Large Bra Fitting at the Lingerie Store


At the moment it seems that well endowed women need to look very thoroughly for a shop that sells large bras.

With your rough indication if you measured yourself, you can check whether the shop will have the size you need. The fitting assistant should offer you a range of different and nice looking bras. Give her a fair chance to sell you something, but do not be too polite either. A good large bra can make your day for months to come; a bad one will ruin it all.

Know when to bail out: The assistant offers you a nice looking bra, it is only a few sizes off? Does your helper look dismayed, the shop might not offer your size. Does she tell you how lovely a bra looks on you, while it obviously does not fit? Has the assistant disappeared after only offering you three different bras? It is time to go.

When you find your lingerie shop, you will most likely notice that you prefer one brand above the others. That is good, stick with it for this shopping session. Every brand sizes its bras slightly different; changing brands constantly will drive you nuts.



Large Bra Measuring and Fitting Guide


Finding your bra size

Every woman is unique, we all have different proportions and finding a bra is a task. Hopefully you will find this guide useful.

A. Measure at home

This sounds logical, measure and you will know. When your wrap the measuring lint around your chest and under breasts, you find the Band Size. Table 1 shows you the correlating European and British band size numbers.

The next step is to take the lint again and place it over your breast. The number you get relates to the Bust Size, you need this to determine your cup size,  in Table 2.

Let’s take my measurements for example. My Band Size is 82 cm and my Bust Size is 103 cm. When I look at table 1 my Band Size should be 36 in UK or 80 in EU size. The difference between my Band Size and Bust Size is 21 cm. With that I can see in table 2 that my cup size is a DD in the UK/AU or an E in the EU/CA/US size.

The reasons why some disapprove of measuring for bra size, is because every brand sits differently and sizes per brand vary. This is also correct in my case; I should have a 36DD or 80D, but my recent bra that fits me perfectly is an 80F. One cup size to big according to table 2.

Take your measurement for a rough indication. It is a starting point for you and the shop assistant. The next section will advice you what to look for and fine-tune your choice.

B. Fitting bras in the shop

Now comes the hard part, going into a lingerie store and ask advice from a total stranger on your most personal assets.

First we start with the Band Size; we will focus on cup size later. There are two points you have to look for. How does the big band sit on our back and how do the wires or cloth sit between your breasts.

The band size can be a bit smaller or larger than what you measured. The band should sit snug around your chest.  If it sits too tight, it will hurt you and you might find it hard to breathe. The most common mistake though is to buy a bra with a too big a band size. A too big band forms a curve on your back and if you buy this bra, it will rise higher and higher on your back in time. Closing the bra on the first hooks, you should only be able to pull the band back two to three inches (5 to 8 cm) form you back. The band should sit horizontal on your back.

The second point to look at is down between your breasts. The cloth or wires should lay flat against the skin between your breasts. This can be tricky, because if you would wear an A-cup bra, the wires or cloth will never reach between your breasts.  If you want to make absolutely sure you have the right band size, start trying bras with a too big a cup size. Remember that 80% of the bra support comes form the Band; the straps are only for lifting your breasts. The next step is to look for the right cup size.

Mostly you will try a bra where the cup size is too small. The wires are poking into your breast tissue on the sides, or the bra is overflowing at the top or at the bottom. If the wires do not lie upon your skin between your breasts, this can also indicate that the cup is too small. The wires should follow the line between your breast and your chest. If the cup is too big the cloth will wrinkle at the sides of the cups. A good bra does not cut into your skin at the cup, but also not at your shoulders.

When you have found the perfect large bra, you should feel a nice lift. You can decide to buy the bra. Or if you do not like the style, remember the brand and your size and come back another time. A perfect sitting large bra makes you feel free, sexy, and feminine; it feels like you lift your breasts hands free. You are less self conscious and less aware of your bra. When you find Your Perfect Large Bra, you should have that Eureka feeling, you do not have to go for anything less.
