Hating my NSVs these days. Appreciate some help

I have very similar problems! I have a tiny chest 34C for my 5'11" frame. Also I have really muscular thighs (and they are genuinely muscular not just fat) so I have to get jeans 3 sizes bigger to be tight on my *kitten* and legs but then end up with loads of spare material at the waist band!! So frustrating! Have resorted to wearing long tops and leggings but need new jeans!! Grr!!

I would love to know where you get long tops for 5'11. I love longer tops but find them impossible to find. At least that would hide my tripple roll waist for when I wear pants to small haha.

Unfortunately we are not all "off the rack" people. Sounds to me like you need to find a good tailor!

Been there, tried 5 (3 girls 2 guys). Some things are hard to tailor, and I've had a couple things made from scratched which were horrible, and tailored which were wearable but really not wroth to money.

Great bras and swimsuits (haven't tried anything else from them) ... I am a 32E... that is a hard one to find as well... :flowerforyou:

I love you. I just found 11 in my size. Unfortunately they're all mostly the same style (plunge). I can find several plunge ones. I can't find anything to wear with a tank top because they come out over it. Two of them I own and they're not very supportive, 3 of them I tried on including the sports bra but I think it may have been a larger size I tried haha. I guess that's how small the pool is I'm choosing from.

Anyone reading this with a similar problem, so far I've found Marie Jo and prima donna the most comfortable. But once again they're all plunge.

I'm also having trouble finding a bra in my size (Very slim chest measurement). I went to several stores but they didn't have any in my size. But today I found an internet shop and ordered some bras. Hope they will fit. It's a german site though so it probably won't help you

I don't care what sizing they're in, most of the stuff I end up getting is European which isn't usually here. I even managed to find one in Australia. That one didn't really fit right though and is very frilly and kinda big...my only strapless.

In terms of the sports bra issues, I use the Enell sports bras and they are AMAZING! My boobs don't move nearly as much as they would with doubling plain hanes sportsbras and all that stuff. I highly recommend them! Get on their website and you can find places that will sell them (some of them are running stores). Good luck!

Enell is to baggy in the cup and kinda lose in the band in the smallest size

I can sympathize with the jeans problem. I have a 33 waist and a 40 butt... I've been able to find jeans at Deb that are made for girls with big butts and small waists... They help so much with the plumber crack problem and have a little stretch to them for my also ":thicker" thighs...

Hope things get better!!

Where is this deb you speak of :P

Either have your clothes altered, or learn to sew.

I have a sewing machine but don't really know how to deal with jeans...not really use to it.

I have the same bust as you! I shop on barenecessities.com for bras and I have not been let down since. I have an AMAZING sports bra I got from there but I don't remember what the brand is. You will find that shopping for your specific chest can get a little pricey, but for the right fitting bra and comfort it's 100% worth it!

Is the sports bra the only one that was listed there? I found that my champion one fit and held better even though it's a little lose. But yes, I can see it being amazing considering the other alternatives lol. And it is totally 100% worth it.

Thank you melbot24! I'm on the site now. Also checking out the sites everyone else sent. Thanks guys! http://us.levi.com/quiz/index.jsp <-that site is the bomb! Except I went to levis in New York and couldn't find anything to fit me

For shirts I love DownEast basics they make their shirts long and fitted as I have the long torso issue so I hate worrying about shirt length. I think this is what you were asking and it also helps with the jeans having plumber crack since they are longer??? Hope this helps!!

Yes, thank you. This is why I like long shirts haha. I'd also love to find a spot that does T's with saying on them. I collect them, have about 40, but they're all to short :S

I have never met anyone in my life with a 28" bust, not even in middle school. I didn't even know they made such a size! Are there any stores that do customer sizing?

The 28" is her band size; she has a 34" bust (34 - 28 = 6, giving her a cup size of DD). That is still pretty small, though, and bras with a 28" band, regardless of cup size, are hard enough to come by. If you have a 28" *bust* and actually need a bra (i.e., have more than an inch or so of difference between that and your ribcage measurement), you're better off just continuing to wear the corset you've obviously been using since you were twelve. Mostly because you might crack in half if you go without it.

It's gradually becoming more and more clear that I'm going to need to acquire either a tailor or a sewing machine as I continue to shrink. This thread has some good info in it, though. I'm a 38DD/DDD now; I used to be a 42C. Lost inches around my ribcage but the girls are hangin' on for dear life, lol. I see now that I'm going to need to bite the bullet and buy a big-girl sports bra if I want to continue doing any kind of worthwhile exercise; the wimpy off-the-rack Hanes jobbies cannot hope to contain the awesome power of my breasts any longer.

Correct to the T. Impressed, so many people don't know how to size. It also depends on the manufacturer. Some cup sizes do not change with band size. An 28A cup would be the same as a 38A cup but the band would be different. Usually a 28DD is the size of my fist and a 38DD is the size of my head haha (this is the difference between me and my sister). Also, usually you tightly measure your actual band size and add a couple inches (3-5 depending on the manufacturer and your band size).

Have you heard of Lynx bras? Enell is great and everything but butt ugly. Lynx is new and was made by a fairly thin chesty runner and run in very different sizes then normal. Would love to hear experiences. I seriously tried on a bunch of bras and jumped up and down in the dressing rooms and would love a try at lynx lol. Tried several champions, several under armor, a lulu, several moving comfort, several sporttek etc...the hanes are aweful lol. Also, someone says _blank_ is really good and you dissagree it may be the style. I found a couple of the champions pretty bad but there's 2 that well, I've never been able to find anything better, and they're still to big for me.
