Where is a good place to buy plus-size bras?

Question

I wear a 38DD and would like a good quality bra which closes in the front. Victoria's Secret isn't an option; I've tried their bras and don't like the quality. The underwire on VS bras always breaks or pokes out of the fabric.

I'm serious about this and don't need any joke answers. I'm becoming discouraged about finding the right one.

Answer 1

Hey, I buy my Glamorise Bras from Lane Bryant or Roamans catalogs on-line. Glamorise.com has their own website and you can get closures in front and no wires underneath but with plenty of lift and with no pain in the shoulders. Great news as I have shared it with many large busted women who have similar trouble finding a great fit with no pain or rash.

Answer 2

Try writing the manufacturers direct. Especially Carnival Creations and Playtex. They all have websites were you can view the bra and even buy from the site. The sites also give you information in regards to how to measure yourself correctly as well. So many young women measure themselves incorrectly and wind up buying a bra that is too tight or otherwise does not fit. You can tell a misfitted bra by looking at the back of the women. If it looks like it is digging into the skin or there are gathers in the back strap, then the bra is missfitted.

A proper fitting bra will not only provide you with more comfort, but it will accentuate the postives if you understand my meaning.

If you can afford it, Fredericks of Hollywood has larger bras for when you go out.
Victorias Secret also sells that Secret Embrace that's excellent no matter what size. IT's real "cooshy" and comfortable..have you had a chance to try it on??
If you have the patience, Marshalls, Target, and Value City are okay if you have time to look through them all, and also if you're strapped for cash.
Also, try a VW outlet....they usually have a lot of larger sized bras...(I've shopped there and there are always tons!)

Answer 4

Go to a nice lingerie store; lots carry bigger sizes as well. Get properly fit for your bra! You may spend up to $100 for a bra, but it is so worth it, and the expensive ones do last longer than cheap brands do, especially if you take care of them.

Answer 5

Just my size from Wal-mart should do.I wear a 40DD and The wires always come out of mine.But if you get Just my size bra you can get a wireless one Its shaped like a underwire but it doesn`t have one in it.And there great.

Answer 6

first of all... go get a true measurement from Dillards.
you can try on all their bras & get expert advice

maybe buy one there [expensive]
then look on ebay for that brand & the size they fitted you with.
you will be soooo happy you did!
you'll get the same bra for pennies on the dollar on eBay.

also... being a 36DD myself... i often find nice expensive bras at TJ Maxx for as little as $4.99.

i know your pain!
good luck!

by the way... VS never worked for me either!
Cheap Junky quality! [just pretty]
