the trouble with having bras that fit --
-- is that you're so much more acutely aware of the ones that don't.
i have a source for bras that fit well here in the UK, so for now i'm all set. but in the US, it's been ages since i bought a bra from anywhere other than Victoria's Secret, which, between my discovery of what a bra feels like when it fits properly and their redesigns to the detriment of anyone over about a B cup (memo: stretchy is not especially supportive, yo!, and also, if the straps are adjustable, they should stay where a girl puts them; this business of the weight of the breast pulling the slide back down? not on), i'm thinking i'll need to switch. who has recommendations?
positive features: i am in favor of colors, but not so much of decoration. i find lace to be scratchy and unpleasant, and also to show through quite a lot. should really be opaque. machine washable is good; i hang them to dry, but i can so rarely be arsed to wash by hand. 36DD at the moment (36E in british), but who knows, that could change.
