I need help :( Can anybody help me find somewhere where I can find cute bikinis in 38G?? I have been looking high and low on the internet and at every clothing store I could possibly think of. I have ended up in tears several times because I either get click baited or they cost $90+ just for the top??? I’ve never worn a bikini before because of body image issues and this is just making me feel even worse please help :’)
Why can’t brands just be inclusive of all body types

UK brands like Panache, Freya and Fantasie sell many bra sized bikinis. I find them on sale on Amazon and sites like www.barenecessities.com and www.breakoutbras.com. www.bravissimo.com also has a lot of options although they have less sales.
Best place for a bra fitting in Madison for people with larger busts? I’ve been going to La Lingerie for years after a bad experience with Contours on the west side. Any further recommendations for places like this?
ETA: Shopping for a 32I/34H so I do need recs that cater to odd sizes

Is Madison a requirement? The only 2 "professional" ones I've had here were all wrong. Went online to breakoutbras.com and never looked back. Half an hour on the phone with ones of their reps and you'll know exactly what size you need and what style to look for. This through pregnancy, nursing, weight gain and loss, and 16 yrs of normal aging. Free return shipping for anything that doesn't work out. Enormous selection and top notch service with experts.
This size is astounding - 40H [measurement check] My measurements as per the guide were:
Lose underbust - 42in
Snug underbust - 41in
Tight underbust - 38in
Standing bust - 50in
Leaning bust - 52in
Laying bust - 48.5in
I’m currently wearing a 38DD and have been for about 10 years! My breast currently sit on my stomach and are not fully covered by my cup.
The guide put me at a 40 H for UK sizes. Should this be correct? By my best guess I believe that I have projected breasts.
If this is correct can anyone give me recommendations on where I can buy reliable bras in this size. I am in the US and mainly have access to US retailers. I’ve never had to look for them this big and am overwhelmed and don’t know where to start. Thank you I’m advance and happy new year!

In your size range (which is also mine, and yes, sticker shock is real), Elomi, Curvy Kate, and Sculptresse are popular. These are UK-made and UK-sized bras available on Amazon and retailers like barenecessities.com and breakoutbras.com.
Anyone have a good sport bra recommendations? (I’m new to this sub) Sport Bra reccs?
I just measured myself with the calculator and I’m a British 32G/GG or US 32I/J.
Anyone have any recommendations on where to find a good sports bras in this size?
Smart-Aleck-Mom replied:
Another vote for the Panache sports bra, or Freya also makes good sports bras. You’d want your UK size in both brands, probably 32G in the Panache and 32GG in the Freya (at least, one runs bigger than the other for me at 34FF/G). Anita is good too, EU sized so you’d want 32I (can’t remember if they make a J). Check [Breakout Bras](http://www.breakoutbras.com), [Bare Necessities](http://www.barenecessities.com), or Amazon. I also like [Her Room](http://www.herroom.com) for selection and sales, but some sub users have had trouble with returns there so you may want to save that one until you’re sure of your size/preferred brand.

I would recommend Panache Sport (which uses encapsulation rather than compression) and Shock Absorber. You can try Amazon, Bravissimo US site, Breakout Bras... Good Luck!
What are some places to get cute lingerie? 28J here, help! I’m desperately wanting some cute lingerie (lace, leather, etc.) but everywhere that people have recommended don’t have my size ): according to the ABTF calculator I’m a 28J or 30I sister size. I’m just feeling insecure these days (quarantine funk?) and really want something cute and sexy to wear at home. Into fetish stuff so leather is definitely on the table.
If anyone has any good sites to recommend please let me know! (T ^ T)
TIA ٩( 'ω' )و

I am guessing you are taking about US28J/30I? In this size range there are plenty of bras avaliable but you will need to search for your UK size instead. Look up 28GG/30G in brands like Panache, Curvy Kate and Freya. All these brands sell many lacy bras and I know I have seen some leather type bras by Curvy Kate. You can find them sold on Amazon and sites like www.barenecessities.com, www.breakoutbras.comwww.figleaves.com and www.brastop.com. [Asos](https://www.asos.com/us/search/?q=bras) should also have some bras although they are a UK site they convert to US sizes.
Ladies, I absolutely despise bra shopping but it's time to shop. Where have you had the best service and most reasonable price without paying $100 + for specialty sizing?
Jill B. replied:
I've had success with breakoutbras.com . But it's in US funds so it depends on the exchange rate :)
Kristen L. replied:
I second Breakout Bras. Same brands and more sizes than tops and Bottoms and they are 1/3 the price. Free shipping too!
Kristen L. replied:
Even with the current exchange I just bought 2 Bras through Breakout Bras that would have cost me over $220 at T&B for $87 after the exchange.
Anonymous asks: Can anyone recommend a comfortable plus-size underwire nursing bra? I wear a 46E(DD) Motherhood maternity has only 1 and its horribly uncomfortable. Bravado doesnt carry my band size. Would prefer if it were some place in town so I can try them on and not have to ship back and forth. Thanks.
Nicole M. replied:
I know you said you would prefer a store in town, but breakoutbras.com has a huge selection of underwire nursing bras in all sizes and they give detailed instructions on how to measure yourself. Von Maur also will measure you.
Where can I find a long torso swimsuit that is age appropriate for someone in their 20 ' s? I tried shaefers but no luck. Looking for a real one piece swimsuit and also a nicer one in tankini style but has to be long!
Stephanie V. replied:

Stephanie V. replied:
Breakout bras is great. Shipping is free if it doesn't fit you just have to pay shipping to return it.
