    I like Lane Bryant bras. That's where I've purchased the majority of my bras. I've gotten a few from Victoria's Secret, but you have to order them from the website, because they don't carry DDD in the store. :grumble: They fit well, and are comfortable, but for the price and comfort, I'd rather go with Lane Bryant.

    Honestly, Victoria Secret! They don't have a ton in DDD, but they have some that are very cute.... HOWEVER from your picture, I think you may be off size wise!

    VS is amazing!!! I went shoppoing with a friend recently to help with her daughter. We went in there (she thought she was a DD), the woman looked at her and said, "No, No honey, you are probably hurting and are starting to have back issues because you are wearing the wrong size bra." She measured the daughter, and indeed, she was a much smaller band size and a larger cup size.... The difference in how she carried herself after putting on the new bra said it all!

    If you're talking sports bra.. "tata tamer" or "booby bracer" from lululemon. c - e cups.

    I am bumping to find new places to shop. I also have a hard time finding pretty bras that are supportive.

    I agree with Lane Bryant and Delta Burke also has a line that are pretty sexy. They are very comfortable too!

    I think Nordstoms goes up to a J cup. I buy mine at a local shop. Elomi brand bras are amazing.

    You need to make sure you are wearing a high-impact supportive sports bra, and not just a regular bra in the correct size. You can measure yourself to make sure you have the correct fit (the band size is the measurement around your rib cage under your breasts, not over them). If you want to be measured, go to a high-end bra store to have it done. Some Vicky's will do a half-*kitten* job of measuring you and it will NOT be accurate. get a good sports bra at an athletic store like TC running or someplace like that, not a lingerie store. When you are wearing the sports bra and working out, the band should sit across the middle of your back and stay there, not slide up your back, and your breasts should not bounce.

    I'm a 34 HH I can only get supportive sport bras from the specialty places. They aren't real pretty, but at least there is no jiggle. After enough Zumba jumps, pretty became less important. Mr Doctor tells me when I lose the next 20 pounds my boobs will go down, but I really think I have this set forever.

    I am a large breasted woman, as well. I found some super amazing and supportive sports bras at Lane Bryant. I think they are even on sale right now; buy 1 get 1 half off :wink:

    sports bras are usually pretty ugly.. it's a fact.. When you are trying to control that much tissue you need some pretty serious engineering.

    My fav is a shock absorber brand with two clips in the back (more support)... and PLEASE go get properly fit :)

    Save the cute bras for the sassy dress on date night :)

    Go here. You can measure yourself to insure you are getting the proper size. I've been buying my bras from this site for the last couple of years. I've bought 5 or 6 now and never had an issue with the sizing that was calculated for me. I am a busty girl, 34G.

    I even bought the bikini I have on in my profile pic from this site.

    Last time I was in Victorias Secret they did not have anything bigger than a size 34...I could not believe it. Maybe it has changed but I was really not that big...
    Ebay has some great deals. Whatever bra you decide on, come home and find it on Ebay.It will be much cheaper!

    I was wearing the wrong size until I was 40. I'm busty but not very large, so super hard to fit. Then I went to a local lingerie shop and got measured and fitted by a professional. See went way beyond giving me the right size -- she matched me to bras for my particular build and shape. Were the bras expensive? Yes. Did they make me feel and look MUCH better? Yes. Worth EVERY PENNY. The right bra will make you comfortable and confident and take pounds off of you.It'll also last longer than a cheapo.

    Once I new my true size and figured out what brands/features I liked, I starting shopping on ebay and herroom.com for replacements (new with tags). Also, believe it or not, ****s carries some large cup sizes in the store.

    VS, generally, does not carry much in larger cup sizes (and most women are wearing a too-small cup), and their bras aren't very supportive for those of us who gravity has not smiled upon. Also, I have not found their sales people to be well trained on how to size.

    Lame Bryant. That's where I get mine...38C.... comfortable enough to sleep in!

    I think it's a matter of trying on several in different stores to find the right one. I too like Victoria's Secret!

    every bra I own that actually fits me right (I'm a ~32E) I got from bareneccessities.com. You can search by size and they often have sales or discount codes. I have never found VS bras to fit properly, at least for me with a smaller band and larger cup size.

    Were you looking for sports bras, or regular use bras? For regular use, I prefer Soma Intimates (34F here). They are way better at measuring than VS, overall. The bras are pretty and they stock all the way up to J cup, and will get you anything larger within 24 hours for you to try on.

    I get my bras from Lane Bryant. I can never find my size at Victoria's Secret. Would love a bra from there.

    My friend likes Infinity brand - plus they adjust the bands once they stretch out or if you lose weight. She gets them in the USA... I always forget when I go across the border to look for them.

    ^ this.

    when I had the big boobie problem I got mine at LB or would go to VS and shop the store and then go home and order my size onilne in the ones I liked. They rarely ever had my size in the store.
