Bras for women with big 'uns sometimes look armor-plated, and that’s not so sexy. Look around, and maybe you can find some that look lacy and not riveted.
I’ll be keeping my eye on this thread. Thanks for starting it.
The only bra that I bought on line was made by Tatiana and even though it is beautiful, it still has its tag on it because it’s not the size that it’s supposed to be. But, one day I am going to wear it.
edited to make the websites not clickable by putting in a “space” after www… there has got to be an easier way!
Yeah, thanks, I’ve bought a couple of those bras from bare necessities. I guess what I’m running up against is finding plus size bras that can be worn with attractive plus size clothing from places such as Zaftique.com
Somehow the necklines never match. The closest that I have found is to wear a Bra6 or whatever it’s called from Lane Bryant. Unfortunately, they only go up to 44DDD, so it is extremely uncomfortable to wear for too long.
I’ve never heard of Tatiana, I’ll have to check it out.
Freya- well made, great support, good range- something to suit everyone from basics to completely mad styles (e.g. hot pink and orange), all in big cup sizes (usually up to a G at least).
Fantasie A bit older, more sophisitaced than Feya, still great quality, nice basics, good fit, big sizes.
Elle McPherson Intimates- although I get 32DD from this range because the back size is small fitting, and these aren’t my everday bras, so I don’t really worry about support.
Vanjo- beautiful quality, nice lingerie for special occasions, C-FF cup sizes.
I think the biggest back size for most of those companies is a 42, and personally I’m not sure where to get nice plus-sized bras.
Figleaves is my favourite online bra shop, and most of their 48E bras are by Goddess, which seems to have a good range of styles and sizes, although I can’t personally comment on the fit, quality or cost-effectiveness!
bravissimo.com is great and has a range of styles. Fabulous for Britdopers (not sure they’d ship elsewhere). My only annoyance is they tend to be for larger cup sizes yet their clothes and knicks are sized towards average sizes.
For really big ones, the cups should be painted to look like MadBalls or giant bloodshot eyeballs (think “Rat Fink” here). That’s my call for a return to sexy!
It occurs to me that, for the sake of my own sense of dignity, I need to point out the following: I do NOT own the bra that I linked to. Yes, the girls need serious support, but there are lines I will not cross.
