I don't fit into lane bryant bras anymore but love the full coverage that they provide. I have tried on at least 20 bras in belk and Victoria secret. I think I'm a 36/38 D/DD now I don't even really know... Plus there is some saggage there from the weight loss. Where do you full figured ladies get bras now?

I still love my Playtex 18 hour support.  Kohl's had a sale recently (as if they don't have one every week!) and I was able to get a new one for $15.00.  I've gone from a 44DD to a 40D

This bra, also at Kohls and at JCPenny, is my favorite!

It's full coverage. Comes with wire or no wire. And has BACK smoothing!

Barely Breezies is the more modern frilly line.

I also found that Walmart carries a wide range of sizes, in store and on-line.

Happy hunting

SOMA the Tee-Shirt bra.  Worth every penny.

I like the SOMA bras as well, they seem to last really well. They have one that is always 2/$60 but then I can often get a coupon on top of that so they come out to about $22.

Edit: You can go into Soma for a fitting and they are really helpful. Have gotten bras for $15 off clearance rack.

Why not get professionally measured instead of guessing your size? Getting measured at Victorias secret and guidance to try on different styles was a great experience for me.

I've grown to love Victoria secret. Their t shirt bra and another style I can think of. Then there is as style by vanity fair I like, illumination I think.

I'm down almost 100 pounds and today finally bought new underwear. They never fell down so I figured they "fit". Apparently I was just pulling them up higher cause I keep trying to pull the new ones higher out of habit.

I get mine at Dillard's. Brand name is Cabernet. You also might find you get fuller coverage by going to a later cup size as your band size decreases.

I still get my bras from lane Bryant. It may depend on what your local store carries but they do carry some size 36 and up. Mind you, not every style bra comes in that size but there are a few styles that I've found that are great.  I am not certain what the cup sizes go up to though . I am a 36 B or C depending upon the bra style I choose. I have met a wonderful woman who I call the "bra goddess" named Edith at local lb near me and she has fitted me for many bras there throughout my weight loss.  Again, it will depend on what the Lane Bryant you go to carries.  I am not sure what they have online  because I have to try everything on,  my boobs have a mind of their own, lol! Right now they have buy two get two free in certain styles. I suggest getting fitted for a bra if possible.   I personally was completely clueless before getting fitted for bras on what really fit me correctly . Funny thing is the Lane Bryant in Hoffman Estates carries size 12 in clothes but McHenry store carries 14/16.  But McHenry store does Carry smaller size bras.  I hope the bra shopping works out for you .
