Ordering bras online

[Shangri-laschild]

I'm going to have to start ordering my bras online as no one stocks size g in town. Anyone have any experience with ordering the online or able to recommend good sites or brands that tend to not ru small or big?

Try Frederick's of Hollywood.

I highly recommend them. Sure, a bit pricey, but sooooooooooooooo worth it!

Well, I like BareNecessities.com, as they're fairly cheap, but have the "weird" sizes...and I *believe* they have size G...you'd have to check though, I'm not sure. I just know they have 32DD.

My wife orders from Vicky's all the time. She likes the option to return or exchange at a physical store, although there has never been a problem to my knowledge. I don't know if they have your size though.

If you can find someplace that stocks bras in your size, even if they're not in your area, I would recommend making a trip. When you have one that you like, you can google the brand and order it in the same size. There also might be a place willing to special order bras for you. Is there a local (non-chain) shop in town? They might be more able to special order something for you. I love the local place I found. I don't even know my bra size, they just looked at me, listened to what I wanted, and brought me the perfect bra.

I've done a lot of ordering from figleaves.com, they have an amazing range of sizes and a pretty good return policy. Some of their stuff is a bit pricy but not all of it and sometimes they have killer sales.

I go to Victoria's Secret's online store. They seem to have pretty bras in odd sizes (34DD, which is super hard to find too.) Their bras seem to be nice, although I'm used to Walmart ones, so maybe that's not saying much. I can at least afford them though.

I loathe VS. With a passion usually reserved for the sun.

I have to order my nursing bras through her since I'm a g cup right now. She has cute ones, and reviews them herself. Her sale prices are good too.

If it wasn't all I could afford, I would rather shop somewhere else. However, I'm exceptionally poor, and their bras are fairly cheap.

I've bought from http://www.lasenza.co.uk/ and http://www.marksandspencer.com/ for my gf.

I'd be recommending Australian sites, which isn't all that useful to you.

When (not if) you find that a bra is not the right shape for you, email them with the problem (and perhaps a photograph of the problem). They can probably recommend a slightly different bra.

For example, when I changed shape, my 18G Fayreform Corals started poking me in the underarms. I went back to Lisa's Lacies (my local WONDERFUL odd-sizes bra shop), showed the staff what was wrong, and they brought me an 18G Fayreform Charlotte to try; and it was perfect.

Same brand, same size, different cut. It can make a huge difference, especially at our size.

(Before I changed shape, I'd tried the Charlottes and they were wrong for a reason I forget, and the Corals were perfect. Ah, the problems of losing weight....)

If there's any hope of finding a local shop, or even one it takes you a bit of travel to get to, I'd do that - get fitted properly, find a bra that fits you perfectly. Then you can special-order that one, or can email online places and say 'I need a sports bra. For my regular bra, the Fayreform Coral fits wonderfully - what would you recommend for a sports bra given that info?'

Anyway... good luck!

VS lets you return in store? I've never been able to, actually it says on the back of the packing slip that they do not do online returns/exchanges in store.

I know, right? I really hope that the place I get mine can alter the ones I have right now, I cannot afford to buy new bras every time I loose a few pounds.

I've had success ordering larger cup bras from England (Fantasie, Ulla Dessous.) The website I used to order from went out of business, but I've heard good things about http://www.amplebosom.com . Also, I have found that although I'm a G cup, I can wear Lane Bryant's Cacique soft cup bras in an F and they are VERY comfortable and supportive.

Also check ebay! I've purchased a few bras that way, usually at 1/2 the retail price.
