Thanks for the link!
This is reminding me that I seriously need to go back to the Women's Health Boutique and get fitted for some new brassieres...it makes a HUGE difference to have a properly fitted one.

oohh...finally someone comes up with a good idea lol...

I had a breast reduction 8 years ago. I was a 34 H!! As in A, B, C, D, DD, DDD, E, F, G, H!!! Seriously! And I looked sooo weird b/c I wore like a size 8 jean and then had this HUGE bust. And I so remember never being able to find clothes that fit.

Yikes, H. I'll stop complaining about my F then. Atleast Motherhood makes a bra in an F...beyond that it is much harder to find! Department stores never make my size.

I can't afford $90 for a shirt, but if I could, I'd shop there!!

::clears throat:: 54I.

That is all.

Lena I had to have my bras custom fitted and they were 85 dollars each. I had 2 - one black and one white. It was actually the lady at the custom fitting place that finally convinced me to have the reduction...I never forget what she said to me... "honey you are too young and too pretty to be carrying around such a heavy burden" and then she gave me a big old grandma-like hug while I cried on her shoulder...I'll always remember that lady b/c seriously that surgery changed my life.

OH cool! I am ALL over this!!!

Yup, I can't find bras in 36 E-F. There are a few places that make "DD" and "DDD" but it's not quite enough and there is never the support I need. I simply don't WEAR button up shirts! That site looks fantastic, and yeah, if I had the money I'd be shopping there for sure!

Lindy, check online at Lane Bryant (www.lanebryant.com) they carry bras in extended sizes on their website. I wear a 38DDD and their Cacique brand of bras is awesome!

Ummm, sorry, Nikki, but we're definitely gonna be needing to see some before pictures! I cannot even IMAGINE you w/breasts that big! I gotta see it.

I most definitely don't belong in this thread {sniff sniff} with breasts so small that even when they were "big" from nursing, my friend looked at me in surprise and said, "REALLY?! You can nurse?! But they're so SMALL!" So I'm jealous of all you with your double portions.

Yeah, but it's not so much fun when you have to spend $75-$100 bucks on a bra...and they wind up being ugly...hard to find pretty bras when you get up in a G (or M---thought they were gonna explode after Rachel was born).
And finding shirts that fit can be done...but a dress or a suit...bwahhahahahaaaaa...NOT so easy!

[nikkiARNGwife]

...and it's no fun when they hang down to your belly button lol..

okay..I'm so embarrassed to post this pic but here I am about a week before my surgery in 2001. This is a pic of a pic b/c my scanner is broken, but you can see...they were huge. (that's me on the left )

[joelsgirl]

OMGosh, the boys must have LOVED you!

[Jenn Barrette]

Very cool! They are bit out of my price range. For bras, I suggest www.brasthatfit.net

There are some great ones that go up to a 48H for only $40! I buy all my bras through them.
