Personally, I've given up on the bras front and just buy girls' training bras. More comfortable and cheaper anyway, and I'm a sucker for the fun colors, lol. VS panties are usually pretty true to size, and decently priced when you catch a sale ($3/pair). I used to love Target's selection of panties, but their vanity sizing is so out of control even an XS is too big on me (BMI 20 with narrow hips). Yet options abound for size 48LLL bras that could hold full-size watermelons and panties that appear to be make from bedsheets. It's definitely frustrating.
