This could be a very expensive addiction...

I've discovered the joy of French bras. As in, $50-$100 each, _well-constructed and supportive_ beautiful French lingerie bras.

Though I am not especially large chested (36B or C), I do require a bit more support than most ordinary bras offer, because I am not 20 and my smallish breasts are migrating south... Most of the bras I find in my size are very flimsy, or padded/molded cup (ewwww). And "support" bras are either (a) ugly or (b) don't come in my size, or both.

So I wandered into Saks 5th Avenue a few days ago, and found that they have several lines of bras that are supportive _and_ lovely. Wacoal is the least expensive (at $30-$50) -- and often shows up at Filene's Basement at Downtown Crossing for much lower prices. They also have Natori. But the ones I found are from Aubade and Chantelle, and are made in France. The Aubade bra is white cotton and looks a little flimsy, but is not. The Chantelle is more modest, and a beautiful sea=green lace. $138 for two bras... eep!

(I also got the matching thong with the Aubade bra, and I am sure that certain people will appreciate it :)
