Women’s Bras for Hard-to-Fit Sizes

December 2, 2009 by Diana · 1 Comment 

Finding a comfortable bra that fits well and feels good can be a challenge for women who wear regular sizes, but for women who wear unusual sizes, it can be downright impossible.

My grandmother, for example, was probably about an H-cup.  But since the discount department stores where she shopped (JcPenney, Montgomery Ward, Sears) didn’t carry anything above a double-D, she’d bend over, strap herself in to the DD, and walk around all day with her torpedo-shaped bustline bursting at the seams.   The straps would dig into her shoulders and her back often hurt.   But in her mind, she didn’t have any other option.  She wouldn’t go without, and she never considered custom.

These days, fortunately, if you’re hard to fit – whether large or small – you don’t have to go around all day in an ill-fitting bra.  The Internet makes finding hard-to-fit sizes easy.

Some places to look online include:

Bigger Bras

BiggerBras.com

They do have a large selection of bigger bras, as their name implies, but they also carry sizes 32AA to 56K.  You’ll find strapless, sexy, sports, t-shirt, nursing, mastectomy – you name it—at reasonable prices.

Fig Leaves

Figleaves.com

Upscale lingerie shop carrying a large assortment of mid to high end brand names in a variety of styles and sizes.  Find sports, flirty, strapless, maternity, nursing – and more—and enjoy the pretty, artistic pictures as you shop.

Woman Within

WomanWithin.com

Nice selection of comfortable styles in cup sizes B-J. You can also find other undergarments and shapewear and very reasonable prices.

Now obviously there are other choices, but this gives you an idea of what’s out there.  If you’re having trouble finding something that fits in your size where you live, look online.  You can literally bring the world to your doorstep.
