26" bras?

I've just found a few threads form a few years back saying that it's pretty much impossible to buy 26" backs off the shelf. Is that still the case?

I've just lost a load of weight, and I need new bras. My measurements put me around around 26DD as a starting point (though I'm 27" back, so going up to 28D wouldn't be disastrous, especially if I can find brands that come up small in the back).

Hi SorrelForbes Fingers crossed our new wires fit perfectly :) I still find it quite amazing how a bra can look so different from woman to woman. My friend and I are the same bra size but our breasts are completely different in shape and composition so our bras look completely different on us. I think the best we can do is develop a variety of shapes and styles so that there's something for everyone. It will take us a while to grow but we should have a lovely collection by Christmas :)

I'm so pleased you like the quality and construction. Bosom Galore lingerie has been my first experience of luxury (something that seems to be rare in full bust sizes); a combination of soft fabrics and high quality manufacture and I can really feel the difference :)

Ifyourehappy, yes an H would be right if you are an FF. It is confusing, easy in Ewas as the sizing is the same as your Uk size. And Comexim do the odd double letter (eg HH) which makes it harder. But I am used to having to compute various Euro brands with some or no double letters so now I am in the habit of counting from the D!
