People, I have a mission on my hands! I must find a comfortable bra!! I can't bring myself to buy another bra that hurts and doesn't fit well. I WON'T!
Largely endowed women have few options in the world. I gave up on pretty bras a long time ago, I can deal with that. What I can't deal with is finding something close to comfortable! After four fittings in the last 6 months, I'm throwing in the towel on every retail lingerie department. I'm in for over $150 and all I have to show for it is severe chaffing!
Part of this challenge is to accept my body just as it is. It's imperfect and I guess pretty hard to fit. One of my breasts is quite a bit larger then the other. When did this happen? Sometime around 40, I suppose I didn't really notice until recently. I'm checking with my Mom and Sisters to find out if I'm the only one. Perhaps it's hereditary.
I read that 8 out of 10 women are wearing the wrong bra size. In my fittings I have been put in a 34DD all the way to a 38DDD. I'm definitely not a 38DDD although the big left one enjoyed the DDD! HAHA! How frustrating, there's no standard bra out there with two different cup sizes. I need something custom made just for me. I hope I can find it.
Wish me luck!

What retail stores are you being fitted at? It sounds like you are going to the wrong places.
I go to Zovo Langerie, never had a better fitting bra. They're really helpful and carry all the bigger sizes. :)
Barb - Macy's and Nordstrom. Two very trusted names in the lingerie business. Palindrome - I'm on it!
Thanks Girls!
Go to a specialiazed lingerie store... a higher end store and they will size you correctly. Try Belle Fleur in Seattle... they will get you set up!
