Top Bras For Women Over 50: I tried 5 Different Bras To Find the Best One!

[@donnadrane4977]

I wear the Wacoal basic beauty bra, style 85192. I won’t say it’s the most comfortable bra I’ve ever worn, but it offers great support and the straps are set in so they don’t fall of my small sloped shoulders.

[@gwentexas]

Lots of girls who don't have mom's with this knowledge het much needed info from you.❤

[@andrearoberts2776]

Great video, Serena. I recently went to Soma and got measured, it had been a while. I purchased the bra they suggested. What a difference that made, I swear it looks like I lost 10lbs! People have even commented on my “weight loss”. It’s amazing what the right bra can do for the girls.😂

[@StylewithSerena]

It makes a huge difference!

[@lesann1896]

I think Warners smooth sides and back with light lining is great. Have worn those for years and I find them on Amazon sometimes for $15 or $19. They use to be $35-50 at other retailers!

[@elainealquitela3064]

This is a good topic Serena,I have been using all my life a wired bra amd lately as I am aging I’m beginning to hate wires so annoying,it would be nice to see options for unwired bras for different tops amd tees,thank you amd more power to your channel❤️

[@MJ-gw8mn]

Thank you so much for this video! I absolutely hate bra shopping because there are way too many choices and I end up frustrated. I appreciate you narrowing down selections which are high quality and affordable with the discounts you mention.

[@dawnwolfe4249]

I own the Wacoal and Chantelle bras you purchased and totally agree with your comments, Serena. My go-to is probably the Wacoal - and mine is pink, too. The Nordstrom fitting folks told me the Chantelle was a T-shirt bra and I questioned that. I don't think it is because you can see the lines, but unless you're wearing a tight-fitting white T-shirt, it's OK, IMHO. Chantelle may market it as a T-shirt bra, but I ended up buying a padded (ugh!) T-shirt bra. I agree in that I dislike those. I don't need more up top.

[@shogo8995]

Just this past week treated myself to new bras. It was past time. I always get fitted at Nordstrom because they’re the best, and I was surprised to find I had gone from a 36C to a 32 DDD. No wonder they were riding up! My favorite brands are Chantelle, Natori, and Walcoal. I came home with 2 of the same Walcoal back-smoothing bra that you are showing, and which are my long time favorite, as well as 2 Natori Liquid bras. Both fit well and are extremely comfortable. The cost was $300 for just 4, but well worth the price and I highly recommend.

[@evam.2101]

Must be nice to afford

[@shogo8995]

@@evam.2101 It is. Of course, I worked full time until I was 74 and my husband worked full time until 75 and now works part time. Not because we have to to make ends meet, but because we’re healthy and energetic and like to be able to take vacations and buy quality things. Of course we still make home cooked meals at least 6 nights a week and don’t throw money away on cigarettes; and we drive our cars until they die; so, there is that.

[@sassyt1545]

It took years, but finally Spanx listened to us and made the bra straps adjustable on their Bra-llelujah! When they were not adjustable, the bra constantly rode up in the back. I’m still hesitant to order because without back adjustability, it could still ride up. Serena, I only buy bras that have front adjusting bra straps. I currently have Warner bras that I love and the straps adjust in the front. 😉 Great video, as usual. 💗

[@KIG024]

I’ve been wearing no wire Spanx bras because I’ve never found a wired one that is comfortable. On your recommendation I just ordered two bralelujahs to try. The 2 for 1 sale is great; I’ve been registered with them for ages so I could not get the discount but I do appreciate the video. Thank you!

[@StylewithSerena]

I would encourage you to try the Chantelle brand from this video. It is sooo comfy!

[@KIG024]

They came and it was an object lesson in the truth that nothing fits every shape 😎 I ordered the size I wear in other Spanx bras and the bralelujah gaped in the front, did not support on the sides and was tight across the back. When I filled out the return form online I was kind of stumped whether to describe it as too big or too small, because it was both! Thank god for easy returns, and I never regret trying something new because you never know when the next thing will be perfect.

[@christianeraphael1270]

Thank you dear Serena 💐👍🏻 very good information, if I have a problem with clothes, it is definitely the bras. Now you offered such a variety, I am glad they are all with no padding! I myself think I look very silly with pumped up padded bras. The white T shirt was a very very good choice for the video, if there is anything of big importance it is how a bra looks under a garment. More so a tight one. This is what I think 😄. You already helped me finding a nice lounge bra, that was a 10 out of 10, thank you very much for this, too. Many greetings from across the ocean!

I would worry that the Spanx bra would stretch out with time. With only the one hook in the front it would be loose. But I like the strap adjustment in the front. I need to get fitted. However not all bra companies’ sizes are the same. It’s a dilemma when ordering online. And I wish these bras weren’t so expensive, even on sale!

[@StylewithSerena]

@@pamelamoniz608 Nordstrom has a very liberal return policy. And the SPANX bra has stretch but it isn't 1 size fits all. It still comes in band sizes. All these bras run tts for me.

[@barbaraweiss3119]

I was told at my bra fitting that when you go up in the band size, you go down in the cup size. So, you might need a 36 D in that wirefree Wacoal bra that runs tight.

[@ritastutler1470]

Great video Serena .. I was impressed by the one that was not an underwire. Sometimes in the evening I am afraid to just go braless, if someone stops by. That might be a good one for evenings. I have been a Bali bra girl and have tried every bra they make. Recently though a Vanity Fair was in my Amazon page. Thisis tmi but I have bigger headlights 😂 and so I like that little bit of thickness they put in ..,would not call it padding either like you said of the one bra, but my young neighbor came over and said “Wow, Rita you got a new bra..,the girls are looking good. “ I did think I told her I had one coming in. I still have heard so much about the first one I need to get that but after hearing about the Spanx I was pretty impressed. Great job. I need to get the nippies so I can wear the bras that are thinner. You look great Serena..very fit. It is too hot here to walk a lot , although I try to get some walking in everyday. Thanks again.❤❤❤ I have heard so much about Quince. I saw a simple dress by them and it was reasonably priced. Oh, and I love my Walmart shorts you have on. I wish I would have bought them in every color.

[@msmith7998]

I'm sure this has been mentioned previously, but I didn't see it in the comments. As a rule, when you go up a band size in your bra, you go down a cup size. For example, you mentioned generally wearing a 34DD bra. If you needed to go up to a 36 in the band of a particular bra, you should be going down one cup size so you would be looking to purchase a 36D. If you don't do this, the cup in the 36 will likely be too large. If you were to go down a band size to a 32, you would need to go up a cup size so the bra size you would be looking for would be a 32DDD.

Do you have a senior citizen who is thin and could probably still wear a training bra? I'm not trying to be funny. Some of us are small chested, and in spite of having very little, SAGS! I have problems with fibromyalgia and arthritis too so getting out and trying on several bras is a difficult task. Going without a bra makes me look as though I have had both breasts removed. Again, not kidding and not trying to be funny, or even hurtful to anyone who has had to undergo a mastectomy. I live in a bedroom community where we have a Kohl's, a Penny's, and a Belks, period. We also have a Walmart but they definitely don't do professional fitting there. It's quite obvious that you have the exact opposite problem, so if you or anyone else has any KZbin channel you can recommend for women like mem I'd appreciate hearing about it. I also am completely alone, having just lost my husband, so this is a venture I have to take by myself. Hopefully, someone reads my comment and can make a suggestion or two. Thank you.
