Search for the impossible? 34 AA bra

43 replies

Skinheadmermaid · 17/11/2013 22:13

Yes that's right. I am a 34 AA and i cannot find this bra size ANYWHERE!
Currently buy bras in primark as they have 32 AA bras but they haven't had any the last couple times i've been in there
:(
I buy bras purely for decorative purposes so am looking for bright colours/patterns.
Is there nowhere that caters for the -ahem- athletic chested female?
It seems every effort is being made to cater for the big busted now but us ladies with bee stings are being ignored!

What are your actual measurements? Chances are you're not an AA cup at all!

My bet is that you're a 30C or 28D

DH is a 34C!

I am. I don't have breasts i have pecs. (Thanks push ups!)
It doesn't bother me. I wouldn't even bother with a bra but i have pierced nipples and don't want the world and his wife gawking at them through my clothes. Wink
Always been small chested, even when i was 18 stone my cup size was no bigger then a B.

I would post a picture but i don't think its appropriate.
I would fail the crayon test, let alone a pencil!

I used to be able to buy 34AA from M and S very easily. Then I read the wonderful bra threads on here and now wear 32B bras. Believe me, I look like a boy without a bra, but a padded 32B fits and gives me enough shape to boost my confidence.

Being am AA cup would imply that your around bust measurement is no bigger than your underbust measurement, though. Is your underbust measurement actually 34"?

I was a 34 aa of course it exists.
Used to go to m&s too.

I bet you're not a 34AA at all. Even my skinny, athletic, tiny chested teen is a 28B.

Give us your measurements - actual measurements around your under bust and over the widest part of your bust (which may or may not be the nipple).

Yup my offical band size is 34, but as i said i can fit into 32 as theres no fat there.
I don't want to push up my pecs boobs, just cover them. I've tried A, B, C, D cups and they all gape. Theres nothing to fill the cups, even with scooping, just some loose skin from former weight loss.
You must all think i have a very strange figure.
My butt in comparison is huge.

Read this fitting advice then come back when you've finished wheezing from shock (which is what I did when I found out my size Smile)

What do you mean your official band size? Ifnyoy measure 34" underbust then that isnytour band size.

A AA cup means that your overbust and under bust measurements are identical.

I measure as 34 AA, i measured before i made this thread just to double check. Smile
I just don't carry any fat in that area of my body.
So according to style & beauty no one makes 34aa bras because they don't exist.. Hmm

Have you tried amazon? I'm 32 G and also struggle but have found a few bits on amazon in the past. Good luck

So your measurements are 34" under your bust and 34" at the widest point? If you just want coverage rather than support maybe try just a cropped top eg. something like this

Just to double check,

Tight tape measure under bust = 34"
Loosen tape measure over bust leaning forwards 90degs = 34"?

Is there not even 1 inch difference between under your bust and the fullest part of your bust. An AA cup means the 2 figures are the same.

I used to wear crop tops Grin
Maybe i should just get a leopard print crop top and be done with it!

Just to explain if i lean over i have loose skin on one breast that hangs down, but this is just empty skin, there is no breast tissue. if i push it up with a push up bra its all crepy and horrid and looks like i have one 80 year old boob. The other boob for some reason doesn't have loose skin and therefore doesn't hang.
When i stand upright i am flat chested.

currently feels like a freak

I also recommend M & S; look at the teenage range there as well as the adult (I am literally flat chested!)
