Go to Macy's and have them help you get that perfect fit, also let them know if any dislikes first hand like lace, rubber, satin etc..
A perfect fit is so comfy.0 -
Go to a lingerie store and get a professional bra fitting. Most women are wearing the wrong size! I know I was! Once you know what size to look for its much easier to find whet you need in your price range.0

Seriously, if there is an intimacy near by, I'd go. I went a couple of years ago and found that I was a size smaller and that I fit into european styles much easier than America's VS. I'm wide so there are some makers that definite think of those with wider ribcages, "back fat" etc. They are kinda price-y but one or 2 bras will do a world of wonder! If there is no intimacy, I'd suggest Nordstrom, their lingerie area and specialists are pretty great!0

I used to work at Victoria's Secret and yes, you do need to get re-measured every so often. If you're losing weight/gaining muscle stuff changes. If VS doesn't have something comfortable for you, try Macy's, Soma Intimates, or Lane Bryant if you have a larger frame.0

I go to Lane Bryant. It's always buy one, get one half off. They tend to be great quality and they help to measure and fit you. They're worth it. I also like that it doesn't feel like I have to hunt so much to find something that fits right. They have all kinds.0

I have had good luck with departments stores and Lane Bryant. My bra size is odd - smaller band with bigger cups, and it can be really hard to find a bra to fit the bill. VS definitely doesn't have anything that works for me, but places like Dillards has surprisingly come through for me! Don't know how many of these are international though, if you're not in the US.0

Another Lane Bryant bra fan here. Most stores have employees trained to measure and fit you as well. Sign up for their coupons and you will get ones like $25 off a $75 purchase.0

I should note that i was professionally measured last week. I am a 44I....Lane Bryant, fashion Bug, nordstrom, Macy's....they don't go higher than an H!0

Soma Intimates is great!!0

http://www.breakoutbras.com/ Pretty much the only place I buy bras now.0

If you're not bigger than a DDD go to Maidenform.... but I have to say that because I used to work there0

Enell are the only bra I wear to work out in, run in, lift weights in. I was a 40DDD and they worked awesome and now I'm down to a 36D and they still work well (obviously it's a new size LOL).
They are ugly really but they work!
For every day wearing Lane Bryant is the place I loved!!0 -
Try this site.

I live by their store here in Southern California but they have many styles and sizes on line. They have your size!0 -
I just got sized at Macy's (32DD) and bought some fabulous ones - Wacoal brand ($42-$60).
There is absolutely a difference in quality bras and having the correct size.
Good luck and Happy bra shopping!!
FYI: Where ever you choose to go check your modesty at the door because they get up close and personal :laugh:0 -
Try bareneccesities.com they have bras up to L cup0

I just noticed this reply. This site might be helpful also: http://www.biggerbras.com/ I haven't ordered from them, but it looks like you can search by size. Also, a 44I in US standard sizes is the same as a 44G from European manufacturers. My favorite brands are Fantasie and Freya, and my sports bra is by Elomi. Good luck!0 -
