It's become much easier to buy bigger cup sizes in the UK in recent years and Bravissimo is excellent. I recommend their personal fitting service if you're visiting the UK. They don't measure you with a tape, but just by appearance and were spot on first time with me. I've read a number of articles claiming that most women wear a band size that is too large and a cup size that's too small. I certainly used to.

Other than Bravissimo, Marks and Spencer do international deliveries and stock up to a J cup at good prices.

I wear a 32E or F, depending on style so I'm not huge but was doing the two bra thing at the gym until I found a fantastic underwired sports bra. It has virtually stopped my mams from making apparently hypnotic jiggles when running. It's by Freya.

This is the sexiest post I've read in ages.

The stores are UK based. Believe me they have tons of USA women begging for stores on facebook. The sad thing is I don't think many of us actually know about them. I point every woman I can toward them. I want that company to explode and come to America where bra's seem to skitter to a halt at DDD and die out at G. Very few stores carry bra's for a lot of us so we suffer. I have never ever walked into a store and been able to purchase a bra since highschool.

There's obviously a gap in the US / Canadian markets for a big bra retailer.

Bravissimo's founder, Sarah Tremellen, started the business 15 years ago, was awarded an MBE in 2009 for services to entrepreneurship and has grown turnover to £45m+. There's clearly a good market here in the UK. I can't find
anything in their forecast on international expansion but someone is sure to adapt her business model sooner or later. Let's hope so.

The big boobied LPSG ladies from over the pond deserve more choice!

This recent blog from 'the hairpin' on bra shopping in America, is an amusing read and lists some other brands to try.

Mine are pretty big, but not L cup material, so I CAN find bras in my size, but it's the selection that pisses me off. Either I go to Victoria's Secret and I get a bra with a sexy design that fits well but has the UGLIEST COLOR KNOWN TO MAN, and is too expensive in my opinion, or I go to a regular department store and have to get something priced well but "sexy" is the last thing in mind. Clothing makers definitely have issues with accommodating us large breasted ladies. Finding dresses that fit right is an even bigger nightmare...

Hey thanks for the link:wink: Edit beyond funny! So sad but true, "you've been classified by a guy who was probably so enthralled with big tits that he forgot the alphabet after letter four."

Dresses... once again try Bravissimo. I purchased one on a whim to wear to a wedding thinking I had plenty of time to find something in the USA if it didn't fit. It was WONDERFUL. I had boob coverage AND a waist, not a sack. It was EPIC!:biggrin1:

I'm glad you liked it.:smile: It made me laugh too. As Bravissimo is run by a women I think it gives her company extra credibility.

Btw, I should point out that I'm in no way affiliated to Bravissimo. I just like their products and admire Sarah Tremellen's business acumen and determination. She had the balls to buy out her partner early on and turn down big investors.

I could listen to you talk about this all day. But I'll settle for a half hour video with you detailing all this wonderful information about the company and its history, interspersed personal anecdotes, and of course modeling of the product.

I have a dream....

:love:

I just can't get passionate about bras - even considering what is stored in them!

I'm starting to wonder about you. No love for bras, yet you're straight. Never tried tea, coffee or tasted a bacon sandwich, yet you're English. :confused

You're a strange one MoT.

Yeah, strange like a fox! What did I just type? Never mind. :confused: If you weren't a sexy one, I may have fallen out with you after calling me strange. :wink: I am more of a salad and fruit juice kind of guy. I can't cook proper crispy bacon so bacon sandwiches have remained off the menu at my house. I miss my Mummy and her bacon! :frown1:

I am so glad this thread happened - so many places to check out. I have to have a sports bra... and it'd be so nice to find sexy, comfortable bras too.

Thanks to all the big bosomed ladies here!

What about thanks for the thread starter? I feel left out and unappreciated. :frown1:



Alright, just kidding. I'm fine. :smile:
