    It seems that I am a 36FF :( I feel like a freak, can't get clothes to fit me properly (weird shape: big bust, little waist, big hips so nothing fits me.

    It's called curvy. ;)

    I'm the same, 32E, small waist, big hips.

    Don't try and cover them up in baggy tops, be proud of what you have. :)

    V necks are a golden rule for ladies with a large chest :D

  • Hi - I agree with anyone who recommends bravissimo - I've used them for years, and have encouraged my daughter - only 20 and a G cup. Apart from anything else you can shop online and return any unwanted bras free, and have replacements sent free. I found M&S useless for measuring. Most good shops will let you try on - find something that fits & stick with it!

    30G here! After years of poor fitting from M&S (at the last one they tried to tell me I was a 36A!!!!), I went to Bravissimo... Never looked back.

    IMHO, M&S are crap for large bra's - they just scale up there smaller ones, so they actually do not give proper support. Best places have to be bravissimo, figleaves and Rigby and Peller...

    Good luck with the hunt!

    32 GG - spent years as a 34FF as frankly no-one stocked anything much bigger... went to bravissimo and got them to fit me and like magic I am a 32GG and the bra's actually fit! Not cheap :( but much better for my back!

    32E.

    Finding it really difficult to buy clothes at the moment :(

    Even strappy tops, for example, will sometimes have a join which is supposed to sit underneath your breasts, but if you're larger chested, the join ends up on your nipple and thus the top looks really really stupid.

    Being a MSEr, I don't want to spend a fortune when it's not necessary. Investing in bras is a must, can't cut back on that, but surely I should be able to buy cheapy clothes on the high street? No...?

    i know what you mean about the strappy tops. it's annoying, isn't it?
    i'm also a 32E. Rather than spend a fortune at Bravissimo and R & P, i go to the department stores and look out for reduced Freya/Fantasie/Panache/Berlei bras in my size. sometimes you can get them for as little as £7, then.
    they will usually be in last season's colours, but that's not too much of a problem.
    the only bra i spent over £25 on was a strapless, moulded cup bra which i needed for a certain dress. it was a Fantasie one and it's lasted several washes and still looks and feels like new.
  • I'm a 34F, no hips, small (but wobbly) tummy. I look like a lollypop!
    I've tried Debenhams, Bravissimo, M&S and never have found supportive bra's that also push the up&out till I got Katie Price's T-shirt bras. They are AMAZING! comfy, sexy and hold them in 1 place. I can now buy scoop neck tops etc& I am over the moon. Would recommend 2 every1!

    Only problem is getting hold of them, Freemans do them but they take a month to come, Bikini's 2 months + and I don't have an Asda near its miles away & every time I go they don't have my size!
    I'm getting older, and lifes getting harder!:mad:

    here's one in 36H and 36J - not sure which would be best, but if you can get to a bravissimo and try it on, then you'd be sure. couldn't find anything on brastop, simplyyours or figleaves though)

    Try Ennell. Expensive, but very good reviews, or so I'm told. I keep meaning to get one.
