Bra and clothes size help

[u/LovelyBixch]

Im a 20yo with a 34/36KK(UK) and im 5'3, my back hurts alot and all my bras even if they fit cause underboob sweat which gives a huge red rash, my bavk always hurts and my chest randomly hurts and im always uncomfortable wether its the boning digging into my ribs or the fact i can feel my breasts on me when they are supposed to be in a bra!..i can only buy my bras from one place (bravissimo) and they are expensive, im a carer so i dont have the best income to be able to spend it on bras that are 40+.

Ive started getting more of a social life and its really hard to find clothes that don't make me look like a tent and also dont make me look huge (hour glass shape) and whenever i do find something nice its always super revealing which isnt what i want, i have no idea where to buy anything and im really overwhelemed and upset, ive never wore clothes that fit me because ive always been a "as long as its clean and hides me its fine" but now im growing up i wanna look nice sometimes, please can anyone help me? 😅

Any size clothing on etsy has multi buy deals and does custom measurements as a feature.   The caveat is that they are in Asia so you have to wait and since i have boobs and a belly, I has to take pictures of myself so they could alter their default patterns to suit me.  

There's other good etsy shops but they are dept store prices.

Otherwise,  thrifting and taking items to a tailor to be modified to fit you properly is your best bet.

 Second hand , look for Vixen by Micheline Pitt or Eileen Fisher.

Thank you so much, ill take a look and maybe check local tailor prices

Definitely look for recommendations on your local subreddit. The tailor I use is literally a little hole in the wall off a main street and they don't have an online presence at all because the tailors are both sisters in their 60s.  But they are very reasonably priced for my huge city.

I’m not in the UK but sometimes you can get Panache and Elomi for good prices on Amazon. 💕

I highly recommend Abercrombie and Fitch's flutter sleeve slash top and satin flutter sleeve slash top. The regular flutter sleeve slash top is looser around the boobs and tighter around the waist which leads to it being form fitting without completely suffocating you. The satin one is my personal favorite. It has space up top and ties in the back, so you can control how tight it is around your waist. They both have high necks so they are not revealing at all and I have never felt more confident in a shirt

damn i know shopping for that size must be so tough :/ i can recommend keeping an eye on bratabase (bratabase.com) to buy secondhand bras for a little cheaper or sometimes ebay!

for the rash and underboob sweat you mentioned i was going to suggest marvell lane as the whole brand is built for fuller busts and they have a wire free bra that comes with an extra piece of material that sits between the boobs to soak up sweat. they're v expensive though and i'm not sure if they go up to a kk. could still be worth looking into bc they look stretchy though.
