[Whiney vent] Can't buy bras that fit!

Heva -try bendon outlets, they have a brand called Dimity So, loveable do a small 10, and although not maternity but wirefree, Victoria's secret. The sizing is pretty spot on if you know your euro size!

**MLR1901** · April 29th, 2012, 09:59 PM

Actually Dimity So starts at size 8, and cups at D but smallish D's. I'm usually a 10C but in there's sometimes an 8 DD.
Normal bendon run small so a 10 would be an 8.

GL, I hate bra shopping! And Jean shopping! Otherwise love shopping!!

I hear you, sister.

My boobies got bigger with DS1, and bigger again now, so I'm between an F and a G cup, needless to say, it's hard getting bras - so I've recently placed my first online order ... fingers crossed, it will be ok!

I had a really quick hunt for you, and I found a "Rio by Freya" which looks ok and comes in your size through blest bras (it wasn't the only one they have, but it's the only one which is lacey) but you'd have to order it in ... but I hope you find something you like!!

I can only shop online for bras these days. It takes a bit of getting used to, but it's way cheaper than going to the specialty shops and paying $150-$200 for one bra! I'm a US size 32H - I think about an AUS size 10H. Try finding that in a department store for $30!
There's a US online store that might help you out, Heather - it's called Breakout Bras, and they carry quite a pretty wide range. I believe you'd be looking for a 30C in US sizes. (google the shop and you should come up with it no problem.)
Hope you find something good soon! I hate poor fitting bras. Just makes everything you wear seem wrong.

Thanks ladies! I'll check out those sites when I can get on a pc next.

Did you have any luck, H&Z??

My new bras arrived today, and I showed them off for DH, and I just can't wait until they're washed and dried, and I can get them into circulation!!

I'd forgotten how magnificent properly fitting bras are ... Ahhhhhhhhh!

You're so right! I felt exactly the same the first day I wore my new one a few weeks ago. It was heaven to not have to spend half my time pulling and tugging on it all day long and to oh my goodness actually feeling comfortable AND supported. Bliss I have to keep reminding myself that good fiting bras and good fitting shoes are not a luxury but an essential

**Shanti** · May 5th, 2012, 08:47 PM

Heva, you said you are an 8C I think (Ive forgotten already, sorry) and the bra fitter said the 10C fit you in the cup . that would normally suggest looking for an 8D. If you think an 8D would work try bravissimo (UK) they have two bras in 8Ds. They are UK sizing, I think an 8 is 30 (an 18 is 40, they start at 28) and I have brought mostly from there for the last four years though Im the other end of the scale.
