Well I went to the store and bought my first "girlish" bra that did not have pockets for a prothesis. Now don't get me wrong I truly appreciated those bra's with pockets when I needed them and who knows someday I may need them again. However, today I very quietly celebrated a little personal milestone by purchasing this bra. I wanted to share with you guys cause I know you understand.

Hugs,

    I hope...
    you got it at V.S. and that it cost a BUNDLE because you are worth every penny...and then some! Hugs.

    I (almost) know the feeling.
    I (almost) know the feeling. After my reduction/reconstruction I bought new bras C-cups. First time I had worn a C since I was 13 yrs old. LOL I was a DD all my life.

    It is a good feeling isn't it?

    Bra Shopping!!!
    How wonderful!!! I wouldn't know a well-fitting bra if it hit me in the forehead. ( which I admit, is highly unlikely!) Not having had any reconstruction, I have a much smaller, severely dented, and scarred right breast~ and I haven't found any bras specifically designed for that! LOL Truth be told, I haven't looked for any good fitting bras~ as long as the girls are up and not hitting my belly-button, I'm pretty happy for the most part :-)
    I have never even been IN a Victoria's Secret store~though Reggie's daughters seem to live there! LOL I have no clue what my bra size even is...I hold one up over my clothes at Ross and hope for the best!Sometimes they fit, sometimes they don't!

    So, sweet RE, with all you have been through, I am THRILLED that you went bra-shopping!!! Did you go to a specialty shop? A fitting? Or does your new PerkySet allow you to buy any bra you want? That would be awesome!!!

    Whoooo hooo!
    Hugs,

    New Bra
    Dear RE, I walked past the Lingerie section of a dpt. store just over the weekend and saw all the 2-boob bras that I took for granted once upon a time. So I understand for sure the quiet happiness of your new bra purchase. Thank you for sharing this milestone.

    Enjoy your lovely new bra (bet your hubby likes it, too), and many more to come. You may need a V.S. credit card!

    Claudia,
    I hate buying lingerie-have to be in the mood(with all the weight I've gained back after recovering from everything).
    But RE,so happy you got to celebrate-I can imagine what a great feeling it was! A big over due perk after all you've been through!

    You go girl!!
    Just a tip from the utimate bargin hunter....get a victoria secret's credit card. You will get free panty coupons (no purchase neccessary!) several times a year, plus coupons for $10.00 off bra purchases, plus $10.00 "happy Birthay" gift card (on minimum, just at least a $10.00 purchase - which makes it free), Angel only perks that give you all kinds of freebies with different purchases (even ones on sale!). Wow, I'm starting to sound like a commercial!! Trust me, it's worth it!! My latest purchase was an awesome Black Onepiece swimsuit (won't get to wear this year) that was on clearence. Here is how that transaction went...Clearance catalog, 70-90% off, free shipping that weekend, found $90.00 swimsuit maked down to $34.95, applied $10.00 Bithday gift card (shhhh, this one was husband'd birthday for his card), added tax, had a $30.00 credit from returned items, and after tax only owed $1.78!! Which I realized two statements later, they never billed me for. Hence...a vey sexy black swimsuit that hopefully will still fit me next year for nothing!!
    So happy for you RE!! Way to go!! :) Pammy

    RE, I bet that did feel good! I am so happy for you! There is no way

    that I can understand how that must have felt, but, you deserve all of the goodness and

    happiness that exists!

    And, I should own stock at Victoria's Secret! lol That is what my hubby always says

    anyway. But, I certainly don't hear him complain when I show him my purchases from there.


    ( wink, wink ) Hey, perhaps I do own stock there and I don't even know it. I best check our

    portfolio. hmmmm They even upgraded my Angel card to the Angel VIP status! :) So, I shop

    even more there now, if that is possible.

    Well, once again RE, so happy for you! That is a huge milestone!

    Love, Jeanne

    Good for you
    I am so happy for you. I'm not a bra wearer, but I have started to wear "pretty underwear" just cause and it feels so good and special. (I never did like wearing a bra, and wore overalls a lot B BC, just so I wouldn't have to.) AHHHHHHHH, too many "b's"! Lynn

    Re,
    Very happy that you have a pretty new bra. I told my daughter when we bought her first bra that nice, pretty underwear is important because it's something special you wear just for you. She has always loved pretty undies and bras. It makes you feel pretty from the skin out. Glad you are going to be so pretty, Re.
