Thread: What size bra?

I wear a 32 DDD. My lower hip is 40" and add to that that I am 5'2". It makes for a strange combination. My D's are full but I have a small underbust. What should I look for. Many of the DD or DDD are 38's. Can I get away with a 34 full C. I really would like a full dress with mesh cutouts but am at a loss even trying to figure out a size. Any suggestions?..c::

I suggest a custom costume, honestly. That's what I'm going to do.

I have the same problem, with both regular clothes and costumes. I feel your pain!

I'm a 32F, so just a skosh bigger than you in the chest. no, my dear, you won't be able to stuff yourself into a 34 full C. trust me. :)

in my experience, most costumes that have cups that would fit us, have a hip size that would accommodate you quite well. the big issue is your height - you'll probably need to hem or take up the skirt of anything you find ready-made.

keep an eye on the swap boards, try on lots of costumes whenever you get the chance, and consider custom ordering (you'd probably be happy in an egyptian cup size 5).
