#TigOlBitties: Where to Buy Bras for Full Size Busts

Listen…I’ve always had a hard time finding bras that fit me. From high school until now, it’s been a never-ending search to find bras that are my size. Long gone are the days when I was a smaller size and could walk into stores like TJMaxx and Marshalls to scoop up a few new ones. When you’re carrying around 34H’s, you can’t run into local department stores for a new bra right quick…the struggle is TOO real.

Finding where to purchase new bras for full size busts larger than a D-cup shouldn’t be a struggle. There are plenty of stores and resources around now that eliminate that issue. The thing that sucks about having a larger cup size is the bras are more expensive. Why must I break the bank when I go bra shopping?!

Figleaves

Pour Moi? Amour Convertable Underwired Bralette $29.40

Definitely my go-to for when I need new bras. Figleaves is a brand from the UK that sells lingerie, swimwear, and a multitude of other things. I haven’t purchased anything from them in a few months but last time I did, I spent about $200 on 6 new bras. More bang for your buck, am I right?

Lane Bryant

Simply Wire Free Lightly Lined Racerback T-Shirt Bra $58.95

When I need a bra ASAP and don’t feel like waiting for some to be shipped, I know I can go to Lane Bryant and I’ll find what I’m looking for. What I love about Lane Bryant is their bras aren’t the boring nude or black. Having a fuller bust shouldn’t mean you can’t wear the florals or sexier bras.

Ashley Stewart

Patterned Lace Cup T-Shirt Bra $19.99

When I was in high school, there was an Ashley Stewart store close to where I lived so this was the first stop many times when I was bra shopping. Walking in the store made me feel less weird about having a larger chest as a teenager.

Nordstrom

Naked Full Figure Underwire Bra $49

I didn’t know Nordstrom sold fuller sized bras until last year when the brand Nubian Skin started selling their bras there. There’s been a consistent discussion on what “nude” really means for different skin tones so it’s great a Black-owned brand took the initiative to show that one shade doesn’t fit all.

ASOS

ASOS FULLER BUST Crystal Red Velvet Molded Underwire Bra $28

For the times you need something you want to show off underneath those sheer tops, ASOS is the way to go. Their bras are fun, sexy, and you’d want to show them off at any opportunity you can.
