Best supportive bra for bigger - but shrinking - woman

6 replies

UntilYourNextHairBrainedScheme · 03/11/2020 18:32

odd title sorry!

I'm in the middle of losing weight. Ive lost 3 stone and need to lose the same again and its going well.

However with 3 stone gone just wearing my bras on the tightest hook and eyes and shortening the shoulder straps noblonger cuts it - there's no support at all from too big bras!

I think from measuring myself that I'm now a 36 G, down from a 40 H

So still big, and mid 40s - need some support!

Any brand recommendation? Ideally not bank breaking as I intend to shrink out of them Grin

I live abroad and although shops are open, ordinary clothes shops only stock up to a C cup for some reason. No specialist bra shops anywhere convenient, so will order online.

ASDA - their bras are brilliant, and they definitely do the size you're after. And inexpensive, so it won't matter that you won't be wearing each for long as your size continues to reduce

wow! I would never have thought of Asda, but I just looked and asda deliver clothes to Germany! I've just ordered four bras for less than one of the cheapest bras I've ever bought here, including shipping!

Many thanks!

I wanted to say thanks again - these have already arrived. Incredibly quick for an international delivery and almost unbelievable value for money given I'm used to thinking 30€ is really cheap for a bra! I have 4 for less than that including postage, so will continue to replace them as I lose weight rather than make do with next to useless too big bras!

So glad you like them!!

Molke are also great - I find their bras work as sports bras too, and the great thing is because the cup sizes are not exact, they’ll still fit for some time as you lose weight.

Craftycorvid I just had a look. I like that the site calculates your size for you, but every single pattern/style (including the ones I probably wouldn't order) are sold out in my size!

I like the idea of their very high waisted multi-size bikinis for next year...
