Bra help!

It seems like there are a ton of bras out there, but none work for me, and I'm starting to feel a little overwhelmed! I'm a 48c, and my biggest problem with finding a bra that fits is that I have "side boob fat" that will cause the sides of bras to ride up or just be super uncomfortable. Anyone have any experience with this and know what type of

Agree with the other commenters that a fit check is in order. If you have a Lane Bryant near you, I've had very good luck with their Cacique line of cotton-blend bras. I'm a 46DDD (aka 46F) who *CANNOT* wear underwire, and I have very sloping shoulders, so I have to find bras with wide straps and wide band elastic, and their bras work very well for me. Good luck!

I had a similar side-fat problem but went down a few band sizes and up a few cup sizes (from 48D to 44E) and everything was much better.

You're probably considerably slimmer around and considerably larger in the cup than your current bra. I'd recommend getting a good fitting. A lot of women are wearing the wrong size bra.

Lane Bryant is a terrible place to get fitted. At my largest, I was properly fitted at Nordstrom--those folks know what they're doing. I've also been fitted properly at Soma. I agree with the poster that said independent bra shops are also good places to get fitted.
