:lol: That they do. Any department store has someone capable of helping you. The only problem that I find is the ones that fit properly for larger sizes are very expensive. I love to buy at Victoria's Secret, but at 50-60 dollars a bra, I can't afford to do it very often. They fit amazing, though, and they're like the Cadillac of bras.Quote:

Most of my bras are size 70C, and it is not the right size. 70D is better, but they are nearly impossible to find, and what I would really need would be a 65D or 65DD. I've NEVER found that size anywhere... (30D or 30DD) I also often find that the straps are too long even when on the shortest setting. That much I could fix myself, however, if I wasn't so damn lazy...
That's exactly it! I need big cups too (75E). But what's worse, after having had 2 children, and nursing them both, my breasts are inevitably drooping now, and the straps are cutting in* the shoulder really painfully :(Quote:

Ooooh, so that has a name. Well, that's not so bad. I thought that a "muffin top" was when people wear pants that are too tight for them:

...which just looks uncomfortable. Her poor organs would be all squished up.
I can only imagine what will happen when she sits down. Ugh.Quote:

There is only 1 store in town that sells my size and their best selection is in the "expensive" bra section.
As far as comfort goes, Wacoal is the best I've ever tried. There could be better, but I remember just being amazed the first time I tried one of those. Victoria's Secret doesn't hold a candle. Or at least it didn't. I can't even go to VS anymore. When I was younger, they had things I could wear, but I think that store cators to teens and young adults --- especially that PINK stuff they have. I'd feel really stupid walking around in a pair of sweatpants that said PINK on the butt of them.
T-SHIRT bras are a wardrobe staple in my opinion, but again, the size range on those is limited. The affordable T-Shirt Bra that comes in my size runs small and there is no buy a size up for me in that particular style. So, I spent $70 on the only other T-Shirt Bra they had - Le Mystery or something. It's awesome for comfort and is actually cute, rather than matronly which seems to be the most appropriate adjective for the majority of bras in my size and price range. If I want something functional and cute I will have to pay and pay and pay for it. More clothing size discrimination. :(
Shalot - T-shirt bra??? I'm not familiar with what that even looks like, and knowing me it is something I own :lol: Maybe not if they're that expensive, but it wouldn't surprise me. I'll have to check out that brand. I'm pretty picky about buying bras, and I certainly hate being uncomfortable all day. I just want them to be pretty even if no one else seeing them.
I'm thinking 70D is UK sizing. 70 being centimeters around the rib cage?
Has anyone tried the backless bra? It's something like this

I've heard that it is fine for bustier girls, but I've never quite gotten up the nerve to try it on.
Yes, 70 is centimetres. I guess it's 32 in inches? They say you should not buy a bra if you can wear it on the tightest setting, which means that all my 70C or 70D bras are too large for me. But it is impossible to find a 65D anywhere!
T-shirt bra is one with smooth cups, no lace or seams so that it gives you a smooth silhoutte under a tight top.
I haven't seen that kind of backless bra. It looks like the straps might fall of your shoulders any moment causing a major underwear disaster... If you'll try one, tell me how it works :D
70D is not UK size! Its European. :D I'd feel sorry for anyone if it was! :eek:
I actually own a strapless, backless bra. :D
Thats what we call it here. and love handles. :DQuote:

I just can't believe it would give anywhere near enough support for my breasts, I mean where would it get that support?
yep. i've one of those. Not the best thing in the world to be honest!
A friend of mine has one too and she said it was really difficult to get on properly.
I guess it would works better with people with small breasts that don't need that much support. With a tight top they should give enough support and a smooth silhouette for women whose breasts aren't that big.
That backless bra looks kind of cool. It works kinda like a backpack. I mean, you know... for the front.
