good bras for big boobs

pandadair

Ok, you've convinced me. I will have to try some on. I'm just a strapped-down-pushed-up kinda gal, and every single nursing bra I've tried has made my boobs feel... swingy.

I just wish the Nordstrom's near me carried 38I (pre-preg 36H but I know I've gained some non-baby fat) so I could at least see if I liked one I wanted to buy; not really fond of the idea of ordering and having to return it if it doesn't fit right.

For those of you who normally shop at Nordstrom's, how easy is there online/in-store return policy?

I've never returned an online order via mail, but their in-store policy is ridiculously customer-friendly. The bra I bought before this one, I wore for 3 weeks straight, washed it, and decided it still didn't fit quite right. Took it back with the receipt, no questions asked. I've also returned jeans that I'd worn for months because they ripped in the crotch (and I didn't even have the receipt for that one). I feel like you could buy something, rip it in half, then tell them you don't want it anymore and they'd still smile and give you your money back.


Their online policy is the same and they typically do free shipping. I love me some Nordies!

I'm not sure where you all got your information that your band size doesn't change. I am 25 weeks, gained about 12 pounds so far and went from 34d to 38dd. Your rib cage expands, especially when your hormones release the stretching hormones to allow for adequate lung and uterus expansion (befit mom.com) This is why when you give birth, you still have a larger rib cage and a lot of times shirts don't fit. I got measured and am wearing the right size ( not being squished) and literally Ive expanded several inches.

Same for me...my cup hasn't actually changed that much but my back and shoulders feel a lot more broader. I used to be a 36 and now I'm a 38.

hcorcoran and @pandadair -- I now have no excuse of being lazy and/or afraid of their return policy.
