    have you ordered a large bra bella?

    I'm about to break down and order a bella, and I'm a little worried about getting the bra right. I understand that you place the order by giving your rib measurement and your bust measurement instead of your cup size. it seems pretty easy to get a bra right if somebody measures for a B/C cup, but what if you're a lot bigger? as in a 32F? if any of you boobalicious ladies have ordered successfully from bella I'd love to hear about it!

    and while I've got you, does anybody have any pics of a green bella? I think I've seen just about every color but green...

    Re: have you ordered a large bra bella?

    I gave her that measurement, but for some bizarre reason, in my excitement, I added like 5 inches to the bust measurement and got bra's that were true to the measurement I sent her.

    They were absolutley lovely and HUGE. When the person I hired to fix them took them apart, we were able to see that she took a standard bra cup that was on the big size and built onto them, seemlessly and very well done.

    Let me see if I have a picture of one...

    found one! I look a little goofy, but...

    For Bella and Sim I measure around my bust (loosely) while wearing my best fitted bra and I've always gotten a good sized cup from them. I've never been unsatisfied.

    Re: have you ordered a large bra bella?

    Sorry for the thread hijack, Elisa! I"m glad to hear that she can make them exactly as specified, I am contemplating ordering one too. The ones I buy used I'm having a hard time with. The last one I bought would have been perfect, but the cups were too close together. I wonder how she adjusts for that?

    If at the end of the day it's going to fit, yet. My problem was that I am not as big as the measurment that I sent, so we had to take the bra apart.

    If it's your actual bust measurment, she will be able to create a bra that fits.

    And there is one person ahead of you for that costume but you're now officially in line!
