Originally Written in August of 2012, at this June 2014 Update, much has changed and will no doubt continue to change. Although, surprisingly, much more has stayed the same!
I will continue to try to update this page as best I can.
Bare Necessities Best Bras of All Time is a gauge which bras sell best. I also pay careful attention to reviews of bras by women who are shaped like me.
If it is time for you to choose a new bra style and / or style, knowing which bras are ordered the most might help you decide which ones to try.
I found it interesting that all 12 bras come in full figure bra sizes! I believe Bare Necessities considers this range to be 36C to 54H. Even so, some of these Top bras come in smaller band sizes too. This is great because we can be full figured and need a smaller than 36 inch bra band size too!
#2. Vanity Fair's Satin Solutions bras appear, at this update, to be discontinued. These favorite bras came in sizes 36 to 44C to DD. Below is a picture of these bras and I am finding 6 of these in limited sizes, using this Vanity Fair Satin Solutions Bras New with Tags link at eBay stores starting at $15. (6/24/14)I will continue to try to update this page as best I can.

Bare Necessities' Top 12 Bras
A recent email from Bare Necessities led me to their Top 12 Bras of All Time. When I note the sizes, or size range and colors available below, I am referring to at Bare Necessities, at the time of this writing.
#1. Le Mystere's Dream Tisha full fit bras held the top position! These bras are also award winners at Her Room. They come in a lace version and in sizes 32 to 44C to H! These bras are now even more comfortable, with a lighter weight fabric and softer cups! They are available in five colors, a lace version and often seem to come out in fashion colors too!
#4. Playtex's 18 Hour Original Comfort Strap Wire Free bra comes in sizes 46G and 54DDD. They have this style in 5 colors and women who review it there find it a good value, high quality, supportive and some feel it is a wardrobe must have.
#5. Wacoal's Body Suede Ultra Seamless Underwire bras has numerous rave reviews. The best ones I have read about them are largely from women who wear bra sizes 40 to 44D to DDD.
#6. Felina's Harlow lace demi-cup bras is available in 4 colors in sizes 32 to 40B to DDD and are just $36! These elegant and seductive bras get great reviews and are not very expensive for an especially pretty bra with the comfort of a daily wear style!
#7. Spanx's Bra-llelujah Full Coverage Front-Close Underwire Bra comes in sizes 32 to 36A to DD, 38B to DD and 40 and 42C to DD, in four colors. I look at the picture and my shoulders just say AHHH! I wish it came in my size too! These straps, (however these are not adjustable straps), are one reason why back fat will not show in this bra and it gets high ratings for quality!
#8. Maidenform's One Fabulous Fit Demi-Underwire T-shirt Bra comes in sizes 32 to 36A to DD and 38B to DD in five colors. They tell us this bra is America's #1 Maidenform T-shirt bra and most reviewers there find it to be a wardrobe Must Have. Be aware; most reviewers of this bra there, currently, say they had an average or petite body type, rather than Curvy or full figured.
#9. DKNY's Signature Lace Seamless Underwire Bras come in six colors in sizes 32 to 36B to D. These bras have a 5 star average out of 20 reviews and women find them comfortable, sexy and stylish!
#10. Wacoal's best selling Awareness bras. Click on this bra's picture to find them in sizes 32D - G, 34 - 42C to H and 44C to DDD in 5 colors! This bra is well known, and loved, for its full figure fit!
#11. Elomi's Caitlyn Side Support Underwire Bras are great for us full busted women! These have been my nearly every day bras now for over a year! Women who review them find them to have a high quality and be a wardrobe must have. They are available in sizes 34 and 36E to K, 38 to 42DD to K, 44 and 46DD to HH in black, white, nude and fashion colors!
#12. Va Bien's Ultra-Lift Strapless Convertible Bras are said to be the ultimate bra for full busted and full figure women alike! These smooth, seamless bras are available in nude and black in sizes 32 to 46B to I size range.
Where to get these Bras on Sale
Some of these bras are brands often excluded from Bare Necessities discounts, such as Wacoal and Elomi. Most of these bras do qualify for their discounts! Quite often they, and other stores, such as Her Room, have brands like Bali and Vanity Fair, on sale or in B1G1 type deals too! Most of the stores featured in the right column will put discontinued colors in these styles on sale. The less expensive ones, such as Bali, Maidenform, Playtex and Vanity Fair are often on sale, or in some kind of discount at many of these stores. I try to post such sales and discount on this blog.Some of these bras for less at eBay stores
You can buy, not just bid, bras, new, with tags at eBay stores. To buy rather than bid, you want what eBay calls Buy it Now prices. Be sure to select New, under Condition in eBay's left column menu.
Here are a couple of the above stores I have links set up to. I myself have brought the Elomi Caitlyn bras and an Elomi Suzie plunge bra, new with tags, at eBay stores and am very happy with these purchases. The prices are excellent!
#2 Vanity Fair's Satin Solutions Bras may be available currently using this Vanity Fair #75005 bras, new with tags, at eBay Stores link.
like # 2 above is said to replace Vanity Fair's 75310 bras, which come in the same sizes as this current style, 75005. If you use this Lace Contour 75310 bras, New with Tags link you can still find them at eBay stores.
#5. I checked them out at eBay stores, at Buy it Now prices, and found you can get them starting at $27! Use this New, with Tags, Wacoal Body Suede Ultra Bras link to browse these much more affordable bras!
#11. New Elomi Caitlyn underwire bras At this writing, there are 375 of this style, in assorted sizes and colors, at Buy it Now prices, starting at $20!
