    Ive been looking for my bridal underwear for a decade (so it feels) everthing i like is normally only in a d+ sizes or now ive found the perfect longline bra, suspender belt and thong and they only do up to 36whatever. im a 38, somehow i have to loose two inches on top to get it... grrrr everytime. its like when i go shopping find something i really like and the only size they dont have id my size. I guess that means im the normal size but still :(

    I have a sticky outy rib which means that I can only wear bra's that have underwires that stop short (like plunge bras) But in my size they all seem to have underwires that come up and land on my bony bit. I find it really difficult to get nice underwear. It's why I'v not been dress shopping yet. I have either purple nice underwear or grey everyday. I am too embarrassed to go dress shopping with my grey everydays on.

    I'm now a married woman
    I have a gorgeous husband
    Whats to do now
    Theres no more wedding planning to do

    I'm a 32b, which is awesome because its always the size left over in the sale! SO many sale bras! (sorry just felt the need to rave about the only good thing about my bra size!)

    Though i do understand what it is like not to be able to find stuff you like that fits! I'm on the too short/ too skinny side which means when i go clothes shopping i have been advised on a couple of occasions to "have a look in the children's section"! I think shops are missing out on us. Because there are so many people with the same problem here. Good luck everyone, hope you all find something amazing that fits! xxxx

    felicity- if you are a 38 then you can wear a 36! if you go down in back size you go up one cup!

    for example if you are 38C you can go to a 36D!

    mrshowardtobe- try 32B! it will fit!

    i am 32C but can wear a 30D. they are exactly the same size!

    magicfairies im exactly the same, and i do have some "childrens" clothing! im around a size 6/8 depending where i buy from but trousers are a nightmare! they're either too short or they're big enough round the waist to fit 2 of me in! I dont really want to be buying childrens clothing, although in some places the "teens" section is quite nice, i just find it annoying and embarrassing.
    Then when i moan about it to someone they say "but you've got a great figure, i'd love a figure like yours" they dont seem to understand the problems i have buying anything to wear! that and the health problems that come with being so slim, mainly dizziness and low blood pressure in my case. theres nothing that can be done by the doctors for me, but shops could easily stock better sizes and adult clothing that would fit me!

    Surely you can only go down a back size if a bra is big fitting? I am 32 GG and could never wear a 30 H as I just would never get it fastened. It is worth trying a smaller back but only if it does not make you faint! ha ha

    i guess ill just hold off ordering what i want to get and if ive lost any weight or just size it will probably fit.

    when i went for a bra fitting a few months ago for my bridal underwear i was told that you can go down a back size if you go up a cup size. quite a few other people have been told that aswell. i will try and bump the thread for you! xx
