    Does it cost more to buy larger sizes? Economically speaking, I would assume more fabric would equal more money.

    Please discuss.
    :devil:

    Yes, a lot more. I can't go to sears or some random department store to get my size. It SUCKS.


    ALSO, good way to get the hotties out with the big boobies. Kudos to you sweetness!

    Yes. And you can't even shop in stores, but instead have to go online and buy six or seven and then send 5 back all the time. :frown:

    I know, I have a ton that just don't fit because you are guessing when you get the online based on their version of that size. Someone needs to come measure us accurately and ONLY make our bras specifically for us so we don't have to go thru these issues. #BigBoobProblems

    That would be awesome and not just for a larger bust. Could you imagine how much easier it would be for women who need not only a 38 K but for those who need a 38 AAA?

    Yep, if you're over a DD, the best place to find a bra that's less than $65 is the internet, and even then there's only like a 30% chance it'll fit properly.

    Smaller boobs are waayyy cheaper than bigger ones. :/

    Seriously! In fact, I don't really have big boobs at all- I think I really have a "small back" :laugh: I need a size 30 band. My boobs wouldn't even be that big on a 38 ribcage. I don't see why I should have to pay so much just to get less band fabric. :tongue:

    I honestly have no idea. I was an E cup when I left high school and whilst it is sometimes trickier to find my new size (as I'm now officially into the small back, big cup arena) it isn't any more expensive. Even supermarkets often stock DD+ sizes here, but I think the US is a little behind on bras... or more than a little, actually.

    Actually maybe this is why they are so expensive- a lot of the good "small back" bras are from Euro brands.

    Must just be related to women's clothes, because I don't have to pay any extra for my larger Jock Strap.

    I have the opposite problem. Large band size, smaller cup size. The industry assumes fat chicks all have big boobs. I don't. I have a broad back. And wearing extenders only makes the straps fall down. Sucks.

    I think it's availability that's the biggest issue. If I could wear a 40 DD I could pick it up at a Walmart for $20. Make the cup size a J in the US or a GG in the UK and my bras end up between $81 and $160.

    This. smaller bands with larger cup size are expensive. usually over D cup. Sports bras especially.

    If you are talking about sizes ranging from A to DD in linjerie collections... never saw a difference in price in the same model. Neither in clothes (the same blouse in XS, S, M, L sizes had the same price).

    If we are talking about a C cup generic model and a JJJ cup bra custom made or brought from the exclusive store that sells that big sizes... prices may go very high.

    I never saw a difference in prices.
    I mean... from where I am, few shops have large sizes.
    Like for brands only H&M and C&A had big sizes. And I can't say that the cost of clothes was different (for example normal blouses and bras had the same price range).
    Other than that, there are here generic `fat people clothes stores` which are no-brand whatsoever and thus have small prices. But the models and quality aren't so great either.

    It can be costly when you have such an odd size and have to special order and have them made, or purchase them from other countries and have them shipped to you.

    I use to be a full DD! But with breast feeding and losing weight in now a C cup.

    I'd love to be a full F or G

    I LOVE BIG BOOBS! They are so sexy. God I sound like a pervert!! LOL

    That's true. But hey, having awesome big boobs sure makes up for extra cost!

    My experience has been that regular department stores don't go beyond a DD cup size, so I have to shop at specialty boutiques like Intimacy (love this place!!) to get a properly fitting bra for my 34F's. And that means dropping between 75-150 for a single bra, but they're brands are quality like Empreinte, Freya, Prima Donna, and Fantasie.

    I don't understand how one size can be doubled or selected as a different letter (i.e. an F cup could be considered a DDD) that confuses the crap out of me.

    Same problem. If I want to squish my boobs into a 34DDD I can occasionally find a bra at Kohl's or TJ Maxx for a reasonable price. But to get bras that actually fit (34G) I have to rely on the internet or better department stores.

    They say that something like 80% of Americans wear the wrong bra size, and I have to wonder if it's because of the lack of availability. Too many women assume that they have to fit into one of the sizes available at Target or Walmart and just squish into whatever they can.

    Sister sizes and European vs. American sizing.

    40G or H depending on the manufacturer and yes - they cost A LOT if you want something that doesn't look like your great Aunt Edna's iron underwear. Unfortunately - even within the larger sizes they don't all run true. In Elomi, I am a G, in some of the other larger bra makers it's gone up to an H.

    FYI to the ladies on the thread - Elomi makes an AWESOME sports bra with underwire. You can run without getting a black eye - "the girls" stay put. It costs around $80 per bra but beats the hell out of double bra'ing it or wearing the ones that smash the girls flat.

    Its so frustrating to see super cute bras in Wal Mart or JC Penny or wherever and they only go up to a C or D at most (if you're lucky). And even if they go up to D, they take out the cleavage-making part. Just because my girls are big doesn't mean I don't want to shove 'em up like smaller girls get to.

    I end up having to go online to get quality as well as the structure/style I want.

    Yep. My sister can pop into a store and get any bra for 10-20 bucks and I have to go to lane bryant or online and if they aren't having a sale, its at least $40. Before kids, I was a 40DDD, Now a 40H/42G depending on the brand and it is almost like all bra makers stop making good bras after DDD...and they start at around $50 or higher :sad:

    I haven't tried Elomi. Freya makes a very supportive underwired sports bra, but it only comes in black, white, or nude.
