Have you heard of this company?

Storm in a D Cup is an online store who stock bras in sizes from a D-cup onwards (all the way to an L! - although not in every style).
They stock bras from well-known brands like Freya, Elle MacPherson and Triumph.

The website offers a good range of everyday bras, sports bras, maternity bras, swimwear and sleepwear.
And... (wait for it...) pretty bras! I don't know about you, but at a DD-E its nearly impossible to find a supportive, comfy bra that doesn't make me feel 'matronly'.

Check some of these out:
This is the "Antique Rose Minimizer" from Triumph.

Its sized from a 10 to 18, Cup DD to G.

There's a matching brief and g-string too (*sigh* - I heart sets)










Or this one, which is the "Isabella Lace Bra"by Le Mystère.

This one is sized from a 10 to 16, cup-sized D, E and F (no DD? - bizarre) and has a matching g-string too.









Storm in a D-Cup are currently offering a $5 discount voucher if you sign up to their monthly newsletter (so I did).

Because its an online store, fitting is always going to be a bit tricky. There's a link on the site to a Fitting Guide, and there's also a 100% exchange/return policy within 30 days.

There is a store in Bondi Junction (fittings by appointment only), but what I really love about this set up, is that they have your size. I always get the cranks when I find a bra I love, and its made in my size, and its not on the rack! ARGH! I'll order online to get what I want any day.

The bras aren't the cheapest (department store prices) but for the sheer convenience, I'm willing to give it a go.

I haven't actually ordered anything from this website yet, but as soon as my $5 voucher comes through I'll be placing an order. And I promise to blog about the result.

Have you had any experiences (good or bad) with Storm in a D-Cup? Let us know on the comments page.

Oy, sorry again, but check out Zodee

Very sorry to all, the blogging in general has kind of gotten away from me in the lead up to christmas. 

I haven't recieved it yet, but I've just recently bought the Paragon by Fayreform from zodee.com.au, which is a great website for large cup sizes. I've been having a ball looking through their styles available, and one of their best features is an extremely good Search function. You plug in your chest size and your cup size and it brings up everything they have in that size, plus an option to view the clearance items in your size.

While I know not everyone's going to be super keen to purchase online, I mostly feel comfortable with a brand like Fayreform, because they're SUCH good quality. 

Another great thing about Zodee is that they carry swimwear, in larger busts. They even have a whole link labelled D+ Cups, which if you're like me, and hate pawing through the racks for something larger than a triangle, you're laughing. 

I also bought this bikini, in the black print-

The Layla from 2 Chillies 

different bottoms and tops available, don't you just love seperates!

I'll let you know how it goes too. (I know, she does NOT look like a D cup in this photo, so will have to hope for the best....)

Intimo- an introduction

 

I went to an Intimo party last week. For the uninitiated Intimo is a party plan/direct selling company that sells underwear and some clothing. Like Tupperware but bras and knickers.

One of the services Intimo provide is a fitting, which I might add she does preface with "this is your Intimo size, but it should give you a guide when you go into other stores"



The last time I was fitted we worked out was a year ago, at a friends party, and I'm pretty sure I was sized correctly at the time (12DD). I was expecting slight variation, but essentially the same. Possibly a little smaller around the rib cage since I shed some of the dreaded "back fat".

So it was with great surprise she revealed I was now a 10EE.



"Oh for heavens sake, like I don't have enough trouble buying bras already" I thought!

So, stay tuned for reviews of the Intimo bras, and whether their sizing system actually works, since the way they operate, you don't actually get to try on the bra you're buying. She will generally only have one bra in your size, and you have to guesstimate how that fit will work on another bra.

**Mystique Set shown above. I'll be reviewing this upon receipt of it.

Instead of a breast reduction...

How pretty is this bra?! (It's Matisse by Freya)

A Current Affair is showing a piece on pretty and comfortable bras for us DD+ girls as I type. Because we all know how difficult it is to find a well fitting, comfortable DD+ bra that doesn't look like someone in a nursing home would be the only one who would want to wear it.*

Apparently, women are going to a certain store to buy bras instead of getting breast reduction surgery!

It says on their website - Beautiful Lingerie and Swimwear D cup & above.

D cup and above sounds good to me! I'm sorry but I sorta like that smaller sizes are excluded as we bigger girls have had to deal with being excluded for so long with so many bras finishing at a D cup, not starting there!

Maybe we should check it out? All I've noticed so far is that the bras seem abit co$tly. But they may be worth it because they're so pretty!

Well, I'm off to check out Brava Lingerie, you can buy the bras online too. I'll let you know what I think!

* I'm sure that alot of people in nursing homes want to wear funky but comfortable bras too. At least I think I will when I'm in a nursing home...
