Now I usually wear this size in other bras but it's been acouple of years since I bought new ones (have always bought up big on any that are are on special and actually do, do the job) to find although I have not changed the sizing certainly has.
I tried all the bras that where made for big girls (all of 5) only to find all where ill fitting. Underwire sitting out so far from the body that the arms rubbed against them. Cup size E still did not cover the right boob properly and the back was so skimpy that before I even raised my arms up the back was up around my neck
There was a very pretty bra that come in all sizes and I did wonder if they ever actually sold that bra past a size 16 B, forget the 12-14 DD plus sizes as that group was completely forgotton, which surprised me as usually it's the bigger sizes all over that miss out.
Although very sexy it's straps where so thin I'd be forever ajusting it, wiggling around trying to get it back into place and then I had a light bulb moment, we according to the manufactures are completely disperate to feel beautiful an sexy, so some would buy them just to sit in the draw too be admired, for that never to be special one day!
It was so depressing to once again find that I am unable to buy pretty things for my age and size.
Oh! and I do think they should manufacture a Menopause bra where ice packs can be inserted like the chicken fillet bras.

I love it, 'ice fillets' that would feel so cool in the summer heat while doing chores in the house too.
