2 Bra and Intimates Sales, a Comparison

New fall colors are coming out in many of the bra and intimate styles we favor. The older ones are on sale! Sadly, sizes are limited. It seems to me that between Bravissimo and Bare Necessities new sales, he easiest and fastest way to find the styles on sale in your size is to go to Bravissimo’s sale, and shop by your band and cup size.

I have a detailed description of how to do just that, currently, at the top of our large cup size bras page.

Having said that you can shop Bare Necessities and get an extra 30% Off Clearance Sale, (until 7/31), and enjoy these clearance styles with an additional discount!

Just one problem, if you shop Bare Necessities by bra size to speed our search, often they will have a sizes in their sale section’s left column shop by bra size menu, that have no sale colors available in a given size you selected.

I found this to be the case in 2 out of 3 bra sizes I gave their current sale’s search facility this AM.

This means it might take longer to shop styles that are in their clearance, that have more than one color, that you were interested in at Clearance prices with a discount prices. No problem at all are styles given on just one color, such as the lace version of Le Mystere’s lace Tisha bras, in rose quartz below. These bras are on sale just in this color and many sizes are available up to 40G
 

Note the code in Bare Necessities’’ Take an Additional 30% OFF Clearance Styles with code EXTRA30 at BareNecessities.com. Ends 07.31.12. and use it to go straight to their sale.

Or, if you find a style that is not in clearance that you want, you can use their 10% off discount code: EBTS10, (from their link currently at the top of our full figure bras, up to H cup size, page), to enjoy it for less!

You can use this Bravissimo  link to go straight to their current sale, then browse by;

• Category
• Bra Band size
•  and Cup size
• Or Shop the Whole Sale 

I do not know how long this sale will last but Bravissimo has bras in band sizes 28 to 40 and cup sizes D to L!

Cooling, Beautiful Space Bras

10% discount code at end of post!

Bare Necessities recommends Space Bras for helping us take the heat of summer!

Spacer Bras provide modesty and airflow with their breathable, lightweight foam contour cups. The cups of these bras are constructed in layers that allow air to pass through. This helps keep you cool in the warmer weather!

Bare Necessities’ best sellers of this style begin with Elomi’s Hermione full figure and large cup size bras, which now come in charcoal, fawn and a new navy color! I wear these bras and if you are full busted, you really should try them if for no other reason, the COMFY STRAPS!!

Some other Spacer Bras Bare Necessities also recommends these pretty Fantasie bras. They have 4, mixed reviews at Her Room and five 5 star reviews at Bare Necessities below! They come in sizes 30 to 36DD to GG, 38DD to G and 40DD to F.
 
They also recommend what appear to be the spacer bra version of Chantelle’s C Chic bras!


Not among the 21 spacer bras Bare Necessities suggests

 This, and another Chantelle bra I wrote about here, are the first spacer bras I think I ever saw.

The more standard looking spacer / T-shirt bra that article looks at is still available in stores, for $80. I had to look and found: Today, using this Chantelle 3951 bras, New With Tags at eBay stores link, I am finding them in a variety of sizes, at Buy it Now, not bid, prices, starting at $23!

I did not find this bra below with the unique strap seems to be out of stock everywhere, including eBay stores, Except Bigger Bras. They have it, in nude, in size 34E and say they can back-order it, in black, white and nude, in all sizes 32 to 40B, C and D and 32 to 38E.
 
 I suggest ordering from eBay stores if you are especially confident about your size in the bra you are shopping.

I did that for over a year, with great success! Since I have been working out, I do not really know my bra size.
This means I will be sticking to stores until I do!

Here is a discount code we can use at Bare Necessities, until 1/15/13! Enjoy 10% Off with code EBTS10 at BareNecessities.com. Now hopefully this will make trying new bras, spacer ones or not, much easier!

True this is, price wise, an extreme example of an excellent find at this sale, but you can shop it by bra size, and it is well worth browsing!

 The Difference between shopping the sales at Figleaves and Bare Necessities by Bra Size


Bare Necessities is having an Up to 70% Off Hundreds of Clearance Styles Blowout sale: This is great and their link is in the left column.


I like shopping Bare Necessities, and once you do, they send you discount coupons from time to time!


However, at this particular blowout sale, (I find this is sometimes the case with them, sometimes not):

• They will say they have styles in my size on sale.
• This time it is four bras.
• Each one has sale colors or a color 
• and it is not available in my bra size. 

This sort of thing does not happen at Figleaves. 


When you shop by bra size there, it will be in stock in the sale version, or it will not come up in the search.


Both great stores, but just so you know…

Both Bare Necessities and Her Room have Elomi’s best selling, oh so comfy strap Hermione bras in its new solid navy color! They both have them in sizes 34G to HH, 36 to 40DD to HH, 42DD to H, 44DD to GG and 46DD to FF.

Marlies Dekkers Unique Bras and a nice Deal

To go with them

In addition, a brief look at Slightly less affordable styles at eBay stores

 If you wear bras in the 32 to 38B to F and 40D to E range Bare Necessities has six full figure Marlies Dekkers bras that come with Free Cotton Tank Tops for you to check out. The unique neckline or over bust straps of Marlies Dekkers bras are perfect with these tank tops as you can see from this picture of them together: Sorry, it is just a picture, but the tank tops come in black or white in sizes small to extra large, while supplies last…or until 7/9/12.

This black version of the above shown with tank top Dewberry color, (which Bare Necessities has too!), comes in sizes 32 to 36A to E and 38B to E. but it also has a review of this bra style, as shown above, as much an accessory as a bra. The woman, (who wears a 34D), who reviews it tells us the bra itself is awesome and so comfy she forgets she has it on!
 
This one above if from their whole, (34, many of which are thongs), selection of Marlies Dekkers styles.

This one is from the Marlies Dekkers bras found in Bare Necessities’ bp, (Bare Plus), section which the sizes in the 1st paragraph her refer to.
 
Here it is pictured with one of the Free black tank tops!

Just because I am curious, I had to check out Marlies Dekker bras at eBay

I can say for the styles above and others that Bare Necessities has currently, the prices are much the same. These are pricey bras: The ones at Bare Necessities are in the $85 to $121 range.

However, for more unique Marlies Dekker styles in even more limited sizes, but worth browsing, and for a bit less! This style whose cup, (note the signature Marlies Dekker over bust strap draped above the cup), is available in sizes 36A and B and 32B.

Here is another unique print bra style also for $80, at Buy it Now prices, both with Free Shipping and New With Tags at eBay stores today!

Just use this New With Tags Marlies Dekker Bras at eBay stores link to browse what is on available when you are reading this. Who know what sizes and styles will show up at what prices!

Actually there are currently several other uniquely printed with original over bust, (or perhaps neckline?), straps you will find at that link today, some for $70!

The Bare Necessities offer is excellent though. The shipping will be free, because they give free shipping on orders of $70 and the cotton tank tops are a $45 value.
My tanks and Tees are quite often of the cheaper variety…

If I can get down to a smaller size
Or If Marlies Dekker eventually makes larger bras
I plan to try them!
Perhaps we will meet in the middle!
