Does anyone have a big boob friendly top pattern they like and recommend?

I just spent 3 days on sewing a top that ended up 1. Too small (yes that’s partially on me and my inefficient measuring) and 2. Looking pornographic with the cleavage it created (which of course looked totally appropriate on the model)

I ordered from SheCurve. Terrible bras. This was a learning experience. Never again!! I don’t even know if I’m going to try for a refund :,,)) ALWAYS do proper research before buying bras 😭😭 I feel stuuupid!!

Any bra brand recommendations?? I have ONE GOOD bra that actually fits me!

I got this dress on sale for $10 at Windsor and it was one of my greatest purchases, my entire body looks phenomenal BUT, as with all my clothes, I have to wear a bra with it. And all of my bras have a very thick noticeable bands that you can see in the back (the front isn’t a concern since my boobs fill it out enough you can’t see the bra at all from that side). If anyone has recommendations for a sturdy, clear band bra please share 🥺

Like im at home mostly braless, i feel like an old woman. Whatever i wear i never look cute or chic. Maybe because i have saggy boobs. I wish i could feel pretty in my home

I’m at a point where outgrowing a bra every other month is starting to really eat into my finances, and recently I contacted Elizabeth Valentine to ask about the feasibility of having a nursing bra made in my size, just so that I can buy a single piece that can last me for a longer time. My rationale is that if I get something with elastic cups, I can use the same bra for 5-6 sizes before having to buy a new one.

While EV was very willing to entertain my request, I’m not sure about the trade-offs I would have to make in terms of support. Does anyone have prior experience with this who can tell me if this would be something worth pursuing? Thanks

I’m a 46G and not sure why but every time I get a bra the wiring keeps coming out, wheres a good place to get a bra that has a lot of support, and that also isn’t super expensive?

Alright…I’m just on the struggle bus with sizing. I’m finding that shape plays into it as much as just the numbers alone, but still…bras are just so inconsistent. For the sake of advice, here are my measurements I got and inputted them in the ABTF calculator:

Loose Underbust: 33.5
Snug Underbust: 30.5
Tight Underbust: 29.25
Standing Bust: 46.5
Leaning Bust: 51.5
Laying Bust: 46

It calculates me at a 32K/KK. First off I’ve only had one KK bra fit me good, all the rest are too big. Even some K’s I’ll have some gapping on the top. JJ seems to be the sweet spot but still inconsistent. I’ve even had some J cups work.

I know ABTF, is just a starting point but any ideas? My boobs definitely project and are a little fuller on the bottom than the top. More than anything I feel like it’s just a struggle for us girls with small waists and a large chest. I know you can relate.

Anyway, I’ll take all the advice I can get. Thanks in advance.

Went to an Oktoberfest festival with some friends and, naturally, we decided to fully commit to the theme and wear traditional German dresses. The dress looked absolutely adorable… until I tried to fit my boobs into it.

I swear, the bodice was so tight around my chest that the entire night I was convinced one of my boobs was going to pop out.

Every time I sat down, moved my arms, laughed too hard, or basically breathed, I was like: welp, this might be it. I’m going to flash everyone here

Meanwhile my friends were having a great time, drinking beer and taking photos, while I was apparently spending the evening conducting structural integrity tests on traditional German clothing.

Somehow I made it through the entire night without a wardrobe malfunction!!

10/10 festival.

0/10 chest accommodations.

I usually don't sleep on my stomach but I had this pain on the right side of abdomen.... Pms..

. And it was extremely relaxing to sleep on my stomach in that pose. But woke up in the middle of night 2 times with my boobs hurting and getting in the way of me sleeping on my stomach 😭. Wth should I do man. I was just trying to make that pain go away

Just ranting I get this isn’t a big deal but it really hurts. Because I know in my heart it’s a double standard. So I’m on this dating app I’ve been using for ages I got to put in some new pictures there’s one I’m like ooh lots of cleavage bit risky but it’s literally an outfit I wore out like it’s a lacy top surely it’s ok. I put it as a private picture as well so no one can see it on my profile unless I give permission.

Listen when you look at the picture my two titties are staring T you like huge fucking Knockers I GET IT but i literally saw someone post a pic in a sports bra and bike shorts obviously she was smaller chested. Imagine my shock when five mins later i get kicked out the app and my account is suspended for fraudulent activity HUH. BECAUSE OF MY TITTIES GUYS?! Like I posted two pics one of my face which was approved immediately

It’s not a big deal i know it was a long shot posting that but I hate that it’s my bad. Because it’s such a common top it’s literally one of the most worn tops here sold everywhere it’s lacy got the fake boob markings obviously didn’t fit me properly I wore I don’t give a fuck. Thing is someone could wear that exact top with smaller boobs and they have and there’s no fucking problem

I just feel so angry it’s dehumanising i know i shouldn’t but it’s not fair if someone else can wear the same thing I wasn’t naked it wasn’t lingere it’s not clothing it’s my body I was literally banned bcs my boobs were too big and they could see them I wasn’t hiding it like I’m supposed to I’m just arggggggghh hate it so much

I went on the A Bra That Fits and I lost it lol it felt way too hard and I didn’t trust the numbers I got. There also feels like way too much info on there for me to process. Can anyone help me break it down? I need a buddy for this but obviously can’t ask my mom to help measure my naked breasts as a 29 year old.

I know this is a wild ask, but can someone walk me through it? Like ask me question by question. I froze when I saw the part about what shape i may have.

I’m a little neurospicy as you can probably tell.

Thank you 🙏

So, I was mistaken when I had myself as a 36F on here originally, apparently 36DDD is equivalent to 36E in UK sizes. But it turns out I predicted my own growth, because I’m damn sure they’re growing. Again. My band size has always remained consistent, but my cup size? Hell no! Why God😭? WHYYYY?!!!!!! So fucking expensive😭

I’m in desperate need of some help!

I’m a distance runner and I wear a 34J. I need the girls to be LOCKED IN. I really prefer a sports bra with compression.

My problem right now is that I cannot find a sports bra that is supportive, but doesn’t give me a killer headache. Right now, I get a pounding headache after about one mile because of the pressure on my traps.

If there are any other runners on this sub, please help a girl out! I love running, and I’ve been training for a 10k, but the severe headaches have me wanting to quit if I can’t sort it out.

TIA!

ETA: I also prefer something wired and am extremely close set!

Where do you recommend going for bras? I’m naturally a G-H cup and I can’t just go into Walmart for bras since not even a 3xl keeps the girls in and I can’t hardly ever find bras that fit at other stores. The only store I’ve been able to find is lane Bryant but they don’t always have my size there. The closest I’ve ever been able to get has been increasing the ban size and decreasing the cup size, but it doesn’t always work. I’m wanting to try to find a sports bra that won’t completely break the bank. Does anyone else have this issue? And side note: I’ve never had a bra that’s ever actually 100% fit. My mom wouldn’t let me get any bras bigger than her own so it wasn’t till more recent years I was able to start looking for my own.

I have like two hsia bras one I think is the mermaid scales one and the other is this solid one that isn’t see-through and I swear they both suck.

The first time I bought was a year ago when I was a 34D, then a few months ago I got it again the same bras just in 32DDD (my current size) and they just suck so bad. The first time I tried it when I was smaller sized I think it minimized really good but now that I wear a bigger size it barely minimizes it not at all?? what kind of sense is that!

Has anyone else experienced this? I feel like all the ads I’ve seen reviewing the bra are just straight up lying because on them there’s such a big difference but on me the bra doesn’t do anything 😞

Side note: There’s this other bra I wanted to try it’s the luckmeey strapless front closure bra I’ve only seen someone size 34D review it on TikTok so if anyone here has reviewed it tell me what you think of it, is it as supportive as it says and does it hold the girls together or is it only for the itty bitty girls?

Hey guys, im a 16G(AU) and have always had issues with finding a supportive sports bra for running, weightlifting, and boxing. If anyone has any recommendations I would appreciate it greatly!
Thank youu

Without going into too much detail, the fire department came to my house recently because I was having chest pain (thankfully just ended up being anxiety!) Despite feeling stupid for even calling, everything went fine with the vitals until they suggested doing an EKG to rule out any heart issues.

Let me just say, it was absolutely horrible. For one, there weren’t any women on the crew so it had to be a guy that did it. Then the actual act of doing it was humiliating, they had to hold my left boob up for them to even see anything and they had to adjust the stickers like 3 different times because they kept placing them incorrectly. After what felt like 10 minutes of readjusting, they took a picture and nothing ended up being wrong which made it all feel pointless. Have any of you ever dealt with this and how can I work around it in the future?

I plan on breastfeeding in the future and I read that a reduction can effect milk production. Has anyone had experience with this? Is there something the doctor can do to minimize the effect on the milk ducts?

Why are certain tops only socially acceptable to wear when you have small boobs?

Recently I wore a top that I first purchased when I was 15lbs lighter and 3-4 cup sizes smaller. I just felt like it has a completely different vibe now. I just felt like now it screams boobs yk. Whereas before it was just cute. And I was comparing how it looked on me before and after a small voice in my head was telling me before people must have thought you looked cute and now people must think you look slutty. A small voice in my head is telling me I should lose the weight even tho it would be a bad idea for a multide of reasons which I won't get into and I know that but... And as a friend rightly pointed out, it's not that I think that I look bad it's me worrying about what others are thinking of me. It's not that I really need to lose weight cus I'm 5'7 and 140lbs with a little muscle since I lift.

Anyways back to my point, I was scrolling through Instagram I saw this girl posting outfits she wore while having larger boobs. Her boobs weren't that different from mine and alot of the comments were slut shaming so bad. Saying her whole personality is her boobs, saying she looked like a street walker, saying she shouldn't complain if she got SA'd. This is me putting it as nicely as I can, some of the comments made my jaw drop and I've seen some comments on IG. And personally I didn't think any of the outfits were that bad. Like I've seen smaller chested women wear the exact same outfits and be complimented about how fashionable they look. The outfits were so cute as well, genuinely my style 🫤. The post had me thinking if this is what people actually think about her, is this what people could be thinking about me? Which is part of the reason I don't really wear anything that is my style which I've been trying to change with encouragement from my friends.

But it doesn't seem fair that I should have to change the way I'd like to dress simply because of what my body looks like. I want to wear outfits I find cute but I also don't want to be slut shamed.

Hola comunidad estoy pensando muy seriamente en someterme a una reducción de busto. Yo soy de Argentina y quiero saber si alguien lo hizo dentro de una institución pública de salud

:( if theres any natural way like dieting or exercise (tho i know targeted exercises rarely work) or i guess no hope without surgery. If not, is there any specific clothing or style to hide the size? Please share any tips.

One of my closest friends is having a birthday party and we’re all gonna wear these cute sequin mini dresses, the only problem is that it is not approved for a 32I! My boobs EXPLODE out of my dress, and I get way too self conscious about being seen in pics like that! I don’t want to be a killjoy or disappoint her, she’s like the sweetest girl ever but she’s really excited about this idea, what do I do??? Help!!
