If you’re like many women, after having your first child, you might have crammed your now fuller breasts into the same bras you wore pre-baby. I can confidently say there were a few years where I was completely clueless about my bra size.
Fortunately, a move to a new town led me to an amazing store that was half children’s toys and half women’s clothing, shoes, and accessories. Every weekend, they host a “bra fit specialist.” Can you believe such a role exists?
This magical expert, named Sarah, entered the dressing room with her tape measure and transformed my understanding of bra fitting. She informed me that I was a 38F, a size I had never even heard of before. It turns out that depending on the style and brand, my size can vary—sometimes I’m a 38DD, and other times a 38F. Who knew?
I ended up purchasing three wonderful bras, and my figure had never looked better. Afterward, Sarah and I shared a laugh over drinks, as one does with a newfound bra fitting friend.
After seeing a recent article we wrote about a bra that caters to larger sizes, Sarah reached out to me to share some recommendations straight from her expert knowledge. Here’s a pro tip: If you’re unsure about your bra size, seek out a fitting expert in your area. It can truly be life-changing.
Recommended Bras for Larger Busts
- Wacoal “Lace Affair”: Available in band sizes 32-38 and cup sizes B-G, priced at $56. I own this one and can vouch for its comfort. Unfortunately, bra companies don’t often showcase how these styles look on larger busts, and I’m not quite brave enough to share my own photo.
- Natori Pure Lux: Comes in band sizes 32-38 and cup sizes B-G, retailing for $72. This bra is all about comfort, especially the straps, which are a delight.
