blondeviolin Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 It needs to be for some fairly substantial novels too. But not much circumference. Any suggestions on a brick and mortar store where I could pick up a 34F? Sometimes I can make a 36DD work...but only if it's got some good clasps in the back.

VaKim Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Just commiserating with you. And hoping you get some great suggestions. We have no stores anywhere near that carry such things, and ordering online is not gonna happen, as I detest having to send things back.

NicksMama-Zack's Mama Too Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 I used to buy 36Dr bra's at Kohls and they never fit quite right. I went and got fitted at a bra store and finally found a few brands that fit me like a glove. Truly lifts and separates! Panache size 32F, Fantasia 30FF. I bought the first two from the bra shop and the rest online for much cheaper. If you aren't sure where to find a bra shop, visit your local bridal shop, they should be able to advise you. Hth, k ETA: I also have a small circumference(rib cage) and larger, widely spaced booKs. I fought the mono-book look for decades....best of luck to you!

Starr Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 The outlet stores have all the sizes. Check out the Flower Bali. I think the store is a mix, Hanes, Bali and something. Its online as well. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kipling Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 After a fitting, I was introduced to this model, and I really like it. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B002R9QJOS/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=349TXXG0GU9CW&coliid=IBZINT9Y7LDCG&psc=1 It comes in the sizes you're looking for. I know they had it in a 34DDD(which is the same as an F, I think) at Bealls. JCPenny carries the style, but only in more standard sizes.

kiana Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 I went to a major city on vacation and took a day to go to a specialty bra shop. I needed either a 32G or a 34F depending on brand, and they were very helpful with bringing me bras to try on. I recommend looking for a specialty shop if you can.

PIE! Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 My best luck for 34F has been Ross or TJ Maxx. They usually have one or two. I check that section every time I visit one of those stores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southern Ivy Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 I've always liked Cacique (Lane Bryant). Depending on the style, they do have 34/36s, though they typically have large sizes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QueenCat Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Get fitted at Nordstroms. They have an excellent selection in a wide range of sizes. Their fitters know what they are doing. Buy one at the fitting, and then more online for less money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VeganCupcake Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Nordstrom. BreakoutBras.com has really good fit advice, and they will do a telephone or email consult with you to help you get the right size. Each bra and bra manufacturer will vary a bit in fit, too, so good advice (or trying on everything) is critical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiana Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 No great brick and mortars around here. I order mine online from a Polish bra store and they're awesome. But even Nordstrom just doesn't have a wide enough size range for me, personally, and they are way overpriced for the quality compared to Ewa Michalak. Once you figure out your size (the fitting page is a must) it's easy. Really only the first order is iffy as you're zeroing in on fit. http://www.ewa-michalak.pl/?lang=eng Wow, I gotta say I love their models. Good-looking women, but a variety of sizes, shapes, and ages, rather than just slim and slimmer. It makes me want to order from them just to support that!

Sneezyone Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 I haven't bought one in a B&M store in 5 years. I agree with the suggestion to do a fitting at Nordstrom. They usually have a few in that size with decent colors too. They're insanely overpriced though. My sister (we have similar book issues) works in lingerie sales at the flagship store. I do all of my shopping at figleaves.com now but I know my size. If you watch the sale section, you can get both the bottom and top, a cute set, for under $40.

Mandylubug Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 I buy my 34 Fs (also known as 34 DDD) from fredericks of hollywood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elisabet1 Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 I drive a long ways for my bookshelf store. It is called the Maddox Shop in Dallas. They have all the variety of sizes. And they will ship too. Funny story..first time I bought there, they measured me or told me which sizes I needed. It was a couple of little old ladies working at the moment. I told them and they left and came back and followed me in to the dressing room! They completely helped! The bras were a perfect fit. But I had never been followed in to the dressing room before. They were elderly sweet ladies. I doubt they are there anymore. But it is still a good store. I have not been there lately, but will be making a trip soon.

beckster Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Soma! Pricey, but they do run sales a lot. Very helpful staff. Lots of options for sizes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
