ok so dd1 measured and the smaller measurement was 25" can you even get bras that small?! the larger measurement was 30" that puts her at a 25DD?!

not measured dd2 yet, but she's skinnier (size 6) and a bit smaller of boob

I've looked at figleaves (thanks HazleNutt) and the smallest they've got is 28B. I think we're going to buy every bra in a 28inch band and see what fits...

yes 26 bands are not easy to find. Ewa Michalak or Made in Preston would be an option, but probably way too pricey for a growing teenager, who needs new bras regularly.
You can get a Rixie clip that helps to make bra backs smaller.

I went into Bravissimo today, it was all very rushed. I was in a hurry but I didn't tell them that until after they had said something fitted ok. They put me in a 32F initially - wasn't too bad but I'm not used to the tightness of the band so they said a 34E was ok. I'm not sure though, now I've got it home and had more time to look at it, it doesn't feel right and I don't think it is balcony - the moulded cups stand out at the top and look very silly. I think I'll have to return it.

I also tried on a triumph magic wire in John Lewis - they didn't have a 34E but from trying the 34DD I think a 34E might be ok. It is expensive, but I urgently need something boosting/padding to fill out a dress I have to wear next weekend!

ps. I know very boring, but just wanted to moan!
