To ask for your help to find a bra

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.

Try Marisota they offer bigger band/back sizes.

This sounds much more right, Bra or Busy method is perfect.

I think a lot of people don’t realise the whole cup volume changes when the back size goes up and down, it’s not just the same cup on a bigger band. Picture attached is a good in illustration. Drives me nuts thinking how many women out there must be going round in bras that are too big in the back and too small in the cup.

Me too Paper

There's a meme thing comparing boob sizes to fruits. But it doesn't work as a 36D is much bigger than a 28D etc

Can I hijack this please!

I’m currently wearing a 44 FF - which I bought without trying on and just took a chance on. However I’ve lost a stone in weight recently and I find it’s too loose at the back, not supportive at the front and really not doing anything for me.
I’ve just measured myself using the boob or bust method, and rib cage is 45 inches and bending over measuring fullest part is 56. So that makes me a 44GG?? Could that be right?
I’m a size 22 dress size at moment.

Thanks for any advice!

Bit pricey, but worth it because they're so much more comfortable - Rigby and Peller
