New topic...

 Bras weren't such a headache for about 4 months... I was finally in a size that I could pick up at Lane Giant with no problems... however, having to size down to a smaller band size every 6 weeks is getting expensive and now I no longer fit into the Cacique bras.  My trouble is that I still need a DDD cup, but am in a 34 band.  Who carries a 34DDD???  NOBODY!  I've been searching all over online, and can't find anything.  I even resorted to sewing a bra extender into my old bra so that I have extra rows of hooks further in so I can make it tighter.  Sadly, this solution isn't going to work for much longer.  The other issue I'm finding with bras is that "full coverage" is a joke.  I can't find anything that's not a "balconette" style, and with all this flappy skin, well, cleavage is not attractive!  Everything bubbles over the top no matter what.   ugh.

On the other hand... going from a 48DDD to a 34DDD in 7 months is NOTHING to complain about... I just need to find somewhere that carries the size I need.

As for the undies, I am liking the fruit of the loom cotton bikinis.  Minimal wedgies, until it's time to downsize again.

Other than that, shopping is actually almost becoming fun for the first time EVER.  Although the difference between "Misses" and "Juniors" confuses me sometimes, because things aren't always marked...  And I honestly have no idea what is flattering to my figure... I still see myself in my head at that 265 lbs.  Almost 100 pounds ago.  I need someone to be my Stacy and Clinton, I think.

I sell Avon and they have some Playtex Bra's... they have a 38DDD, but not a 34.... Maybe if you go up one strap size and down one cup size???? Sometimes that works! 

sorry I wasn't much help!

 thanks for the suggestion, but no, that won't work.  I have some back issues thanks to my giant knockers, and I have to have a really snug band or otherwise my back is on FIRE.  That's actually how I know it's time for a new bra--that burning sensation between the shoulders.  Such a hassle.  Big boobs are soooo overrated!!

Plastics aren't in my budget (no insurance), so I am really hoping that my cup size will start to come down in proportion to the rest of me!  When PCH comes to my door with my million bucks, though... 

What about sewing darts into the cup size you have or closest to what you can get to your size? I am thinking about doing this,and I have like nothing compared to you lol I am in a 40 C from a 44C. The girls have fully retired and gone south

 LOL--you just gave me a mental image of "darts" sticking out --you know, like the kind you throw at a dartboard.  Or lawn darts!  Oh NO!!  Frightening.

Wouldn't sewing darts into the cup make the cup smaller?  I have the opposite problem--can't find a cup size big enough in proportion to the band size.  I've thought about sewing in the band itself, but I'm a pretty ****ty seamstress.  Right now I'm still wearing the 36 with an extender sewn into it so I can make it tighter, hopefully that will buy me some time.  My next step just might have to be duct tape!  Pack those girls in however I can!

Yeah I guess it would make the cup smaller LOL
I guess I have no answer or creative thoughts past duct tape either lol
Me- Soon I will be able to get by with two bottle caps for a bra. Or maybe those tassel things LOL

 Pasties.  I believe that's what those tassel thingies are called.  Now THERE's a thought, ha ha!!
