A big reason you're probably having a problem with fit is that your band is too big so you're not getting enough support (or uplift). To give you an idea of other women about your size:

Listen to Running! A couple of months ago I followed her directions for bra measuring and upgraded myself from 38DDs to 36GGs. My breasts and I could not be happier!

I know just what you mean! Although in my case it's not so much a sweaty issue as an attracting every bit of dirt and fluff in a ten foot radius issue.

Ah, thanks!!! It makes it all worth it when women are wearing well-fitting bras.

Oh my god I'm so glad I read this thread! I've been feeling rather self-conscious about my lack of 'line cleavage'.

Most of my friends have awesome cleavage but even being overweight I just cant smoosh my boobs close enough together to get it lol!

I really appreciated the gallery showing real breasts of real women, thanks. =)

This! I have a very large frame ( for a woman) and its close to impossible to get cleavage even with help.

A big reason you're probably having a problem with fit is that your band is too big so you're not getting enough support (or uplift). To give you an idea of other women about your size:

Cheryl from Invest in Your Chest is around a 28FF (so you could see her posts for comparisons)

or

Kitty from Undercover Lingerista is also a 28FF.

or Denocte from Kurvendiskussionen (part in German but also often in English too) is a 30D

If you need help figuring out your fit I have a page on my blog about it. http://www.bralessinbrasil.com/p/fin...-that-fit.html Or you can always ask me directly. Trust me, ordering online is WAY better than wearing ill-fitting bras and the prices are actually much better than what you can get in store, often. Oh, and most places have good return policies too. If you need help let me know!

ETA: Another place to check for comparison: http://www.bralessinbrasil.com/2012/...t-is-live.html this is a photogallery that myself and a few other bloggers made of women who wear 30 bands and under.

Thanks running for all the advice!

I might wait to lose these last few pounds before I try ordering since my last 5 lbs feel like they've mainly come from my bust! Fortunately after looking it up, I've found a couple of stores that cater for D cup plus that do sell Freya/Panache etc. where I can try them (although at double the price so I'll be buying online!) after I'm happy with my weight. I'm a tad bit nervous in case I can't even fit into a 28D by the end of it or I get looks from the shop assistants wondering what I'm doing there since I'm not really busty at all.

In the meantime you could always take in the bands of your bras while you're waiting to lose the last 5 lbs. It's something that I've often done during weight loss. I have some tutorials here: http://www.bralessinbrasil.com/2012/...terations.html

There are also 28D and under bras. The Little Bra Company makes them as well as Ewa Michalak. Also a great blog for smaller breasts/small back is http://32aabra.com/ and she might know of some more brands.
