Help! The Fitter Just Told Me I Need a Huge Bra!

If you recently visited a bra fitter for the first time, you might have been surprised to learn that you need a huge bra size. Many women have a hard time believing the fitter when she tells them that they really need a much larger size than they were wearing previously. This is a fairly common occurrence. Many women are wearing the wrong size, and many of these women are wearing bras with band sizes that are too big and cup sizes that are too small.

So, if you just went to a fitter and she handed you a huge bra, what do you do now?

Change Your Wardrobe

When this happens, you will likely have to change your whole wardrobe in terms of bras. For example, you thought you needed a 36 C. As a result, you have seven 36 C’s in your closet. Now, after visiting the fitter, she told you that you need a huge bra—a 34 E. The 34 E will actually have the same amount of coverage as the 36 C, but it will provide you with better support because of the firmer band.

So, none of the bras that you own fit properly now, and you will need to replace them all. This can be intimidating, but it’s not impossible. All you have to do is start small and shop smart.

Avoid the Stores

You want to avoid the traditional lingerie stores when you need a huge bra. If you have a speciality lingerie store in your area that focuses on well-endowed women, you might be able to shop there. The typical lingerie store, however, might not carry your size (especially if it’s very large) and/or they might not have much of a selection in your size.

That being said, you might want to purchase a bra or two at the store where you get fitted. This way you will at least have something that fits. However, you should not feel obligated to replace your entire bra collection at that store.

Shop Online

The best thing you can do when you need to buy new bras is to shop online. Once you know your bra size it’s easy. All you have to do is search for your specific size. You can also look for retailers that sell large size and plus size bras. If you want to find a good huge bra or two, the internet is a great place to look. You will have many more options online than you will in your local stores.

So, if a fitter has just told you that you need a huge bra, take a deep breath, avoid the stores, and shop online.
