That's right ladies. If you have a great source of bras for the big busted, share them in this thread. I'm a 46I, and I tend to shop from barenecessities. However, they're pretty limited in the style for that size. Actually, there was only one brand of Sports Bra for my size. >.> It also took two tries to get the right size (spanning over two months because of craziness having to return it through the mail because of shopping online)

    :'( Many cries. I have a Lane Bryant in town, but it only stocks up to the 44H. I'll just have to wait until my size inevitably shrinks to shop there.

    I'm a 38K... would love suggestions as well. I loved a specific bra from Curvy Kate, but it's been discontinued. for sports bras, I squeeze myself into an H-cup from Lane Bryant (Cacique)... not the most comfortable thing in the world, but I haven't been able to find a good full-coverage sportsbra with underwire

    I am a 32G, Nordstrom has a pretty good selection in-store, but I normally buy my bras from websites like Herrom.com, biggerbras.com, figleaves.com, or barenecessities.com. They also sell swimsuits by bra size with underwires for support.

    Herroom.com is my favorite website for shopping. They sell bra sizes in every cup for every band in dozens of amazing brands.

    Eish!! Your poor boobs! (When I got the wrong size, I was smooshing mine in an H, and oh god the pain) I'm in a 46I on this bra. It works well. There's only slight squish, but not enough to make me uncomfortable. An I is better than an H!

    I used to shop online (the only garment shopping I did online) from Figleaves. I recently went to Nordstroms and was very pleased with my experience there. I'm a 30FF. I still can recommend Figleaves, though I wouldn't necessarily go by the reviews. If you're sure of your sizing, don't listen to them.

    I ended up with a sports bra with cups that were too big because I listened to too many people who were trying to fit themselves into too small a size for themselves (I think this is true of many online reviews) and should have just stayed true to size.

    If you're going to online order, I highly recommend going to Reddit and finding the subreddit r/abrathatfits. They have a fitting guide there that has you taking detailed measurements that will ensure a really good fit.

    I'm a G and the only place that I can find them is at Lane Bryant and I absolutely love their bras! Great support and their comfortable.

    This is my absolute favorite brand! You can't order from the website direct but they link to online and in store retailers :) Super cute and insanely comfy! I got my first one at Nordstrom Rack. At that time I got a 36 E, I did see larger sizes available http://www.freyalingerie.com/lingerie/latest-collections.aspx#!t=8036&f=13551

    Try Dillard's. I'm not sure if they carry that high, but they have 34G and do fittings.

    I shop at Herroom.com and Barenecessities.com. When I was pregnant (16 years ago) I found H-K cups at JCPenney, but I can't guarantee that they still carry those now--and it was trial and error because they don't have fitters.

    Do you have a professional bra fitter near you (usually small boutiques)(and not Victoria's Secret)? Seriously life-changing.

    Have you tried the Freya Fancies? It's one of the most comfortable bras I've ever worn. Freya is also my favorite brand as well.

    For the sexier stuff, Frederick's of Hollywood. A friend of mine is an H and she finds bras there. Considering that they started as a supplier for showgirls, they carry larger cup sizes that are hard to find elsewhere.

    Nordstrom and specialty stores. I had to Google for one in my city. Also I understand there are Polish retailers that may sell your size online.

    You might benefit from the Reddit thread "A Bra That Fits." It's got some fantastic resources for bras of all sizes, including 28As to more typical sizes and up through L and N cups.

    Enell. I am a G (Enell size 6) and my bra is not their largest size. A bit expensive but worth it. You can get them a bit cheaper on Ebay. Someone there sells seconds. They have minor imperfections but they look and wear just fine. The only thing is you don't get much choice on colors.

    Herroom.com, I am a 42H-42K, my favorite sports bras are the elomi Energise. In the past I have also had a lot of luck with Enell (though, it had a tremendous amount of hooks and not much encapsulation), and also Goddess.

    I wear Fantasie, almost to the exclusion of everything else, preferrably a specific cut named Lois, including a swimsuit and strapless long line bra.

    Very few other bras seem to sit right in and on my chest; an experienced fitter once told me I'm a difficult fit. I had to learn how to take my own measurements. It made a huge difference to get a bra that fits. Check out that Reddit thread.

    I haven't bought a sports bra yet. Gotta go back to the specialty store. A bra's one thing you have to try on before buying.

    For regular bras, http://www.ewa-michalak.pl/main-eng.html . If you're wearing Goddess, you'll have to convert your US size to UK (should be 46G), so probably around 105G or 105GG (for padded styles). The Ewa padded styles are modesty padding rather than add-a-cup type padding. If you can't find your size in the drop down, e-mail them & they will probably make it for you. For sports bras, Enell.

    I also recommend https://www.reddit.com/r/ABraThatFits/ and http://www.bratabase.com/ .

    32H here, if it hasn't been mentioned already, Amazon marketplace is pretty affordable. Sometimes you can even get free shipping :)

    Bravissimo. Great designs in really big sizes. And their Pepperberry clothing line has some wonderful clothing cut for the big-chested.

    http://www.brastop.com/ is where i used to buy my big bras. i think they send worldwide, but shipping costs are free if you spend 50-60 pounds i think.
