Bra sizes help?

Question

i want to order a nice bra online and i'm a 36E but they have run out of that size what would be the next best size to get?

they dont have a 38E either

Answer 1

Dont buy an alternative size. Not good for you... and definitely wont look very good!

Answer 2

Hi there, I am a 36E but can also wear a 38DD there is not alot of difference in the sizes have a look on the Simply Be website they have some great bras and there is a link on the homepage to another bra website and they will send catalogue,, another good place for bras is Bravisimo ( not sure its spelt right might have 2 s) they will send catalogue to,
hope this helps

Answer 3

Only get the size you wear. You should never get an alternative size because it's like buying a size 6 or 4 shoes when youre a size 5. If your bra is too small it is not good for your back, breasts etc but if it's too big you wont be supported properly. Only buy things that fit!

Answer 4

Do not buy a different sized bra - if you know for sure what your size is you stick with it, otherwise you not only don't look as good, but you can cause yourself back problems, stretch marks and sagging!

I have this issue being a 32E, places don't cater for people who are a UK size 8 but have a large bust. Try www.lasenza.co.uk for gorgeous bra's that go up to about a H cup I believe. They're great quality and not badly priced (Especially if you check out the sale section).

Answer 5

I am sorry but I really feel a good fitting bra is important and that youb should always try to get an exact fit. if I was having to get a different size I would go down a size as you can buy extenders to add to the around measurement but always get the right cup size. Have you though about trying somewhere else.

Answer 6

Most women don't wear the right size, you need to make sure you get the right one. Most women wear too big around, like I measured 38D, but actually, 36DDD is what I needed to lift and separate so my girls actually looked girlish instead of saggy and baggy. I measured around below my bust and took that size and just found a cup size that would hold the girls without exploding out the sides...Go get measured, there are stores that can help you measure if you aren't too sure, but don't settle for a wrong size. You can take off 5 or 10 pounds visually by wearing the right size...

Answer 7

It would be best to try and find another site to order from. The number is the circumference of your body and the letter is the cup size. Make sure you order something with a wider strap so that is does not dig into your shoulder. Also something that will have back support. With your cup size you have to be careful. Shoulder and back problems occur when you don't have enough support.

Answer 8

I have to say, if possible get the right size, even if it means waiting :-(

BUT if you're absolutely determined to get one now, this minute regardless then I believe the general rule of thumb is go up 1 back size and in one cup size, so it'd be a 38DD.

Personally I'd wait, or order a 36F and hope the cup sizes come up small.

Answer 9

Hi its always best to get the right size, i would go else where. Failing that you could go down a back size to a 34 (and use an extender if needed) if you go down a back size you should go up a cup size, so you would need a 34EE or 34F. Best of luck

Answer 10

change the cup size

try a DD or a G

the number doesnt really matter (at least not for me), its just the circumference of your chest. i can go anywhere from a 32-36 comfortably as long as the cup size is still B.

good luck!

Try a 38DD, but it is not going to look as good on you. Why don't you try another bra company. These all carry large sized bras:
