to wish anything above D cups were not treat like lepers ...

[YerMaw1989]

by catalogues...

No I do not want a triumph doreen my mother doesn't even wear those, I would like my boobs to look like boobs not weird triangles , not be in white or beige (I don't mind beige if its plunge) Why do manufacturers thing women with bigger chests do not want cleavage in any way shape of form !!! I'm not asking for a lot

sigh

When I was a teenager I was an E-cup. It was a pain in the arse as then most shops didn't stock above a DD. Then shops started creeping up, but so did my boobs . Now most shops stock up to an H, but I am a J (or a KK when pregnant).

DH has been most disappointed as I've crept up at the same rate as Ann Summers - always at least a cup size bigger than they do.

At least we have Bravissimo now. Although my search for a maternity swimsuit for bigger boobs has so far yielded nothing.

Re: small ribcages. IME you just need to try lots of different manufacturers. My mum is v petite and swears by Triumph, but I am a much larger build and for ne Freya is the way to go. Can't stand Panache either, but Bravissimo's own range have been a revelation - my boobs have never looked so perky! I do like a nice tight back though.

I'm a J cup. If it wasn't for bravissimo my tits would be swinging by my knees!!

YANBU op

One day I will have a reduction. To maybe an E cup.
[looks down at chest that started as 30ff pre pregnancy and is now god knows what - sigh]

I'm marking my place till I find my tape measure. I'm coming back later so you lovely ladies can tell me what size I should be wearing, as I need to buy a new bra tomorrow (had this one for a year and it's falling apart).

We will be here waiting Couthy

Boux Avenue do DD+ as well as small back sizes I'm a borderline 30E/32DD

I love their balconette bra's and wearing this

one today with the high wasted matching pant's I think 50's glammer DH thinks granny pants lol

get down to asda. just bought myself a racy little e for £6.

I get my absolutely enormous bras from here

Been really impressed with them so far.

Good link.

Debenhams have a DD+ range called Gorgeous - Have bought most of my 36/38FF bras from there over the past few years as I can't afford Bravissimo all the time. I had a lovely silk balconette from there in the sale last year - I just have to wait for 4mo DD to finish BFing before I can wear it again!!

I wear the Panache Tango 2 plunge. I'm 32H and have 12 of these bras in 9 different colours!

Can't go wrong with Panache Tango eco (Hello to my "identical boob twin")
... have you thought about buying on Ebay, they're waaaay cheaper!

Freya are fab!

Thanks for the bra stop link, I've just bought myself a bra from there.

I normally really struggle coz I'm a massive size 46 G, what REALLY annoys me is places like bravissimo do large cup sizes, but not large back sizes :(

I think we should all buy this and encourage the model to smile

Loopy are you sure you are a 46? I was a 42 back size but bravisimmo "measured" me as a 38.

Oh dear, my eyes, why did I click on that link.
The thing I now realise from a resent, pregnancy/breastfeeding related, visit to Bravissimo is you pay for there service and knowledge. I originally shopped with them when they where a new company. When I was told I was a 34f, 20 years ago the only bra you could get that wasn't white was the Warners french collection in black. I had 3 I think. They where one of 3 places I could buy my size in a very limited, but improving, selection. Go forwards 15 years and I thought I new it, bought cheap bras, fitted myself. I got very confused as to my size as during pregnancy I shot up to a 34HH. I only found this out after a trip to Bravissimo. Over 2 DC's I go back every body change and they are brilliant. The last trip I the assistant spent 30 min with me until we found one that really suited me, and £25. She was lovely with my 3 wk old and leaky boobs.
My very resent source of bargain bras is Amazon. They stock all the major brands, some with utterly random prices. I bought some Panache bras for less than half price, they have now nearly gone back up to full price.

I want whatever bra (and top) Nigella was wearing in the first part of tonight's programme. Her boobs look goood.

Boux Avenue! I'm a 34G and I luffs their bras and service and the fact that they have drawers containing the knickers and different size bras - makes it feel posher

mine have shrunk back again to pre-ds size:34H
while i was breastfeeding ds1 i was a 34L (bravissimo did one nursing bra that size). with ds2 i was even bigger, but squeezed them into 34L-s again, as that was the largest there seemed to be. did feel like a dairy cow occasionally
do i win?

TBH I don't think I'd be smiling very much if I had to wear that bra

That thing they are calling a bra is a crime against bosoms!

Do not get me started on M and S they ruined my boobs! Measured as a 36E on more than one occasion, a life of bra's not fitting and boobs not supported, wasn't till I went to a posh underwear shop for my wedding and the owner laughed when I said I was a 36E she said no you are not and meaasured me I was a 32G! Been supported ever since, I do wonder what might have been if they'd been properley hoisted all these years, alas I'll probably end up tucking them in my knickers!

To add insult to injury I went in when I was pregnant and asked for bras in my size, I was told that they wouldn't show me them or sell me them as they were underwired and I was pregnant wtf! I said I know there is some outdated advice out there about UW and pregnancy regardless I will make my OWN decision what I wear in my pregnancy, she still wouldn't show me so I walked out

Buy my bras from ebay now (new), seem to pick up all the major brands have had a few panache tango whixh I would also recommend, pay less than half the price of the shops

Life would be easier if I was a D cup or under - high street stores do not seem to stock bigger sizes even in their larger cup ranges - bizarre!

I was measure in Debenhmas Oxford Street (so a big store) as a 32GG after saying my 34G was not the right size as much too loose at the back, they had 1 32GG in a plain white t-shirt bra but nothing fancy so she brought me a load of 34FFs out - WTF? I ended up looking like I had 4 boobs so I gave up.

I may have to follow some of your links although its such a pain having to order loads then send back the ones that don't fit as I work long hours most of the week so miss the post office.

Bunbaker - mine are not real although I was hoping to go up to a D/DD from a C cup not up to a GG as they are not very big implants. Also I was previously measured at a 36C by M&S then as a 36E after the op by them. According to all other lingerie shops I am actually a 32GG or 34G as was wearing the wrong back size. Sorrel is right - it is really down to poor measuring. My SIL has no boobs at all and is a 30E or something like that - she is proper flat chested but that size fits her brilliantly.
