Are you kidding me?

I got all excited, seeing a sports bra on Steep and Cheap! Whoo-hoo! 59% off! Looks great! They have a "large" in stock! It's a miracle! Until I checked the size chart:

Sugoi Bridget Bra
Large = 36B-38A

I am a 36 D! How dare they call 36B a large?!? Sheesh. The boobage, oh, the boobage.

[HeatherErin]

Hmmm....wouldn't consider myself "large" chested. But now I gotta go check that out!

Well, yes, it would be an unexpected bonanza for the less-well endowed! They had mediums and larges when I was there a few minutes ago. But you know SAC...good luck!

Hmmmm, I feel for ya Lise as I am a 34D and have a heck of a time finding one that feels good. I wonder if it's a guy designing those or something. All they did was make the chest sizing bigger but kept the cup size the same on them.

less endowed here and yes, it was a bonanza

Oh, to be able to order a "large", for my flatter than flat chest... *wistful*

Sounds like my discovery this morning. Land's End classes a 38C as a "full figure" bra. No dears, full figure bras are for at *least* a D cup, and even that is dicey.

Where do they get these notions that real women only have chests C cup or smaller?

I hate shopping for sports bras because the cup is always too small for the chest band. I wear the same size as you.

But I just bought a couple of Zoot Runfit Bra tops in large and they're wonderfully comfortable and even cute. It's about the only Zoot product TE doesn't carry.

That's funny, I have th opposite problem. No problem buying sports bras, but try to find a regular bra and I can't find one in my cup size that will fit around my torso.

And I'm a size 4 to 6 and large Zoot stuff fits me sometimes, at other times I need an XL.

All I wear anymore are sports bras, because I can't wear anything with the hint of a cup. Why do they all (I mean regular bras) now have to have a ridiculous padded thing that just stands out from my body, looking all unnatural? I just can't find any that fit - about once a year when I'm at Penney's I try on a few, and leave in disgust and discouragement.

Veronica: "Only" a B?

Oh, well. I can run without any discomfort (well, in that area, anyway). Since I'm 41 years old, I don't think this is going to change.

Try Patagonia. I get all my bras from them now. Sometimes they have web specials. The colors can be a bit funky...

Fellow A here - I like "Barely There" myself - though they keep changing the style on me so I don't have any that are specifically like this one

(they still have the microfiber "boy shorts" that are my absolutely favorite panties though!)

[Veronica]

Yeah, but you're tiny everywhere! So it's okay. Sturdy girl here needs to have boobage to compensate for piano legs.

They just get in the way...

And make it hard to buy clothes that hangs nicely -- garment makers build tops for B cups, didja know? -- this makes stuff hang, well, funky, from bigger boobage! Causes "pit buckets" on sleeveless tops at the arm holes, and strange folds there on stuff with sleeves....

On the other hand, grandbabies do enjoy "pillows" when snuggling!

While we're on the topic- does anyone know of a good large-boob/small-torso bra that provides a lot of support and doesn't have clasps or snaps that make it look like underwear?

I used to get the Road Runner Sports C/D cup one, but they only have the tank-top version of it on their website now. I'm a 36 or 34D (depending on the brand), and I want something I can wear by itself but that will still protect my "investments."
