Start with 30F/FF Maryann, and possibly 30E & 32E as well. I think the F's will be your friend though.

Thank you. Does it matter where I shop for bras? I tend to go to places like next. But I am willing to splash out, now I've finished having babies and feeding them. So where would you recommend for a decent bra?

(And 30 F, quite different from my 34C, but I know they are not right as I overfill them, just didn't know where to start on finding what I should be in).

I'm 34 and 41. What does that make me?

start with 34f

Maryann1975 You will struggle to find a 30 band in any high street (e.g. Next, Top Shop, BHS, New Look) shop. Department stores like JL, Debenhams or HoF are your best bet. Bravissimo is pretty much the mecca for bra shopping for anything above a D as their range is so extensive.

Good on-line resources are Brastop, Figleaves, Me and My Curves, Bravissimo and of course eBay!

Thanks! Most recent one I bought was a 38C so that's quite a change. Will have a look in some shops later.

These are my favourite threads

I don't know how statistically manages to intervene with so many women and still have a life!

To those of you wondering where the hell your going to find these crazy sized bras, if you put the measurements and the word bra into an eBay search you will find there are several sellers who sell new and will accept tried on returns if they don't fit.
If you open the packaging carefully and tape it back up you can return to sender for free

I have picked up monster sizes for as little as £12

Hi so this is my first post and I've been caught up in the bra intervention, so today I've measured my self 30" &35" which I take to be a 30dd is this right??? Also I've been searching for some bras mainly looking at Freya but I'm just wanting something more basic to start my new bra collection!!! Is there anywhere I can get just a plain black and a white non padded bra without spending a fortune?? Thanks a lot

Yup, start with 30DD. Take a look at brastop, mycurvesandme, the outlet section of leia, debenhams (their gorgeous range runs small in the back) and surprisingly, amazon

Thanks I've ordered a couple of basics from debenhams to see if they fit then will treat myself to some fancy ones!!

Hello, could someone help me please? 32 and 42? That's with the second measurement with bra on? Is that correct. I'm so confused! Thank you so much!

Whip bra off and take the second measurement bending forward (as close to 90 degrees as you can get)

Oh please can you do mine?

31 and 41.

Try a 30H, 30GG, 32GG and 32G

Bloody Nora. No way?

Thanks, I'll try!

Ok, probably nearer 33 and then 43. Thanks

I'd say start with a 32GG and 32H allthequeenshorses

Oh my god. But I really don't think a 32 will fit! I'm mortified to say I've been wearing a 36ee, measured in store. I shall try tomorrow and let you know! That's amazing. I knew I wasn't comfortable or right, but not that bad!

Take your 36, and put it on back to front (there is a reason). Now, see how far away from your body you can pull the band...

Got you!!!!!!!! I can't thank you enough. Shopping first thing tomorrow me thinks.
