The size of the bra that I wear that fits me best is a 36DDD. The only problem with it is that my breasts to spill out of it a little bit. 2. Current measurements are 36, 35, 42 3. I am looking for a bra with a lot of support and that has underwire. No padding. Plain/pretty does not matter to me, I just want something that fits really well 4. My baby is 6 weeks old Hi!

Currently wearing 34C Victoria's Secret "Tshirt bra" as my best fitting / most comfortable bra. It's an underwire, very lightly lined bra with thin straps and a deep V neckline. It fits pretty good still, but the band is starting to get a little tight and I've had to move it to the largest setting, where it is overall comfortable for now (usually I wear my bras on the furthest in setting). The cups are now FULL but not spilling over. I tend to be a little NOT full in the cup part when not pregnant but the B cup is TOO full so I live with the mostly full C cup! :) 2. 33, 30, 35 3. Type of bra. I like bras that are lightly lined b/c I don't like nipple showing through my clothing. VERY lightly padded is okay too. While lacy bras are gorgeous, I dislike how you can see the lace through clothing, so I prefer a SMOOTH top layer so my clothing lies flat. Light to medium support is fine. I'm pretty small so I don't require lots of "uplift" :) I like black and nude and other colors (white is okay but tends to show under light clothing). Patterns are fun but also show under clothing so while I'll wear them, they aren't as economical for me to buy. 4. YES, currently 6 months pregnant, due July 29 :) 5. Bra size has not changed TOO much this pregnancy. Last pregnancy it changed more when I started nursing and then just cup size ... I wore D cup for a good 6-9 months while nursing, but still 34 band.

I think you may have taken your measurements incorrectly. Would you mind taking them again? The instructions are below. As soon as I hear back from you, I will send you your customized Virtual Bra Fitting. I tried to email you, but your email bounced back as undeliverable. Please give me your correct email when you reply as well (you can reach me at judy at mothersboutique dot com) To Take Your measurements: to get them you will need to take three measurements with a flexible measuring tape (the kind that a tailor uses (not the stiff kind that are used by handymen!). Then get someone to help you take your measurements (it is always easiest if someone can help you). To take your measurements, take off your shirt and make sure you have your best fitting bra on. Make sure that the bra isn't tight in the cups so that you are able to get an accurate measurement. - 1st measurement: hold the measuring tape around your body, but ABOVE your breasts, keep the measuring tape parallel to the floor. The tape should be SNUG around you when you take this measurement. - 2nd measurement: take the same measurement as described above, but this time move the tape so that it is directly UNDER your breasts, keep the measuring tape parallel to the floor. The tape should be SNUG around you when you take this measurement. - 3rd measurement: hold the measuring tape around your body over the largest part of your breasts (make sure you have a bra on). This measurement should be a fitted, but loose measurement. Thanks! Judy Hi Courtney,

I am currently wearing the Elomi Smoothing Seamless Underwire bra in 34H. Besides it not fitting, it's the *PERFECT* bra for me. I am sooooo sad it doesn't come in a larger cup size. I am spilling out of the cups in the front (my boobs are very full in the front/center), where the flap fabric comes up and overlaps the cup in the front bulges creating a line, the gore does not lay flat on my chest, and back rides up. It does offer enough support. 2. 1st measurement: 36 2nd measurement: 32 3rd measurement: 42 3. I am looking for support mainly, due to my size! I have been wearing UK sizes for a long time because I haven't had luck finding any US sizes that fit. I require an underwire, I'm just too busty to not have one. I would consider one without for around the house, but I really need underwire for out and about. I prefer a smooth cup. Before I got pregnant, I wore the Fantasie smooth cup balcony bra (no padding) in a 34G and it was the *perfect* bra. I prefer a bra that doesn't come up high in the center because of the shape of my boobs. Balconette style is best for my shape. 4. My baby is 9 months. The boobs are done growing and changing, so now I just need some good, long term options. This current bra just is NOT cutting it anymore! :-) 1.
