If you believe that "Double Ds are HUGE!", please read on. DD is an extremely common bra cup size. ...well, it's commonly needed, but unfortunately, it's not commonly sold. This is because bra companies lie. Companies like Victoria's Secret make a very limited size range, and then use horribly inaccurate sizing methods to squeeze women into bras that don't fit. About 80% of women wear the incorrect bra size, and most probably don't know it. They are taught that bras are 'meant to be uncomfortable'; that 'band sizes below a 32 are for someone incredibly skinny'; that 'double Ds are ginormous!' These are all lies. Women needing band sizes below a 32 are incredibly common, as are double Ds and above. Bras that fit should also be comfortable. Don't believe me? I was sized at a 32D. I wore the bra for a day or two, then went braless until I could replace it, because it hurt my back and shoulders and rendered me almost unable to sit up straight. I had been told that this was my size. I had been told that this was normal. But I did some research, and it turns out I was lied to. I found that I was a 28G (I've now changed sizes slightly), and once I found and bought and wore bras in that size, I was finally happy with my bras. The pain was gone. If you are in the wrong size, you may have gotten used to the pain and therefore no longer notice it, but trust me: you will notice when it leaves. Please- wear a bra that fits. :)

Edwards & Millers

Edwards & Millers.  Oh my god.

Here's their website: http://www.edwardsandmillers.com/blog/

This soon-to-launch company is making 26-34 bands with DD-M cups.  No custom ordering.  Actual 26 bands.  I am excited.

They are also making longlines.  I have been desperately lusting after longlines for a while now.

I am so, so excited.

If my tone sounds unexcited, note that 1.) I have been excited for a quite a while about this and am just posting this now, so a bit of the excitement has worn off and 2.) I'm so excited that I'm not even caps-locking about it because I'm just in awe.

The starter of the company herself is a 28K, so she's definitely focused on what she calls BBSB women- big breasts, small back.  She understands what we need in a bra and won't exclude us.

Check out these awesome interviews:

    This is weird. My name is Cat and I am also a 26GG who has been advised to wear ill-fitting 28G bras. The struggle is real.
