To ask for your help to find a bra

[bradilemma]

It's impossible. I'm currently needing a 44G bra. I used to be 36G but post children I find bras so uncomfortable that even a 42 back seems tight (I'm also a bit of a fatty at the moment but working on that) I cannot find a 44G underwired bra anywhere. Bravissimo only go up to a 40 back, m&s do 44 backs but only non wired. I've tried to wear a 42G but the 1 bra I found only went up to an F cup in 42 back! Help me please my 1 remaining bra that does fit is ready for the bin.

I don't have a bloody tape measure! Just had a look round the house because I want to measure myself right now and we've only got the solid metal tape measures!

Have a look on www.simplybe.co.uk they do a range of bras up to a 58 back and an L cup. They don't actually have a 44GG but they have 42GG/46GG. Best of all you can order a selection of sizes & styles and try then on at home.

If you don’t have a tape measure, use a piece of string and then measure that on the solid measure!

Or if you haven't got string, do you have ribbon for wrapping presents?

You lot are bloody amazing! Genuinely did the boob or bust and this is what it came out at! And I found a fabric tape measure in my sewing box in the end.

I'm in need of a re measurement and am having the same problem! Only can find a metal one. Can't find any string or anything long enough

36J is insane! I can't see that I'd fit into a 36 back but I guess the cup size makes it achievable. Off to Google for 36J bras thank you

Oh hurrah! You will need to try a few different styles. See which one suits you. And don't be afraid to try up a cup or whatever. No more 44s!

Don't forget when you try on or wear a bra to scoop the whole breast into the cup

Try getting bras from Freeman's. The catalogue company but you can buy direct online. They have great range of sizes.

Definitely get a few different styles, as some come up big/small and others will just be more comfortable for your shape. If I were you I would order several online (somewhere that has free returns) so you can try on at home and with different tops.

Yay! Bingo

Bravissimo have a sale online at the moment. Might be worth a look!

A quick google search shows Simply be do bras up to a 48

Evans might? Tending to agree with other posters though. I buy bravissimo 36HH - I buy size 18/20 tops

Way hey! A 36. No more frantic searching for a 44 anymore OP. Things will be so much easier now.
After I measured myself, I went to figleaves site and ordered a bulk of bras in my "new" size, with a cup size up and down along side it. Ie 30h was what I measured, but I also ordered 30gg, 30hh, and 32g, 32(cant remember the sister size of this one!) etc.
As it happens, 30gg, Freya, in a full cup style fits me like a glove.
I paid for my order via PayPal, chose express delivery, selected "pay after delivery". It came next day, quick try on, and I was able to repack and send back the bras before the payment was taken out of my account. Handy because I couldn't really afford to pay 200 ish quid but neither was it possible to visit a lingerie shop anytime soon either. So...
Happy underwear shopping!

I don’t know why I love these threads to much but I really do

Good call on the 36J prediction Fairylea.

Wowser thanks for your link I've just ordered 10 bras to try!

Try Marisota they offer bigger band/back sizes.

Wow in a missed a lot of updates. I've just ordered a bulk load of bras to try from brastop but I'll also try figleaves that's a good call and bravissimo. Thank you all

Oh I hope you get such a well fitting bra! Let us know how you get on.

Bravissimo s customer service are amazing. So if you need help fitting when your bras arrive call them. I have never been to a bravissimo but bought all my bras thru them for 15 years. I even called them about my daughter who is a tiny cupsize after a horrendous m and s experience. They advised me where to go with her.

The shops are better than online. I've never had such wonderful staff helping me with anything than i did at bravissimo
