Maybe I need to try Lovable, then. I've already got a finelines, and it slips down. Could be wrong sizing, though...
My Fine Lines doesn't slip down, the band just cuts into my skin, and when i take it off, i've red raw marks on my skin, which feels like sunburn. it's a great bra otherwise. lol

I've tried on fine lines and i didn't find it comfortable/the cups sat weird. If i recall correctly it was too padded (could had been a different one)
you can get both padded and unpadded fine lines convertibles. it just depends on what ur after :) does the Lovable come in a D cup? I should check it out, if so

I'm pretty sure you can. Im a C and im 99.9% sure that there were bigger sizes available.
Ahh ok maybe i tried on the padded one and it was just too much. I mean i can't do not padded at all because hello i need SOME support, but there is a difference between padded padded which pushes them up too much/adds size and a padded which is padded in order to provide more support. The loveable one is padded but you can take out the little extra bit they put in some bras at the bottom of the cup :D

yeh i've seen bras that u can take out the padding. i had a cozzie that did that, which was great, coz with the padding i looked like some porn star.

from my experience of lovable, some of their designs don't have d-cups. they have a gorgeous push-up bra (not too push up though lol) with straps that u can take off to replace with clear straps. however they dont come in D's, which sux crap.

but i'm going to check out the lovable section anyway. thanks for that!

i went through a stage where all i bought were the lovable bra's because they were one of the only bras i could find in a 10 D. They are good initially, however the mouded cups tend to stretch, and they have THIN elastic straps, which are not great for support. The backing is also elasticed which means that you will move to the smallest back size relatively quickly.

theres this bra store in south wentworthville called De Bra's they reckon that they can fit ANYONE there... and i mean anyone (my mum has friends who are "F" cups who swear by this place)

I'm gonna go there this arvo and get fitted actually, i'm almost positive that i need an 8 in the back, but a larger cup size, they reckon that can customise bra's also

yeah, i think i need a smaller size in the back, i might go there sometime because after a few washes all my bras become too loose around the back.

by the way, my boobs are still shrinking, for anyone interested. :(:(:( down to a pitiful B...

I've searched and searched and searched but no-where i can find an 8 in a cup size larger than an A or B. I got professionally fitted a few years ago and the lady told me when you buy a bra, you should start on the largest hook (so you can make it smaller as the bra stretches over time) and the same with the straps.

They say most people wear a cup size that is too small and a back size that is too big.

bras stretch like complete bitches. smart idea to start with the largest hook.

i can't buy bras from target, i always find that they dont have my size. and when they do, they're, once again, yuckky grandma bras. i usually get mine from myer. $60 for a bra seems ridiculous, but i'd pay $80 + for a bra if it fit like a dream.

i'm a real tightarse - i hunt around for bargains, but when it comes to bras, i'd pay all sorts of money.

i may hold you to that some day... :cool: if i get any smaller it will start to get ridiculous. and i have lost some weight but not an excessive amount.

and skeeta, where did you find the 8? cos i may be able to fit an 8B and it could work better for me than my current situation...

I have never seen an 8 in australia, i saw in on a holiday in singapore, but for me that was proof enough that they exist!

if you're a 10 B you would be an 8 C by the way, every back size you go down, you go up a cup size

I'm also one of those cases where *I* lost weight, but went up two cup sizes... A --> C in two months. One of the scariest things that's ever happened to me... but otherwise, I believe the tale is that the boobs are the last thing to gain weight, but they're the first to loose it :(

Skeeta: That ratio only works one size up or one size down. A 14B is more or less a 10C. However, an 8D and 12B are about the same as a 10C. You can compare next time you go to the shops - the cup size (as in depth and width and everything) is the same, but the band width is slighly different.

EDIT: I've seen 8 AA's in Sydney. Maybe even an 8A. But nothing bigger than that. :(

think about it. a person who is a size 8D is relatively smaller than a person with a size 16D cup. The cup size is sort of in proportion to the body

EDI: yeah thats what i mean ^^

And here I am being a damned fool running around with a 12B.
