Bra Shopping Gone Bad
I am sooo disgusted. I have been Bra shopping for a month. I posted a while back on here that I ordered the Le Mystere bra recommended by Oprah. It came in and was way to big even though I did the measuring exactly like their web told me too. It also looked like a grannie bra. I went to all higher end department stores we have and can not find anything that fits right. I even went to Victoria Secret today and tried on about 10 different bras and none of them fit. I am sooooo tired of this. I tried on a 36 DD and it was too big. I tried a 36 D and the cup didn't cover good. I tried 34 DD and the cup was too big. I can't understand the problem. I need a 34 D 1/2. lol. If i could find 1 good bra that actually fit comfortably and held the girls in place I wouldn't care what price I had to pay. Sorry I just had to vent..............
Oh yeah, I forgot 1 more bra. The playtex in the box. OMG I had such pointed boobs in this that i could have used them as pencils to write a letter.

Re: Bra Shopping Gone Bad
Yea bra shopping is a pain in the butt. Maybe you need a deeper cup, but not quite a DD...do they make 38D? I'd try that one!

Re: Bra Shopping Gone Bad
yes, i know finding just one bra is a pain in the a**. you have to try dozens just to find one suiting you. if you can have it in your country, try the brand "Barbara".

Re: Bra Shopping Gone Bad
It sounds as though you are an "in between" sized person. Try going to a specialty shop.

Re: Bra Shopping Gone Bad
I am sorry that you are having a difficult time finding a bra that fits you properly. Have you thought to go to a Professional Bra Fitter? HTH=)

Re: Bra Shopping Gone Bad
I feel your pain.. bra shopping is the worst! I don't know if you've tried Lane Bryant yet but they have some great bras in bigger cup sizes. And I realize they cater to more voluptuous sized ladies, but they actually carry bras from size 36C and up. Their bras really are fabulous, you should try them! Good luck!
(By the way, I think the size 36's are only carried in a few stores and online.)

Re: Bra Shopping Gone Bad
I know how you feel........I too am a 34dd but one boob is actually a 34dd and a half!!!LOL
I'd sugest you go with the 34D as long as there aren't really squished...I think thats better than loose cups.
good brands I have tried are...... maidenform65302, chantelle2701,wacoal65302, olga35069
take a look here it's a great site!

Re: Bra Shopping Gone Bad
Oh man, do I feel your pain! It's reall annoying and frustrating. I actually found my best fitting bra at Target!! And actually, sometimes just changing the straps can help somthing that is "almost there".
But one brand, I can't rememer who, actually has 1/2 sizes now! You may wanna give them a try. I wish you luck, I really know how much it sucks!

Re: Bra Shopping Gone Bad
aww bless you! i had the same problem all the time! but in the end i gave up and stuck to the closest i could find! you might have to do the same and maybe just alter the straps or something.
Sorry to hear you are so p'd off with it all

Re: Bra Shopping Gone Bad
Thanks everyone, at least I know I am not alone in this bra hunt. lol. I dont think a 38D would work because some of the 36's that I tried on were to big around. I really need a 34 and a freakin cup that covers these bad boys. I am going to go that site dentaldee suggests and check it out. It is hard though ordering online because you aren't there to try it on. As for going to a professional, really the only professionals around here are Victoria Secret and I was there yesterday and they didn't give me anything that really covered. The problem I am findng most is that the girls bunch up in the middle and then you look like you have 2 sets of boobs. I wish I could have them reduced that would fix it all. lol
Hey, what does [i]fuller figure[i] mean? Is it talking about your body or your boobs? Dumb question I know but I really don't know what it means.

Re: Bra Shopping Gone Bad
full figure usually means bigger around...........minimizer bras usually hold in tight and lift nicely
if you go to that website you can window shop and see what you want.........most major department stores will sell many of the same brands.......not target or walmart but jcpenny or khols.......I'm not familiar with US dept. stores but the higher end ones.......I'm sure you know what i mean!!

Re: Bra Shopping Gone Bad
Yes, I know what you mean. I did go to kohl's and buy a few but they turned out to not be very good. I went in JCPenney's yesterday and had about 5 bra's in hand ready to try on and my husband called and said come get me from work asap so I didnt get to try them on.  but I will got back there in a day or two and try and find the ones I had in my hand and try them. I just feel like they probably wont work either.
