This is kind of an awkward topic but yesterday I got measured at Victoria's Secret and they said I was a band size 28, which they don't carry, so I decided to get the smallest size they had which is a 32 but it doesn't fit at all because every time I put my arms up the band rises up. I've looked online for my size but everything was $80+ and I'm not willing to spend that much on a bra. Do you know of any places which carry my size for a reasonable price?

Janet T. Go to a specialty shop and get remeasured. I find that VS doesn't always do the greatest job of measuring.

Oh trust me I feel you! Being a 32ff I am forced to wear a 36D which is too tight cup size and way too big strap and band wise, because I can't afford to buy the bras that actually fit!

Oh and trust me 32ff isn't as big as it sounds , at all. Cup siZe is dependent on band size!

The brand Chantelle is sold at many high end lingerie stores as a more affordable option. I know they make my band size (30), and perhaps they make 28 although I haven't checked. Their bras are great quality, much better than VS and for only $10-$15 more (mine cost $64 from Journelle but maybe you can find them for less)

Take it to a tailor and have it taken in an inch or two on each side. If the cup fits right.

I'm not a fan of VS, is cute but their bra sizes are wayyyy off. I love maidenform bras. You'll be surprised the difference in actually size when you don't shop at VS.

I'm a 28G and have to wear 30F (which isn't easy to find either) so I understand your pain. I buy online most of the time.

I'm a 32DDD and my daughter is a 32G so I've been ordering from Nordstrom. We only have 3 bras each at about 50-70$ a piece. There's a website figleaves.com that specializes in harder to find sizes.
Going down a cup size and up in band size is just a tactic to sell you an ill-fitting bra. Don't buy a bra that way!! We spend all kinds of money on makeup etc. these are your GIRLS! Give them proper support! All you need is two bras a black and a nude, make sure to hand wash them to prolong their life.
