    I am trying also to find a blog that a dear friend wrote about undergarments.  As soon as I do I will post it here.

    I have 32DD/E boobs, depending on the bra manufacturer. For things like running, I love the Moving Comfort Fiona bra. It's adjustable, high compression, and holds your boobs in place like nothing else. Its my go-to bra for exercise, but a bit too tight for pole.

    For pole, I like something a bit less constricting. I also have the Ta-Ta Tamer from Lululemon. It's decent for jogging, and I used to like it for pole until I saw photos and video of what I look like in it. I don't know how such a tight fitting bra can make me look so saggy! 🙁 So I only wear that one under clothes now. I also have a Natori Yogi Wire-Free Convertible Sports Bra which is good for pole. The straps are adjustable to make a X-back, which helps for shoulder mount. It's probably my favorite bra for yoga and pole.

    Finally, I just got the Lynn top from Mika Yoga Wear. It's recommended for large busted women. The first one I got was too small. I had to size up from what they recommended, but the exchange process was really easy. I have to say, it is the cutest, sexiest pole top I have ever worn. It's not as comfortable or secure as a well fitted jogging bra, but the sexyness was what I wanted. If I ever perform a recital, I will definitely wear my Lynn!

    First, make sure you are wearing the right size. Be sure to go to a real lingerie store… NOT Victoria’s Secret. Many VS locations will size you incorrectly just so they can sell you a bra that they have in stock. I once told a VS employee that I was a 32E and she gave me a weird look and said “um, that is NOT a real size.” I’m so happy to be called a liar… Thanks. I should have taken off the bra I was wearing to show her. 🙂

    Anyway! Once you have been properly fitted at a real lingerie shop, check out the following brands: Wacoal, Natori, Freya, Panache. Freya also makes excellent swimwear… All my bathing suits are Freya. Freya and Panache are both British brands, it seems the British designers are kinder to large busted women. DKNY and Calvin Klein also make extended sizes, but I find that they are less well made. You can get these brands at department stores or online. I like Biggerbras.com and Herroom.com. Another option (if you have one nearby) is Loehmanns or Nordstrom Rack. I often find Natori and Wacoal bras there for less than half price.
    Wearing a properly sized and fitted bra changed my entire level of comfort- it’s so important!

    Yeah, VS is out of luck…their bras cover half of one boob….I like le mystere bras…..once the kids go back to school I am going to go, I just hate bra shopping…I have seen some nice panache and freya bras online, but just hate buying something that expensive and not trying it on…

    marie jo & chantelle are my faves (32F for me), but I aldo like Elle McPhearson. My favorite place to shop ( and be sized correctly) is Nordstrom’s-they have THE BEST customer service!

    I am a UK size 30GG/32G. I have a few sports bras which are OK but a bit uniboob. The name escapes me for the moment. I recently discovered Cleo by Panache – they make moulded cup T shirt style bras which I now wear for pole, under a Supre crop top, but these bras would be perfectly OK to wear on their own in a class. No spillage/wardrobe malfunctions! For our end of term performance I bought a similar bra from Target, but as they don’t do my size, I went up several back sizes to get a cup size that fitted, then shortened the “underband” to fit, which worked OK.

    You can measure yourself if you can't get in to see a bra fitter. It's a bit easier if you have someone to help you wrap the tape around your back.

    Here's a good bra sizing guide that also includes size conversions for popular brands:

    Most bra specialty retailers have excellent return policies because they know how personal fit can be. As long as the item is new with tags attached, you should be fine.

    I’m a 36 D (implants) & have difficulty finding a bra that fits & doesnt look like a grandma bra! I’ve recently discovered bali bras sold at kohls, which are great everyday bras. I love their wirefree bras. For sexy bras, i buy from fredricks of hollywood.

    How about sports bras for high impact cardio? During Pole I wear a Target ‘sports bra’ but for working out has been a pain. Under armor brand doesn’t carry a comfortable size, wearing only one bra, size 34 DDD. (I know for some -that’s a dream size, but not for bootcamp cardio)
    But LoveFifi.com is fab! And specials every week, open retun policy. Sexy!!

    I hate that “measure yourself and add 5″” thing, which I’ve never understood That method may work for some, but not for me! According to that method, i think i come out as 36D but my correct size is 30GG or 32G (possibly because i have a very narrow back.)
