Bigger Bra Size Help

I need a strapless bra for Saturday, and off shopping tomorrow (with my guy pal), so I'm pretty sure there won't be time for trying on.

My current bra is a 38D, and is too tight around my back, but the cup size is fine.

Would I need to get a 40D, or is that too simplistic, would it be a 40C.

Are you sure of your bra size? What dress size are you? Measure according to this to get a better idea of size thebetterbracampaign.blogspot.co.uk/p/fitting-advice.html?m=1

And you do need to try it on as different styles have different shape

I'm a size 12 on the bottom, and a 14 on top.

I had a feeling I might need to try them on, but I just don't think I'll have time.

Thanks

You are not a 40 back if you're a size 14. I'm 18 stone, dress size 18-20 and a 38

Go to bravissimo!

Definitely not a 40 back. I am size 20/22 on the top with a 36 back bra (36GG). I imagine your back size is too big and your cup size is far too small

biscuitkumquat · 26/05/2016 22:42

Aaaaah, ok.

I'll make do with what I have now, and go to Bravissimo next week when I have more time.

Thank you very much

Have you tried measuring using that guide I linked to?

biscuitkumquat · 26/05/2016 23:33

I can't find my measuring tape demented, I think my DS has been using it!

You can get bra extenders. They attach to the hooks of your bra to make it bigger at the back. I got mine from M&S I think, but might have been debenhams.

Op needs bigger cups not a bigger back (probably)

KatharinaRosalie · 27/05/2016 09:56

You are not a 40 back if you're a size 12-14! And size 38-40 strapless most certainly won't do anything for you.

Please report back after your Bravissimo trip. Smile

I'm going to place my bets on 34F Wink

This will revolutionise your life OP!
