Do you wear a 30DD bra? (or any 30 back) If so, where do you buy them, help needed.

Most shops do not seem to sell 30 back sizes. The only ones I know are Bravisimo (pricey) and M&S (which have a very limited range) and Debenhams (again very limited stock) Where do you buy 30 size bras? Any recommendations welcome, thanks.

Figleaves.com, order a load, try on at home, send back the ones you don't like the fit of.

Brastop, Ewa Michalak both stock 30 bands.

Cleo, Fauve, Freya, Panache, Curvy Kate and Fantasie all make 30 bands too.

It's not that hard to get 30dd bras IME. Have you tried doing a search on Amazon, Figleaves outlet site, ASOS, Brastop, and Debenhams? I know M&S are terrible for measuring but some of their bras are quite good quality and they stock a lot of 30 back bras these days.

I picked up a few in the Christmas sale at M & S, including a couple of the Rosie ones, not really that hard to find 30s in my experience.

I'm a 30dd and I only ever buy Lejaby, which through endless, very tedious trial and error I've found to be the only ones that suit my shape. Figleaves are good for ordering a load and then sending back, and once I find a style that I love, I just buy as many as I can, quite often on ebay (if they're brand new with tags obviously!) They are really expensive full price, but on sale you can find them for £18 ish. I have never, except in Rigby and Peller, found an actual shop with much choice in that size. Online is the way to go.

I am 28e but i wear 30dd when I am on my period. It is a lot easier to find 30dd! John lewis do some very pretty ones in that size.

Despite the limited range, I have loads of amazing bras. Too many probably. Im glad of the limited range ;)

Debenhams are pretty good. Also, Elle Macpherson are great but I was advised that her 32 backs are more like 30 so don't order over the Internet first time. I find independent shops are great as different brands measure differently and they often have lesser known brands.

curvy kate come up small too. And debenhams ones cant be bought without trying on as their sizing is very erratic.

I'm a 30GG and buy mostly Freya from Debenhams (if you are not worried about colour there were some great in store sale bargains - around £8!). Other than that I like the Panache Tango II which I usually get from Bravissimo. Some brands come up small so I'd need a 32G (I find M&S small).

Freya at John Lewis, Bravissimo or Fenwicks.

Probably a lone voice in the wilderness, but I don't like Freya on me (the fit is awful and the fabrics feel cheap and scratchy) but have had great success with the Debenhams 'Gorgeous' range which is def available in a 30DD. Very well made, good quality fabrics, and pleasingly small prices. They are size-true, too, so once you've find a size that works for you in a given style, it's easy to order other colours online knowing the items will actually fit. Debenhams online is also nice and easy to use - size thing actually works, and stuff arrives promptly.

Bravissimo every time. I know you said they are too expensive but their sale section has quite a lot of choice for £20 and under in your size.

M&s autograph collection, silk bras and matching underwear and I always order online not in store. What Katie did also have 30DD bras but I haven't got around to trying those yet.
