Here's an interesting site for those of us more fully endowed "Big Girls Bras":
http://www.biggerbras.com/catalog/br...&price=&offer=
It seems to have a good search function also but when I used it, the site has not too many bras appropriate for me.

I found that it helps to get measured. Someone above mentioned needing a smaller band size and larger cup size. True for me. And if you pretty much know your size and a salesperson suggests a bigger band and smaller cup, step away! There are some My Intimacy shops around the country, recommended by Oprah, and I went to one and I like my bras now. I'm guessing other places around the country could measure too.

Ok I'll add my 2 cents. :lol: I'm with everyone else, can't find a comfortable one!!
I'm not that big busted (average I'd say) but still they either ride up the back, I fall out when I bend over or the band rolls up under my chest when I sit. Yeah, I see ya'll nodding. :lol:
I have been fitted too by a pro and it still doesn't help. I like to breath too, especially because I have asthma which a tight fitting bra doesn't help that! :roll:
So if anyone finds one LET ME KNOW!!
Breezies aren't comfortable for me. I do like the all nylon ones, but are not too supportive and they roll. :thumbdown:

Never had a problem with bras until I started gaining weight 3 yrs ago. My youngest daughter just told me about a bra that she got at Fredericks of Hollywood. She wears a 40 DD and says this is the most comfortable bra she has ever had. It does have wide straps and kind of looks like an 1940's swim suit so not everyone would like that. It was also very inexpensive. I never dreamed that I would be planning a shopping trip to Fredericks!

Also, PTquilts, do you wash your bras in an undergarment wash-bag? I used to have that problem of the underwire poking out with EVERY bra I bought, even the super expensive ones, until I started washing in the bag and they stopped gaining excess moisture and weakening.
Just have to say, Wow, there are a lot of us "full-figured gals" here - maybe we ought to put out a calendar!! ;-)
