There's an English website called Figleaves (dot co dot uk) which has specialist bras and undies for us "larger" women. I'm an F cup... up to a GG when breastfeeding, so need a little help and support IYKWIM!
I find that the matching stuff makes me feel SO much sexier...
that figleaves site is a bloody revelation Divvy. I've just looked at their stuff on how to know whether you're wearing the right size. I've been presuming that because my bras ride up at the back that they're too small but I've got that completely wrong and I'm apparently wearing a band size too big. Just adjusted the bra I'm wearing and put on a tighter fastening and hey presto, no riding up.
Evidently have much to learn about this grooming business.
Yep
I buy matching Bra and undies! I am a DD cup aswell, I buy them through UnderCoverWear, the bras are about $39 each but they are brilliant,supportive and last a long time, i would rather spend money and get quality instead of quantity.
As for when AF is visiting i wear just Black undies and i have a few black bra's just plain ones that are convertiable.
I have bought a couple of Sports bra's and i hunted high and low for a nice pair of pale blue undies that i like.
Slightly OT, but one of the best things I ever did was to get a bra fitted properly by a specialist shop. Had been going to a department store previously but they got it completely wrong. Has really made a difference (went from 22 DD to a 16G!)
As for buying bras and underwear that go together - only time I did this was for my wedding. Now I just buy for practicality. I think I feel more sexy with my outer wear.
I have a few matching bra and undies sets but the bras don't fit me anymore I would luuurve to buy some matching sets that fit me but I want to lose weight first (who knows when that will be ) I am a DD to an E (seems to vary from bra to bra) and can't really find many nice bras. I have bought some off Zodee which are very nice
That's amazing Gargy! Yep, last time I got fitted by a department store they told me I was something like a 10E which was completely wrong too. So I kind of gave up on the fitting thing but maybe I should try a specialist shop.
as for the great big boobs girls.. i was in Myer the other day and saw they stock a UK brand (sorry cant remember the name) that services the 'fuller figure' but in a great sexy way. so you can always give that a try -
fionas - i can't believe you were nursing bras after nursing! i dislike them immensley (have been wearing them non-stop for over 3 yrs as i've been nursing straight) but when i go out at night i always swap to a good minimiser that has underwire.

I'm not sure if this is the one doulamamma is referring to, but FAYREFORM are fairly excellent for the fuller figure / big boobs. They tend to be a fair bit pricey - around the same as Hot Milk (check out the ABA store) but i found the one i did buy (and the others i really wanted to) to be really good.
AND they have absolutely gorgeous sets...
It's also the only brand that i found actually made bras in a size that fit... & it was a 16HH... All i seem to find otherwise is that i (like my mat. bras at the moment) have to get band sizes too big to give me enough cup room (arrgh... wearing an 18F which seems tiny and the ride up is driving me bloody bonkers...!)
To answer your question though... i have one matching set... im hard pressed to ever find any...
