What are your favorite fun bra brands?
After 30 years of waiting I have finally gotten myself small boobs! Dreaming about what I could wear is helping me get through surgery recovery. I never was small enough, even as a kid, to wear those cheap, colorful, fun, or patterned bra(lets.). I think my first bra in elementary school was a c! The style I’m looking for could be, for example, covered in fruit, neon lace, stripes, or something wacky... and definitely no underwire! I don’t know my size yet but think somewhere around 36Cish or smaller. What brands, shops, search terms should I look for?

I was you a few years ago! I love my TomboyX bras and bralettes, and I have some nice bralettes that are really versatile from Lively. But honestly, the best thing in the world is being able to throw a pack of bralettes from Costco in my cart and knowing they'll fit. Oh man, and being able to wear racerback sports bras opened up a while new workout wardrobe option for me. Enjoy!

Best answer: MeUndies has lots of cute prints and a few different styles of bralettes. I’m way out of their bra size range but in your shoes I’d check those out.

Best answer: I've got a couple real cute bralettes from Parade. With an outsize boob to band ratio I'm really not in their size range but I've gone back because they're cute and I'm stupid. See. You'd fit them much better I bet.

Best answer: I have been through a lot of bras in my lifetime, and most recently I have been buying them from Smart & Sexy. Originally found them on Amazon, but now buy from their dedicated website. Well made, and priced at $15-20 a piece, a fair price, and they have a ton of wild colors. Here is a link to their wire free bras.

Look at Cosabella, Free People, etc. I still think it’s worth going to Nordstrom for bra stuff, although the knowledgeability of their lingerie dept staff is not what it used to be.

Natori has a nice range of colors and are actually good, supportive, comfortable bras. I’ve bought this one for years.

+1 to Natori, but my preferred bra is the feathers. It's carried at Nordstrom/Bloomingdales if you want to do some in-person shopping.

Best answer: Congratulations!
Blush Lingerie is fun, lots of mesh.
Nooworks is known for their prints - they only have one cut of bra though.
I wouldn't say I recommend Victoria's Secret, but last I heard, the biggest cup size they carry in stores is a D. So you might enjoy browsing there and knowing that they'll have things that fit you. Same goes for any mall shop with a small intimates section like H&M, the Gap, etc.
If you find one you really like but it has an underwire, you can remove it. Also the underwire isn't supposed to be uncomfortable if the bra right. That said, I stopped wearing underwires and don't see myself going back except for things I don't expect to wear for very long.
Also I swear I have seen more bras with fun and silly prints but for the life of me I can't find them now. I hope they come back soon.

You might want to check out the b.tempt'd line from Wacoal. They have more fun and colorful styles than the regular Wacoal line.
