I am a tall and very full-figured (very curvey and amply endowed) woman, and finding the right bra is always a challenge. I used to spend a great deal of time trying to find the right bra by visiting as sorts of plus size clothing stores for women with a varying degree of success. I finally found an acceptable bra at a Lane Bryant on a trip to visit the Bahai Temple in Wilmette, Chicago. I believe the brand was Cacique; at the time I purchased three that lasted for three years (yes, an average of one bra per year). However, I was never able to find that particular bra again. So, I started my search again, and in the post-Covid-19 Coronavirus era, I relied exclusively on internet shopping and bra hunting. After many, many, many, M.A.N.Y, hours of reviewing bras, reading reviews of bras, googling "the best bra for big curvey women", I finally found the Curvy Couture Women's Tulip Lace Push Up Bra! I read the reviews (on and off Amazon) and, overall, I was satisfied enough to try a bra. I ordered the bombshell nude one in size 44G as a trail bra because it was the cheapest ($45 at the time I ordered it). The bra arrived in a timely fashion and was well packages. I waited until the weekend to try the bra because I did not want to "break-in" a new bra at work (imagine my embarrassment if the bra "broke" or if it failed to restrain my survey self within its confines during work!). I spent the weekend wearing the bra (not to sleep, of course) and moving about. The result: VERY satisfactory. The bra did exactly what every good quality bra should do: it restrained my breasts firmly and comfortably, it disallowed portions of them from popping outside the edges, it prevented unseemly wiggle, and it separated and lifted adequately; furthermore, the bra was physically attractive with a lovely lace layer that made me feel especially feminine and, dare I say it? seductive! My husband of more than twenty years certainly approved. The bra was perfect. What could I do then but order the remaining colors available in my size 44G? I ordered the black one (which dropped from $60 to $45 at the time of order), the purple velvet (also, dropped to $45 from $60), and the chocolate (that was $60 at the time, but I loved the bra so much and I really wanted the chocolate color); unfortunately, the navy blue was not available in 44G, but when it does become available in 44G, I will order it. I spent a total of $195 on bras! Shocking! However, the bras are certainly worth the expense. I will say that I am being very gentle in the way I clean my bras. I am opting to hand wash them and hang dry them in my bathroom rather than wash them in the washing machine or dry them in the dryer. I am sure this extra kindness to the bras is unnecessary, but it will keep my bras looking and feeling beautiful and comfortable. I recommend you try this bra. Start with the cheapest one and determine if it is the right bra for you. Happy bra hunting.
