Who else is a 34DD

[MrsWaves]

I thought if I lost weight the bra size would goback down to a nice 36C (as I once was) but noooope. I'm still a 38DD or oddly a 40D in some bras. I've tried VS's, Nordstrom, Target.. everywhere. No dice. I'm getting ready to check out some of those links posted above though

your band size shouldn't go up that drastically, granted some bras run small/large in the band, but if you don't mind my asking, what is your ribcage right (where the bra-band should hit, all the way around keeping your measuring tape level) measurement? you can PM me with the information if you like. If you lost weight, and you lost dimension of your torso in any manner, it's unlikely that your band-size stayed the same.

Their sizing does run a bit small in the band, so I wear a 34 in their bras instead of a 32, though I could wear a 32 just as easily, as any bra band will stretch out over time.

THANKS!

I've felt your pain ladies

I know pregnancy & nursing is a different story, but it's still hard luck to go from 34C to 40DD. I was 40DD for about 2 years of my life (nursed 2 kids...) and I'm barely 5'0" and weighed 120 or less. It sucks. I've gone back to my regular 34-36C (depending on the bra of course...meh.) so I'm thankful, but I can kind of sympathize cause a 40DD filled with milk weighs about 10lbs I swear lol! Anyway, I'm sending all of you guys good vibes to find something comfortable!!

I am a 32DD (equivalent to E), and I love Chantelle Bras. They are supportive, wear very very well, and give a nice shape without being matronly. You can get them in high end dept stores and online. They are well worth the $$ you'd spend since you wear a bra every day!

Those are good ones, depending on breast shape and density. Average density breasts are best for chantelle bras.

I didnt read thru the whole thread, but I have found out from VS that they are getting DD's BACK!!! They are to get them within this month!!!

I'm a 38DD, a size 14/16 and its a pain in the ASS to find good bras. I usually stick with Lane Bryant...but sometimes I want something ubber sexy and that's hard to find!

I'm hoping to try the new IPex bra from VS once they get DD's in now....

I'd love to be a 34DD... I'm a 38J and it's almost impossible to find any bras to fit, never mind nice ones! And the boning and underwires are so industrial and uncomfortable

I am a 38DDD and I get my bras from Jcpenney's. I love those ones with the "spa" straps. I think Bali makes them.
