Boobs, Lingerie & Bra Questions Thread (Continued)

I think I might be wearing a bra that's too small in the cup but I'm not sure. I measure 25 inches underbust and almost 31 inches on the bust which I found out would actually make me a 26E. I keep thinking that might be too big though. The padded 28D bra I'm wearing has extra hooks sewn on at the back so I can make it tighter. But if I put it on the tightest setting that is comfortable it still slips when I raise my arms and it leaves gaps in the cups so I keep having to pull them back in. If I put it on the next tightest setting it hurts. The cups also feel a bit too narrow. Could it be too small?

It could be the cups, yes, you might want to try the 28DD, which is the sister size of 26E. I had this problem a while ago and it was due to wearing the wrong cup, so I'd definitely recommend trying a larger one.

Thanks I have a non-padded 28D one too which is also narrow in the cups (apparently all Freya bras are like that?) and I've had that altered at the back too. The cups are filled fine except for near the nipple, there is a bit of bunching and spare material on both cups, but more so on the left breast which I think is a bit smaller than the other. I don't know whether it's just the seams or it's the wrong cup size.

I don't have a Bravissimo ANYwhere near me...

Me neither, which sucks because I hate buying online and waiting ages for the parcel to come only to find I have to send it back! I wish there was one near me so they can help me out, apparently they're brilliant for fittings.

I know I've posted on here before but I actually have some measurements now and I hoped people here could tell me my actual bra size. My underbust is 32 inches. If I measure around the fullest part of my breasts, it's about 37-8 inches (bigger than I thought). I'm currently wearing a 38D...previously I wore a 34D, and before that I wore a 34C. Am I wearing the right size? When I last posted, people suggested that I needed a bigger cup. My 34D bra was pretty tight and the boobs were falling out of the cups a bit...so not sure what size I am...the size guides on the internet tell me that I'm supposed to be a 34C but that can't be true since there's no way a 34C would fit me - so confused at the moment. I tried on a 34E the other day and it fit ok.

EDIT: I just went on this site and it told me that my bra size is 32E-F - this is so confusing

Thank you guys. I really appreciate your help. I think I'll try on some new bras now. Is 32DD/E/F a standard enough size to be stocked in most places?

Need some help with a badly-fitting bra! I'm currently wearing a 34B, and it's giving me such a bad time. I actually have 3 of the same that I wear every day. It used to fit comfortably, but now I have to take it off by the evening because it's so uncomfortable and I'm in pain. At the end of the day I always have red marks where the underwires sit, and around the sides where the band sits. The underwires also dig into my sides. Can anyone tell me what the problem is?

I'm living in Japan right now - I have real problems fitting into any clothes here, and with bras it's the same problem. I am a size 10 and 5ft10, but everything here is made for petite girls. Therefore I need to wait until next month when I am visiting the UK for a few weeks.

Where is the best place to go for a fitting? Also does anyone know of a temporary solution to this pain that I am having because of my bras?

Guys! The Big Bra Bar have released 26 backs in in lingerie set here: http://www.thebigbrabar.com/index.php/shopbysize/28dd/2wenty8-loren-midnight-coming-soon.html

They only have a few cupsizes available, DD, FF, G and H, but hopefully this will at least help some of you out

If only they had a 26D! I'm kinda tempted to try the 26DD, but I think the cup size would be too big. Currently wearing a 28B with me slightly overflowing, so think 26D would be my proper size.

Are you going to get it? You're really similar in size to me, so if you are let me know how it is!
