This one is for women only
Ok, ladies, where on earth can one find a comfortable bra? One that doesn't scratch, doesn't bind and is still pretty? A bra that is made for a woman with DD cup size?
Where, where where??
I've tried a zillion of them. I've spent a fortune on bras, but not one of them ever lets me forget that I'm wearing it.
And what is with the damn tags? Why do they have to face my very sensitive skin in the middle of my back and make me itch like crazy?
Rosemary, DaGoddess and, I'm sure, others have found pretty bras that look comfy. Why can't I????
Do I have to learn to sew my own? I hope not - my lovely and lonely sewing machine is covered with all kinds of projects I've not had time for!

I have often pondered that question. But through many, many, many shopping trips (internet and actual stores) they just do not make pretty bras for DD women. I have found one that is "nice", Victorias Secret "Body by Victoria" line. They now have a demi cup one for DD. They are comfy and keep the girls up where they should be!

IMPORTANT FEATURE - IMPORTANT FEATURE!
It's gotta be one-hand removeable while contorted in the car!
Did I say that?

Odd as it may sound - have you looked at Fredricks of Hollywood? On another message board I frequent, this subject has arrisen and several well endowed ladies recommended it. I haven't check them out yet - although I keep telling myself I'm going to! I just procrastinate until what I have is about to fall apart. I hate shopping for clothes!
I'm a 38B and I swear it's a size that is about the most impossible to find. Victoria Secret tells me it's the most popular size - and my response is, well why don't you put more out in your stores then??? GRRRR!
Anyhow, check them out and see what you find, they are online, so you should be able to look around and see if anything looks appealing before you buy.

Super secret hint: Lane Bryant. Comfy, made for curvy babes, and durable!

I wear both Victoria's Secret and Title 9. Of course, I'm only a 36C, but Title 9:
http://www.title9sports.com/
has pages of bras for every size... (I just opened the catalog and yes, I see many bras in size DD!) You can order a catalog or view them on the site.
Don't let them fool ya, they're not all sports bras. ;)

This won't segue into an introduction to the arcane world of foundation garments? Girdles next?
(Mind you, an illustrated introduction could have positive traffic results. Just saying.)

Pfui! When I wrote the above, I checked on my desktop picture: Katie Price, aka Jordan, a woman of splendid foundations.

I am 34/DD and I use Playtex (they have special line for cups c and above) and Bali (which are pretty ugly, but 'do the work')
Also have one model each from Barbara and Triumph.
Tell me another thing - now where do you buy swimwear?...
