Need Good Nursing Bra
I am looking for a nursing bra in which it still resembles a regular bra i.e the cups and straps are not so thick and big that your not able to wear a tank top. I don't want lace because it can be seen through t-shirts, and I prefer underwire although at this point I just want something you can not see through a white t-shirt. I may be dreaming, but if anyone knows of a nursing bra meeting this criteria please let me know I have become desperate.

So What Happened?™
Thanks everyone for such great input... boy I needed it. I ended trying many different places listed and still had no success. Ironically while on a website I found a link to a brand called Bella Materna- I have not been able to see the bras in person, but Loratta's Intimates ( suggested by one Mommy) is supposed to get a shipment in of their bras. They are pricey but they seem to be what I am looking for. Hey if this doesn't work I am tempted to go in to business and start making my on nursing bras- LOL!!!!!

I found two bras I like at Motherhood Maternity. Their large store in Dallas off of 635 (near the Galleria) had a better selection than any of the mall stores I looked in.
One is a sports type bra that I like to sleep in.
The other could almost certainly pass for a "normal" bra and is easy to wear with T-Shirts and has an underwire. The snaps are on the cups. I think they had it in nude and black. It was a little pricier than their others, if I remember correctly, it was around $45.
Hope this helps!

The best bras that I have found are Colesce by Jeunique. Not only can they be used while you are nursing, they are great for after nursing as well. Contact Jackie Tracy at ###-###-#### for a custom fitting. I'll never purchase any other brand of bra. They are great!!!

Loretta's Intimates (near Collin Creek mall in Plano) has the best bra's!! I first bought nursing bras there 5 years ago & now won't buy any other bra except from them!
There is always a lady there to measure & check your size.

I found some nicer looking ones at Mimi Maternity. I think there's one in the Lewisville mall. You might have luck with online retailers, or ordering directly through a lactation consultant. I believe Medela has one with normal straps.

Target is has a GREAT selection. I'd recommend the nursing tanks as well. Their great because their discreet.
Walmart isn't bad either. These are two less expensive options.

I don't know if you are still nursing but i had the same difficulty. The best bra that i found that had perfect support (alot of the bra's i tried had little support) without an underwire (wearing an underwire while nursing is said to cause breast cancer) was at Babystyle. There is one located in northpark mall. The bra is designed by Elle McPherson. Very comfortable, and pretty for a nursing bra.

Figleaves.com is a great place for all kinds of bras including nursing. I would check there.
