Hi lovely! Sorry your travels were so rough. I hope you don't get too sick. Um I was wondering where you got your bras? My bestie has a larger chest like you and its a struggle to get things that fit. Do you have any sites/brands to reccomend? Her birthday is coming up and I wanna surprise her probably with a giftcard because I don't wanna risk getting her the wrong size. I am in canada so I wager if they can ship to you they can probably ship to us. Thank you
First thing's first: Canada does get the small end of things when it comes to lingerie orders. I would highly suggest trying out a package forwarding service to get around it, especially since most specialty lingerie retailers only ever ship domestically or to certain countries.
Oh, and, something to note! US, UK, and EU brands all use different sizing. Yes, I know, it's confusing. US and UK share band sizes, but once you get past DD, the cups get a bit weird. Here is a handy chart for reference. EU measures its bands in centimeters (80, 85, 90, 95, etc.), while the cups keep in line with US for the most part.
There's also JP, AU/NZ, FR, and IT sizing... but I don't know the first thing about them because they simply do not make my size 😂
With those disclaimers in mind--
By and large I will always stand by Polish bras in particular, since they usually have the best structural integrity for larger chests while still looking pretty or sexy instead of utilitarian. Ewa Michalak is my favourite, though Gorsenia has nice stuff as well. (I also liked Comexim for a bit, but they run small and I outgrew them 💀)
Bear in mind, though, that shit ain't cheap. The really good stuff is going to be anywhere from $55-$155 a pop before shipping and tax. You might get lucky and find some on Poshmark/Mercari/eBay, but the best guaranteed fit and find will come from a direct source like miseczki (Chicago based seller that focuses on Polish bras).
If you want to go more budget, can't go wrong with Brastop. They frequently have sales and you can easily pick up 3 or 4 bras from them for the same price you'd get a standard Ewa. Flirtelle is definitely my favourite brand from them; Liaison isn't bad, but it runs large. I do not like Curvy Kate (they run kind of flat, and I am... pendulous), though admittedly I like my bra from Scantilly (Curvy Kate's more ~boudoir~ line).
Bare Necessities is another good one (and they do ship to Canada, yay!). They run the gamut from the cheapy cheap barely worth it stuff to the REALLY pricy (think well over $200+). Panache is my favourite of what they have (I SWEAR by their Clara), and they've got a sister brand, Sculptresse, that runs a bit bigger. I've heard good things about Elomi, but not gotten them myself.
And as a special mention, the only sports bra I've been able to find that didn't turn my cleavage into a swampy mess is SheFit. With a bigger chest, you WANT the high-impact Ultimate.
...man, now I want new bras...
