oh my gosh really??
i have bought foh bras and oh my gosh they just fall apart. i've had the gel in a cup break on my dress. everything in that store is just trashy looking. victorias secret is much more classier than foh, absolutely! really? foh sells gross lingerie, weird bright colors. everything is so cheap and tasteless. vs has remarked their look. they are trying to bring sophisticated back. thats why they dumped sleazy things like sexy santa outfits.

Oh wow, I didn't know people were still replying to this post.
But anyways, to update you guys with what happened.
I ended up getting a bra from barenecessities. The sizes their run abit smaller than La senza, (a canadian store i think?) which is where I usually get my bras from. The bras at barenecessities are a bit pricier, but they're very nice and I just love the one I got!
I tried ordering something from VS later... The quality of their bra actually isn't that good despite it's popularity... The fabric was very scratchy and cheaply made in my opinion, but it could have been just that one bra.

Nordstrom!! But wait til the anniversary or half yearly and stock up.
They Have Freya I believe which fits the bigger busted gals... sadly I am not but was so intrigued by the pretty styles and sadened when they didn't make my size.
I bought four or five bras including panties and spent under $200, ladies that is a good deal considering a bra is your foundation. If you have not been fitted before it is important that you do so, so many get tied up in 34C that they aren't doing their curves justice. So work it and buy a lovely bra that doesn't pinch or move when you do!

I used to buy all of my bras from Nordstrom (mainly Chantelle or Le Mystere brands) and would spend an arm and a leg. Lately, I've been buying from Fredericks because I found out they have my size! So far, I like them. The price is right and the quality is great. They aren't quite as comfy for long day wearing as my $80 bras, but I am overall really happy!

My dear,
Kohl's - Wonder Bras. They really do wonders.
For cute bras, I go to forever 21. Seriously, they sell some of the cutest stuff, and for cheap. I have at least 4 cute little bras from there and I plan to get more <3 just wearing them around to lounge makes me feel that much sexier.

I get ALL my bras from Victoria's Secret online in the clearance section for really cheap! I don't pay more than $25 for mine. They fit me sooo well and last a long time if cared for properly. I hand wash or use the gentle cycle on mine and never ever throw in the dryer. I hang dry them and place them facing up in my dresser so it won't get squished and change the shape of the cups. When a bra comes out that I want, I wait for it to go on sale and 9 times out of 10, it does. I can't justify paying $50 for a new bra when I know it's probably going to go on sale in a few months (or less).
Before college (like 5 years ago), I used to buy my bras from this place called VF Factory Outlet. They are located at random outlet malls. They have decent bras and they go on super sale sometimes ($3 or $5 each). Some of the brands include Lily of France, Maidenform, etc. However, the quality isn't as great and they don't last nearly as long. If you're on a budget, you should check those places out.
Some other good places to check out are Marshalls/Ross/TJ Maxx. They have a lingerie section and usually have a decent selection of bras. Sometimes you find really good ones there (Calvin Klein etc.) for quite a deal. Always always try on the bras even if it's in the size you normally buy because different brands run big/small.

I've found that the VS ones run large. I wear a 34F or E normally in the niche brands at home here ( Norway ) while I ordered a 34DD on eBay and found it fits beautifully so I got some more. The H&M ones look terrible and gives me panzer boobs, the shape they give with clothes over is just very unflattering on me.
The chain I buy from is called "Change" not sure if you have access to that brand or the other brands they sell.

VS is overrated when it comes to bras. Their bras are not good quality.

Around where I live the only place that has decent bras I believe is Victoria Secret.

This fits with my own experiences as well.
I would guess that my bra collection consists of around 80 % Victoria Secret bras. But be aware that this is very addictive. I had a friend who always bought her bras through Hennes & Mauritz (cheap,cheap, cheap) because she didn´t see the value in paying 25-30 $ for a bra. When I gave her a Victoria Secret one for her birthday she completely changed her mind and I guess her "VS - other cheap brands" ratio is around 80/20 now as well.
