How long does it take for your bra bands to stretch out?
Having just replaced 2 of my bras, I can say that it took about a year for my 30D - B.tempt'd By Wacoal » B.wow'd Push Up Bra (958187) to stretch to unreasonable lengths. When I first got the bra, the band stretched out to 32", which is pretty normal for a b.tempt'd 30 band. After 1 year of frequent wear, the band stretched out to 34" and thus became unbearably loose for me. My 30C - Betsey Johnson Intimates » Stocking Stripe Lightly Lined also lasted the same amount of time despite the fact that I have the exact same bra in 2 other colors and those two are still fine.
Is one year of frequent wear about the normal length of time it takes for bra bands to stretch out to the point of unwearability?

i read somewhere that around 9-12 months is the amount of time they need to be replaced if worn regularly... so i guess it's reasonable :)
I've had my first floris a year now and I'm still wearing it on the tightest hook. But I think panache are firmer than most
