You should see the stores here in the UK - there is an insanely large range of styles and, as my wife will attest, almost none of them in the size you are looking for.<br />My approach, for what it's worth, is to go for basic 'tee-shirt' bras from Tesco since they are cheap, well made and have some cup support to define the basic shape. I took a while to figure out that I was buying them way too tight - but having got the size I like I can now buy more expensive items with a degree of confidence.<br />As for the extra padding you mention - I find good quality upholstery foam popped into a wig cap to be the best.Penny Clarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00315591810237504099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3383236105308499589.post-67516522602155138052012-04-17T09:18:06.739-04:002012-04-17T09:18:06.739-04:00Meg:

You should check out the on line catalog's fitting guides to better understand how band and cup sizes are determined and vary in relation to a change of either. A good site (that also has many bras to choose from) is HerRoom: http://www.herroom.com/bra-fitting-advice,901,30.html. Can't shop there enough! <br /><br />Generally, the shoulder straps should support the weight of the breasts (glue them on some time with Hollister's medical adhesive #7730 for a sublime change of pace), and the band should be snug, but without pressing into the flesh to create bulges. Many women are in the wrong bra size because of improper fitting and never adjusting for changes in body. <br /><br />By the way, the best feature of HerRoom.com is the ability to overlay different necklines and strap configurations over every bra type to get a good idea of coverage. It's excellent. Midnight shopping sprees are easy with them!<br /><br />Regards,<br /><br />Rhonda DarlingAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3383236105308499589.post-36962312169801116122012-04-17T08:46:14.847-04:002012-04-17T08:46:14.847-04:00Meg,

Over the years I have used multiple approaches to create breasts. I also have some great forms from Glamour boutique but continue tweaking the top to achieve the proper form under each outfit.<br /> <br />Like you, and like pantyhose, 'one size fits all' is a misnomer regarding my breasts.<br /><br />Patscalesmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07405121500560615820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3383236105308499589.post-83534839215100695902012-04-17T08:09:53.260-04:002012-04-17T08:09:53.260-04:00Good ideas... thank you for sharing...Good ideas... thank you for sharing...Wendygrrlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12306304260351328270noreply@blogger.com
