I'm not that big, but I find that Frederick's has the best off-the-rack (so to speak) selection of bras for larger breasts than anyone else. The problem is with most of the manufactures is that once they get up to size D or larger, there's no more padding (which greatly adds to comfort) and many of the bras are actually minimisers! I'm not ashamed of my boobs, nor do I want to make them appear smaller just because they might make someone else feel uncomfortable. I want them supported and looking full (support is very important for your back as well as avoiding stretch marks).
Custom made bras would be great, but I've been able to repair and alter my bras from Fred's and get pelnty of use out of them for much less investment, but as I said, I'm not exactly huge.

No smack coming there, Alley- you're hardly a noob! Unless of course you were hoping? I'm a 36DD, but that size is still easy enough to find in ready made bras, they even have a select few at Walmart. Anything over DD is where women have tremendous difficulties with bras, being in the strip club industry I get to hear it all.
By the way, I didn't find the fact that Annie Mae had a sense of humor to mean she is a man! You guys are harsh. Having dealt with the lack of availability of large size garments myself from only being my size, I can totally see how rough it is for the truly endowed woman to find the appropriate bra, and if the fit isn't perfect, the pain can be intense. I like the support I get from underwire bras, but as I said the perfect fit is crucial and it took me quite a while to find it. I don't get to buy the $6 bras from Walmart, I have to suck it up and get the $40 ones from Fred's, but they leave less scars (I have permanent scars under my breasts from bras over the years) and feel better on my back. If I were a little perkier I would just go without, but at my age that's just not a good option.
It'sjustme, most of us have that issue- here's my best advice: buy a bra with pad inserts and take out the pad in the cup side of the larger breast. It will help give a more even appearance and feel a bit more comfortable as well.
