Bravissimo have just brought out a new underwired basque. It's an existing style called Lola, but available in black, rather than the previous black/teal version.

It's not cheap at £50 but they do sizes up to 38K, and the reviews of it are good.

I haven't been able to buy a basque to fit me until now and I am beyond excited!!

No good for me, never ever found anything above a 38 in Bravissimo. It's all well and good them doing the bigger cup sizes but what about the bigger back sizes?

I feel your pain. Buying underwear was like that for me for many, many years. Even now the range available is really limited but at least I can get _some_ nice things now.

It was miserable in my teens and twenties when all my friends had pretty underwear and I was stuck with Doreen from Triumph styles in white and elastoplast colours!

I need to find swimwear within the next few weeks. Hate shopping for it because nowhere on the highstreet does my size. I have to buy cup size ones rather than clothes size because I can't get the support in normal ones. So annoying

Same here. Got measured yesterday and was told my back size was huge but my cup size was smaller than I thought

Every other person I know who gets measured gets told they are 2 cup sizes bigger

Again, try Bravissimo. Or do they not do your size?

I've always got on well with Bravissimo, but my cup size is a lot bigger than my back size. I like the fact that my size is near the front of the racks, I don't get that very often.

But then I like old fashioned type bras too, I really like the longline Doreen bras and I buy brands from Triumph and Playtex. I accessorise my own clothes with appliques if I want to make them different, thick strap bras are great for adding flower appliques or cherries and fruit, the straps are wide enough to do it

third star on the right

I usually get bras from Next as they do nice fitting bra sizes. I have managed to drop on a basque in Asda though as they go up to G with big back sizes and sometimes have pretty ones- bonus is they are usually under £20!

I will have to look in Bravissimo now, a girl can never have too much underwear

I'm soooo envious of ladies who are an F or G cup. The choice is so much greater.

You can so much choice now...in fact there must be a lot of ladies who are a 36gg as they are always out of stock

When I lost weight and went down to a G cup I had loads more styles to choose from. Many ranges stop at G and of those that don't, only a fraction go past H.

On Bravissimo at the moment, in my back size,

G cup - 91 styles available

H cup - 77 styles available

J cup - 45 styles available

Of 11 bodies/basques, only one goes beyond H, most stop at G.

Some blokes will cry, I'm sure, but I want smaller boobs!!

When you think that essentially boobs are sacks of fat i never did understand why larger cup sizes mainly come with back sizes up to 40inches.

Just my thinking that a 34j is going to sell less than perhaps a 44j for example

I don't think there's a clear cut answer.

A 44" back size would indicate a fairly large lady, compared with 34". But not all large ladies have big boobs. And some smaller ladies have proportionally large boobs.

I have 5 dress sizes difference between my hips and my bust. I wear a largeish back size because I'm a large woman but my boobs are larger than average for my size.

Some larger ladies can even have a relatively small back size, as they are pear-shaped and all their excess weight is on their hips, bum and thighs.

A long time ago, I had a friend who was a 32E and she found it difficult to find anything back then. I'm a 34G and the relatively smaller back size means that not everything is available when I look for it.
