Annoying that size 32 bras are so hard to find
Belk is having a sale. I found a Playtex non-underwire bra for $16. The Wacoal bras are always $50 and up! The one that fits me well. ggrrrr

Re: Annoying that size 32 bras are so hard to find
Before kids I was a 34A, sometimes I could make a 34B work in smaller brands but not often. I never found a bra that fit right until after I had kids and ended up with a small C cup/large b cup depending on the brand still not the easiest . I just use knit bralette now.

I am a 32C now. When still nursing a few years ago I was got measured as a 32DD!
I was wearing 34 because that's the smallest band size at Walmart and Target, but then it gets stretched out too quick because I start it on the tightest hooks. I need a new bra! but really don't want to pay $50 |

Rebecca Page patterns just came out with a bra pattern. I haven't made it yet, but it gets amazing reviews.

:hugheart It stinks. I am a 32G so no finding $16 bras anywhere on the planet for me.
If I could sew, I would do it! |
Re: Annoying that size 32 bras are so hard to find
Same as heartofjoy but 32ff. I would be thrilled with a $50 bra. I was just looking at third love. They have your band size. Of course any in my size are over $65. No cheaper than my local lingerie store. Stinks when you can't get a good sale price off the rack at a department store! Though I guess for as long as I wear them, I get my money's worth! Ha!

Re: Annoying that size 32 bras are so hard to find
Yay! I have had some success finding NWT bras on eBay for cheaper if you know the style and size you want.

Re: Annoying that size 32 bras are so hard to find
Hello everyone!
I have been away from GCM for a few years because kids got older and life/work happens. My oldest graduates in May, and all 3 of mine are in high school this year!!! In my current search for an actual bra that fits, I remembered you ladies! I mean, this isn't something one wants to put on FB. LOL I'm a 32 band, G or H cup in US sizing. That is, if I measure my band size as the exact measurement of my rib cage and the cup size by how many inches I measure at the widest part of the bust. Which brings me to this: So many places have you measure your band size, add 4-5 inches, then figure cup size from there. OR, measuring from your back bra band level to above the breasts in front (lookin' at you, VS). :scratch If you go that route in order to be able to purchase a bra from a department store, have you been happy with it? I'd think it'd be way too loose around the band... Because a 36D would sure be easier to find than a 32H..... |

I am liking the Felina Paramour Gorgeous bras. I pay $20 or $25, not more.
Tanya, I haven't bought any bras like that in a long time, but back in the day when all I had was what the store had and I didn't know any better...there were one or two that were ok. |
Re: Annoying that size 32 bras are so hard to find
32 B as well
The only time a bra fits ok with no gaps is 2-3 days during ovulation |
Re: Annoying that size 32 bras are so hard to find
Gap. They have 40 or 50% off often.

Wacoal suggests the adding inches to the band thing. I sent their fitting experts an email with my issues. It will be interesting to see what they say. The other place I ordered from last month(and returned) used actual measurements for sizing and sold Wacoal. Same bras, 2 different ways to measure. So confusing! Edit/Update: Wacoal responded with a recommended size for me (30G in U.S./ 30F in U.K. sizing) in a couple of their bras. No explanation about the differentiation on their site about how they size. Since they offer free returns, I've ordered a couple and will see how it goes....pretty expensive though. If this is a let down, I guess I may try Third Love. |
Re: Annoying that size 32 bras are so hard to find
Does Third Love carry 32?

Re: Annoying that size 32 bras are so hard to find
My oldest daughter was in a 32 DD, I took a couple 40D bras, cut off the latch part and resewed them on the band. It made them practically racer backs but they held her stuff in well =D

Re: Annoying that size 32 bras are so hard to find
I hate Victoria secrets advertising and I know some don't like the fit of their bras, but I have yet to find a bra that fits better and is more comfortable than the body by Victoria line. I'm a 32dd and they go up to a 32ddd in 32 band sizing. I measure 30/31 in band so I do end up adding an inch or two but I have tried 30inch bands in other brands and they were not comfortable even after wearing them for a couple weeks to let them break in. So depending on comfort and brand, adding inches may not be wrong. I definitely don't think you should add more than a couple though because that will mess up the fit. Target also has size 32 bands you can try but they only go up to a D cup and their fit was off for me. In their bras I needed a 34 band but the C cup was slightly too small and the D cup was slightly to big. I do have a tiny bit of space in my VS bras right where the strap meets the cup but if i go down a cup size the don't fit. If I criss cross the straps it goes away but unfortunately I can't do that because the weight gives me neck pain.
Also don't let the them size you at VS because it will be off. They put me in a 34C which was huge in the band even on the tightest hook. ---------- Post added at 08:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:31 AM ---------- I think Victoria Secret is also having their semi annual sale right now so you can get them for $25. |

In reality you should measure your band size parallel to the floor and then go down to the nearest even number. This gives you the most time with a bra as it stretches out. Quote:
Things like the underwire not sitting between the breasts against the actual breast bone but floating - this is terrible fit. Or one lady had the underwire sitting 3-4 inches BELOW her breasts. It was practically at her waist. She had a short torso anyway and that was not helping her. If you do try it I'd be interested to hear how it goes. I'm a 28/30 band with a F-H cup. |
Re: Annoying that size 32 bras are so hard to find
Went to Dillard's yesterday. The only bra in my size in the clearance bin was too tight. WHY do Wacoal never go on sale? I do not want to pay $60 for a bra!

I sent their fit experts another email with details and asking for suggestions on getting a properly fitting size. They are going by the measurement under the bust (only they went *down* to the next even # of inches where I'd been going *up). And then the difference between US/UK/EU sizing makes it even more confusing, hence my contacting them again to ask for help, versus just ordering the next size up. My favorite/best fit was the Freya Idol Balcony T-shirt Bra. ($68 :eek But if it'll last 2 years......maybe it'll be good. ) |
