I am in BRA HELL and you lot must help me!

I am a size D/DD, and my bra size hasn't changed in about a year. I'm only 21 and am fairly strong and healthy, and because therefore my boobs aren't down at my knees, I find it really hard to find bras. Most of them in my size are made with the top line much lower than my breasts naturally are, so it presses down and I get FOUR boobs, which is too much.
Where do you curvy ladies get your bras? I bought a white one from New Look which is lovely, but nothing else there fits me, even those in the same style. I prefer tshirt or slightly padded bras, and I absolutely have to get some more soon, my current ones are looking tatty.

I would, however, recommend the Kelly Brook range at New Look. I got a black almost Burlesque style one that isn't suitable for everyday wear (it has black velvet strips up which stand out under a tshirt) but is great for corsets and things.

I bought a Freya bra in July and I swear it's the best ever. I've just bought 2 more, same exact model, because I don't think I can go back to normal stuff again. I'm a DD too and it's just too hard to find nice, comfy bras that fit ok. This one also gives a gorgeous cleavage, which is always a plus!
You can find it in Bravissimo, try it!

Oooh, thank you, I might do that! There's a bravissimo in Leeds I think, I might go there and treat myself when I get paid.

I do, I don't find the comfortable.

This is my bra:



It's pretty plain but a lot prettier than the super ugly ones you usually have to get when you have big boobs. And, honestly, the cleavage is just amazing

It looks like a balcony bra though - don't you find you have a shelf you could rest pints on?

i can't find a bra that's comfortable either. i don't even have big boobs but my back is always killing me.

yes. i have one bigger than the other (noticeably so, i'm not just being a drama queen) so the cups always droopy on one side. gross.

bras are my worst nightmare...
i have a really small frame but for my size i have big boobs,
i'm a 32D wich is IMPOSSIBLE to find...
so i have to buy vintage ones,those are the only one's
that fit and are comfy.

thank god for vintage lingerie shops.

The Freya bras I looked up on figleaves.net looked to go down to a 32D. Personally I always prefer to try on bras, the only ones that always fit no matter which shape I buy are Wonderbras.

ya i have to try them on...when i havn't
i always end up returning them,i just really REALLY
loath shopping for bras.

I have a slightly different problem...

I'm a 36-38 and a C (large frame, smallish boobs) but I find it really difficult to find Bras with short enough straps - It must be because women with my back circumferance normally have chubbier shoulders or something. Even when I have them as short as they will go.

Anyone know the solution?

at ladygrace.com they sell a strap you can use to connect the 2 straps together across your back so if they are wearable but keep slipping off your shoulders i guess that might help

i hate bras and bra shopping
its always one thing or the other...

fredericks of hollywood have a wider selection of bra sizes (32A-42F) and styles.
more than say....victoria's secret.

BigGirlBras.com

They have the best size selection I've found, and they have really pretty bras.

I actually found my perfect bra there. Oh, and on some bras is you buy a less popular color (wine in my case) they give you a discount ($10!).

I wear an H cup, so if I can find a pretty, comfortable bra, you ladies in the D range can.

If you don't have a soft mesuring tape, buy one. They cost like $3 and so many bra line have different measurments.

is that US size? (i just want to check)

im that same size and i have to search for a hour to find one at a department store. calvin klein makes them but they tend to hurt me.

dunno what size they start at, but bravissimo do good quality, supportive, pretty bras for big sizes.
expensive though.

i find it hard too. i wear a 32a but i think properly i might be a 30a. both sizes aren't asy to find nice bras in
