OK, so after trying on a lot of bras in 42-44band and up to F cup and them all being too small, I thought should actually measure myself. I'm a 42GGShock!!!!! How the hell did that happen I knew they'd grown a bit this pregnancy (i keep spilling over my bra cups) but didn't think I was that much bigger (was a 42DD).

So where on this earth, is it possible to get bras that big? And an even harder question, where to get nursing bras that big (well I'm thinking 1-2 cup sizes bigger to allow for milk - so 42H/HHShock)?

What are your measurements underbust & across the bust? There is a reason for asking, I'm not just being nosy!

Mmm. Not sure but I got some 40F from Hot Milk, may be worth a try? Some department stores stock the Hot Milk brand so I actually got fitted with one in store (Windsor).

Bravissimo are the only place I could find (I am similar size). Only a couple to choose from and the shape isn't flattering but I couldn't find any other alternatives online. If you do find any other options please do post the link. Good luck!

Try nursingbra-shop.co.uk they list up to an H cup on a 42 band. They use mumsnet approved bra-intervention sizing too, and have no quibble returns.

Thanks will have a look at those.

pumpkin - I measured 42under bust and 52 over the widest bit of my breasts. I went by what this site says. thebetterbracampaign.blogspot.co.uk/p/fitting-advice.html?m=1 - It came up on an old thread on here.

Sounds like you've measured correctly, I'd go onto one of the bra threads in style & beauty & see where the lovely Bra Ladies recommend you look.

Bravissimo go from d-L cups and do 30-40 bands. Not loads of choice but best on the high street. Get to them for a fitting if you can.

The Eveden group (which includes Freya, Fantasie and Elomi) have deeper nursing bras than many of the other high street brands for larger cup sizes, and their fit is often more generous.

The Elomi Beatrice is not exactly gorgeous but should do the trick.
