where can i find a good bra? for plus size?
Emily,
When I was pre-op I had to get the largest band size I could which is 52 and then I got an extender from the sewing department at Walmart that gives you another 3 inches- you can use more than one. Now if it is cup size you are needing, Online is best.
I was a 52 plus 3 inch extender cup size D and now I can fit a 44 C (sometimes D depending on the style)

Emily,
Definitely ask the ladies at Lane Bryant to measure you so you are wearing the right size. Their bras arent cheap, but if you got one and then knew what your true size was, then you can find those sizes in other stores. I have found really nice bras for cheap prices at Marshall's, Ross, Beall's, TJMaxx, etc. Also, JCPenny's, Sears and other large dept stores all carry full sizes too these days. A good fitting bra definitely makes my back and shoulders feel better. Good luck, Girlie!
I always buy them at Lane Bryant.. they can be a little expensive, but they always have one that fits right. The Avenue carries good ones too. Queen Latifah has her own line of intimates called Curvation. Check out www.curvation.com for a store near you. I know they're sold at some Walmart stores. Good Luck!

Hi Em
,
Look in the yellow pages or internet and serch for a bra specialist store. They have "Corsetieres" who fit you. They will even take out bones or stitch over an area that hurts. Their bra's are a little more costly but look at the individual attention you get. Then you can get the size you need in Walmart or another place. Just remember that not every style will fit in you size!
Hope this helped
