Hypatia Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 You'd think at my age I would have figured this out by now, but I can't seem to find a reliable place to get hard to find bra sizes. My band size and cup size are very different and I can rarely find even one bra in my size in a store. I've had the most success with a store called Lady Grace, but their styles are rather boring. Do any of you have suggestions on where to look? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I do know who you were referring to though. ) Hypatia Here is the first paragraph of that page. The life of Hypatia was one enriched with a passion for knowledge. Hypatia was the daughter of Theon, who was considered one of the most educated men in Alexandria, Egypt. Theon raised Hypatia in a world of education. Most historians now recognize Hypatia not only as a mathematician and scientist, but also as a philosopher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schro Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 .. so asked my son AJ, "What do you want to listen to next?" And he replied, "How about the one with The Camera Eye - I love that wispy middle section" And I started tearing up, cause at that moment I knew my son *really* liked Rush, and.. Wait a second - how'd I wind up in the New World Women forum? Did I click a wrong button or something.. I'm in the BRA thread?! Abort! Abort!

I think I'd go through tape too quickly to make that solution feasible/affordable, though. Tensor bandages. Reusable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GhostGirl Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 I'm not particularly hard to fit, I suppose...but I get bras at Victoria's Secret. The "Very Sexy" collection is my favorite. Plenty of support...esp. for the more full-figured gal. Not that I would know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dweezil Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 Also, if you wear pasties, no one will care if you have crooked hooters. Probably cheaper too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pixey Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 I have the smae problem Hypatia! For years I have had to wear bras that were to big. I am on the very small side. They just dont make any 34 triple A ( I dont care to tell my bra size, there small so what the heck do I care). However I found one recently that fits nearly perfect, was a bigger size than I thought I would need and is pretty comfortable. Its from Playtex, I think its called Nearly there or some cheesy thing like that. Its not an ugly bra but it fits half sizes and almost there. lol. Hanes also has a line of these bras. Walmart carries the Playtex bras for sure but I havent seen the Hanes ones there yet. As for Victorias Secret, they can kiss my lil boobs! They dont carry my size! I cant wear the lil girls bras either cuz they are too tight around. This has been the best solution so far. If you dont have to wear a bra DONT!

Hypatia, I don't know if this will help you, but there are accessories to buy. If you have to make your bra tighter or looser around, they sell individual snaps (I don't know what you call them) that you hook/attach to back and adjust according to your preference.

Even when I do find my size there's only about a 50/50 chance it'll fit properly and be fairly comfortable. ETA: Note to self -- don't do this search at work!

Another good suggestion! I've seen the little clip things that will give a larger band size, but I haven't seen one that'll make a band size smaller. My problem is with getting a big enough cup size for a small band size, not the other way around. I've considered altering larger banded bras to reduce the band size, but I was hoping for a easier solution. Maybe this is it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
