Oh...I've had that problem. I loved a shirt I got till my friend walked in with an almost identical shirt that WAS a maternity top! And since my tummy isn't it's flattest (I'm working on it!) I did get asked if was pregnant. Fortunatley I liked the lady who asked or I'd have been upset. I feel all your shopping pains! If I go for a reduction someday, I think I will wait till after I have children and go through life some more. But since my back is sore and tired durring most days I do believe I will someday. Oh and as far as 'granny bras' go...Fredericks solved that problem for me very well! Support and style!

That someday may be now - check w/your health insurance. Mine was covered under my mother's family policy, as I already had excruciating bouts of back pain and divots in my shoulders from ill-fitting bras. A simple referral letter from our GP and a frank consultation with the cosmetic surgeon were all it took to get the procedure covered.

I do find that Fredericks has some larger sizes available to avoid the "old lady syndrome" - but even those were hard to come by as a 34 bust. Not so much now that I'm rounder elsewhere, but I do hope to avoid that once I've reached my goal!

I'm heading to the Fredericks webpage to see if I can find something that isn't too high in price and will look cute. Thanks for the tip.
