Hello,

Thanks so much for taking the time to respond. I don't wish the pain on anyone,
but I feel better knowing I'm not the only one. I have even tried buying a
bigger size bra but ultimately it is the constricting around the rib cage that
bothers me. Not to mention the pressure from the bra against my sternum. And as
far as anything like spandex or shapewear, that is a big NO for me too. I even
have to unbutton my pants as I sit because the pressure of against my body when
I sit just makes the ribs feel uncomfortable. Anywho, thanks so much for your
time!
Lacy

same problem! I still wear my bras, but I loosen them to the last clippy thing
or I wear sports bras (minimal control/yoga style) and strapless bras because
they seem to be less constricting. I just can't go without a bra, so I'm in the
process of figuring out what kind of bras I can wear. Also, shapewear is just
out of the question for me, so I'm resorting to buying a size up and having the
dresses tailored. Hope this helps!
