comfort Devotion bra's are soft, and come in A cups. There are push-up and non push up options in them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSOchristie Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 http://www.victoriassecret.com/bras/cotton-lingerie/wireless-bra-cotton-lingerie?ProductID=87323&CatalogueType=OLS These are my favorites, they are lined but not padded, no wire, and cotton. They are super comfortable, and natural looking while giving just a little shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paige Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 I don't wear that size but I am small and hard to fit and love The Little Bra Company. They are a little more expensive than department store brands but not too bad if you can catch a sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KungFuPanda Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 My favorite bra was Body By Victoria. I'd have stocked up if I knew they'd quit making them. It's a soft cup with no wire and thick lining, but it's not padded. I have ONE. It's ridiculous what bras can cost. I understand the need for pricey bras when you demand significant support, but a 36A shouldn't be $40. Also, it shouldn't be impossible to find a bra that size without a wire or padding. I don't need or want either. Is it impossible for bra manufacturers to believe that some of us are HAPPY to be small and don't WANT to look larger? I'm test driving a Warner's bra now that's similiar to my favorite one. I think it's as close as I'm going to get :-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lailasmum Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Gap do nice smaller sized bras. Their shape is very natural and they have several wireless options.. I was a 36a for a long time and did find specialist bras companies did nice bras but I don't know what companies are around now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fairfarmhand Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Yes, I am wearing it now, actually! http://www.onehanesp...earchTerm=21158 (it is really hard to find good bras in 36a!). I like this one because it has just enough lining and concealing that I can wear under a t-shirt with no show through, but it's not like a miracle bra that pushes things together and up, which I really dislike. Why is is so hard to find these? It's so silly. And just because I am small doesn't mean that I always want to look bigger. I am fine with the size that I am. (most of the time!) You should check 34A sizes for one you like (there are a lot more As at 34) then just use a bra extender to reach 36 for the band length. The problem with this approach (at least for me) is that the cups are too close together on the front of my body. I end up with armpit overhang if I try a 34 and if there is a wire it can be downright painful. At least for me. I will admit that I have fairly decent arm and shoulder muscling because of my farm chores, so that could be the problem too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MomsintheGarden Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 If you have a Nordstrom store near you, I highly recommend getting measured there, just to be sure. DD and I went a couple of years ago and I was shocked at how different my real size was from the size I thought I was! I am not your size, but I like ones by Chanterelle. They are very expensive if you buy them in stores, though, but you can find them much cheaper online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dahliarw Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Thanks Dahliarw. I received http://www.onehanesp...earchTerm=21158 today, and it's perfect. Yay! Glad it's working for you! I need to order more myself (I only ordered one to make sure I liked it). I'm hoping thely'll have them at the outlet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raindrops Posted May 3, 2013 Author Share Posted May 3, 2013 They have them on amazon.com now for only about $17... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
