Re: NBR-Ladies that are D-cup or Larger
1. I'm still nursing so I go to the hospital store and get the largest cup size in the smallest band size.
2. None right now. They all look so industrial =( When I'm not nursing I find that Macy's has a brand called Lunaire that are for large cup sizes and very pretty. Link here.
3. Strapless is hard. I find that I need a corset to make sure the girls are fully supported. My favorite is from Frederick's. Link here.

I'm totally camping out and watching this thread in hope of some good recommendations! Right now Im wearing some horribly stretched out size E nursing bras from Motherhood Maternity. They are in awful shape and the straps are held together by barrettes to give me some lift.
Pre-baby I was a DD and shopped Victorias Secret. I would begrudgingly buy 1-2 bras a year, only on sale, and wear them until they were falling apart because I hated spending $$ on them. I think Body By Victoria full coverage was the style. I havent worn a strapless in years except for my wedding, and for that I needed a corset. Strapless bras always end up around my waist wiith my boobs resting on top of the bra.
I'm not looking forward to getting measured after I'm done nursing. Does any store sell bras for boob size "long"??? LOL!
DD lady here.
I prefer Victoria Secret. I tried Cacique, but their sizes are off. I need to go up a size for them. Target is also great.
Victoria Secret's Very Sexy Cotton Bras are my preferred.
I have a convertible that I got from VS years ago. I need a new one but I love it.
Yes, VS is expensive, but I wait until I get coupons and sales and then get a few of them.
Nordstrom! Nordstrom! Nordstrom!
I wear DD and they can find you the perfect bra. I literally told the sales woman what bra features I like, and she picked out the bra that was perfect! They are also great at fitting bras. I have liked DKNY especially.
Info about DD plus selection at Nordstrom. https://shop.nordstrom.com/c/dd-plus
I have a very odd bra size because I'm so narrow - 30D/DD. It's very very hard to find. My girls also need a ton of support due to extreme sagging
I've had some luck with Bloomingdales and Linda's. I live in Manhattan, not sure if Linda's is nationwide. The bras I'm wearing are so good that they don't make me look like a circus freak! I think I look more like a C
Also, there is a store here in the theatre district that is fabulous. BraTenders. They have every size you can imagine and bra-sized bikini tops too. I highly highly recommend them. It's hard for me to get there now with DS but they are great. I went there for my wedding bra. They gave me an amazing bustier which is pretty much the only kind of strapless bra I can wear. Regular strapless bras don't work for me at all.
