For women with bigger boobs that arent full figured? I swear i have tried so many bras, and i cant find comfort and support together. Everyone says Victorias Secret or Lane Bryant, those dont work for me. So any other bra suggestions? Please, i cant go the whole summer with the two i have.
Thank you, im not sure what Dillards is, i dont think we have them here. I will look online for the other one. I am about a 12 and 36DDD, cursed wierd body.
Quoting L1558:
I'm a size 12 and a 34/36DD.
Try Dillards and check out the Modern Movement bras. I LOVE them and VS is kind of crappy quality.
belk or jcpenny have some good bras and they do mesurements to help with getting the right size the only thing is, is with your size it might have to be ordered so be prepared to have to wait a few days. i dont mean that in a bad way either as i had to have some ordered when i was preggos and after i had my son
And I have heard that the liz taylor store has them? Is it liz taylor.... something like that.
there are good bras out there, you just have to look around. Being a 42H it's really difficult to find a bra. I have to buy mine from Catherine's or Cacique. It's the only places I've found with larger sizes. There is a place close to me called la de da lingerie that does bra fittings but I think being a boutique it would be sky high. It's bad enough paying what I pay for bras now
Do you have any idea what size bra you REALLY wear? I'm 5'9, 165 when not pregnant, a 10/12 and wear a 32G bra. Finding bras in my size is tricky - if you don't know where to shop. The ONLY place I recommend to women who need to be sized is Nordstrom's. They've always sized me right and actually SELL small band bras with large cups - and they're not even ugly. Yes, they're expensive, but trust me, once you put on the right sized bra, the $50+ is worth it.
If you have a soft tape measure and can do 2 quick measurements, I can tell you what size you wear. You measure around your rib cage, pulled as tight as you can get it, and add 3. That's your band size. Then you measure around the fullest part of your bust and subtract your numbers. Your cup size will probably surprise you, but it's better for your boobies to be in the right size - they'll look better and you'll feel better.

Nordstroms, they are like 60-90 bucks but well worth it and all the girls that work in the department are really good that their jobs. I'm a 36 J thats the only place I can go bra shopping and not have a break down I swear to god.
That is the size i got from measuring myself with the method you described, and have bought a couple in that size, and they fit. But they are cheap because i cant spend 100 on a bra, and that seems to be all i find online in my size range, maybe 70 on sale. I know you get what you pay for, but i need a middle ground. I have to shop online, going into a store, being sized and looking around isnt really an option for me. Thank you for the advice though, im taking all i can get!
