Soma Intimates is hosting a bra donation drive until February 14th. They accept bras from new to good condition. Here's more info: http://www.soma.com/store/page.jsp?id=56709275&icid=GWP-Bra-Donation .

I was glad to hear about this drive since I had a bunch of slightly used bras sitting around for awhile even though I no longer fit in them. Maybe you've read a helpful bra-fitting post from a fellow petite member---Jen/frmheadtotoe was a big help to me--and realize that you now have some ill-fitting bras that are little too worn to be resold, but too good to be thrown away. This would be a great time to take care of those!

There's a coupon offer along with the donation event, (click the red link in the text section to the right in the linked ad). It's not that great: 15% off $75 until Feb 28. Just fyi, though.

****************
It's also the final days of the semi-annual sale at Soma. I'm not sure how long the sale will last, but they recently cut down the clearance prices to $13 for a fair amount of styles. If you aren't familiar with Soma: most of the bras are very good quality and are comfortable. The exceptions I've found are anything overly lace-y and frilly, though that is most likely because those are "meant to be taken off" (haha). It is a bit tricky to purchase from there as a petite, even if you are at least a 32A, so I would highly recommend trying them on first before purchasing if you have not tried Soma bras.

Some super-quick reviews in case it helps anyone or if you want to give them a shot by purchasing online:
--I picked up another Larissa bra. I already have this in another color, and I like that it is wirefree. The full coverage keeps it invisible under tops and makes bust look bigger (yes!). It did take at least week to break it in though, before the band felt comfortable enough.
--I have the Touch of Satin Robyn and it's very comfy, but the straps are oddly long. I have one in too big a band size and the straps don't slip, but I have one that is my correct size and the straps keep slipping. Weird. I think it's a combo of the silky smooth straps and my petite shoulders.
--I really liked the Mimi bra, but I feel this is made for breasts that are set closer together. I tried it and it gaped a little in the middle, making the bra visible underneath clothes since it poked out it bit, yet I felt like I was overflowing a bit on the sides.
--Camisole Bridget bra--very comfortable. A tad on the flattening side as it doesn't do much lifting. I would have gotten this myself but I wanted the lace to be a little higher for personal tastes.
--Camisole Brianna bra--Lace was actually higher, but it didn't stretch out all the way.
