I always give new bras the "bounce test" -- I jump up and down (just little jumps!) in the dressing room and see how much bounce there is. Too much bounce, no buy. I refuse to wear padding or underwires.

What I realized is -- if the bra is too small and I ooze out of sides or top, I'm gonna bounce. I finally broke down and bought the bigger size. Anyone else who's had a little bit of middle-aged expansion, just forget about the size you used to wear and buy something that fits.
