why is it so hard to find a bra?

i am a 34C/32D. my problem is i fall right in the middle so i can seem to find a bra that fits really well.

the bra im wearing right now seems to fit me well (cup and band size) but really doesn't support me.

my breasts are kind of heavy and round, so i need something to support more from the outside and bring them in a bit, if you can get that Chat Icon i have tried on so many bras and they are just cut so narrow for me.

and good recs?

im about to give up!

I suggest going to Nordstrom's and let them fit you. They seem to be the best around!

I'm the same way, I'm a DDD and my boobs are sooo heavy, that finding a good support bra is super necessary. I find that Chantelle and Wacoal bras are the best.

Wacoal is the best. I'm a 34 DDD and I feel fully supported in my bras.

They sell playtex bras with half sizes in Target - like $9.99 each. They are the only things that fit me perfectly.

I love
Simone Perele or Le Mystere. I am in btwn a 34 D & DD, but b.c they are European their Sizes fit me perfectly. Just know their sizes are different ( so I wear an E which is like an american d/dd.)

They sell them at Bloomingdales. They are pricey but worth it for the best support and comfort.

This is the best place. This is where I initially went to get fitted for bras. I was always wearing the wrong size & she helps to find the right style bras for your size. She is on a lot of TV Shows, and is awesome at what she does, she will recommend bras in all price ranges.

I'm actually the exact same size as you. I really like the angel demi bra from victoria's secret. It took me a while but now realize that the demi fit better b/c I'm inbetween sizes. I get the 34C and it fits the best.
