fuck.

well, I assume you know what I meant.
underwear general.

Oo I need this thread.
I've been looking for a waist cincher for a while. The problem is I'm a petite shortie so it's difficult to find one that isn't up to my boobs or go past my hips. Corsets are too extreme for what I want, I just want a defined hourglass waist-- or a glorified belt. A lot of waist cinchers I've found look too boxy and bondage-y.


>pic related, what made me begin my search.

>>7409930
go to restyle .pl

they have the skeleton waist cinchers if you search a bit, although they are not exactly like the one in your gif

>>7409930
How short is your torso? Because being tiny doesnt mean you cant fit into normal underbusts. Generally though there isnt a big market in cinchers. I would suggest What katie did, they do have a baby corset that is a cincher.

so, my boobs grew, and I have no cute underwear. my bras are breaking from age and my sudden new bust, and I have a big ass that doesn't fit asian underwear.
where can I find cute underwear sets?

>>7409948
I'm not looking for skeleton ones, thanks though! I should have clarified.

>>7409972
Holy cow that's expensive. I want something preferably around 22 in in length, but shorter would be great since I'm really just defining my waist, not my entire torso. I'm thinking about just giving up until I have enough money to splurge.

>>7410028
have you looked at the cs-411 from orchard corset?

>>7410015
also, apperantly I'm a 28 F cup
where the hell do you shop for that?

anyone know a place i can get 28F/30E(DDDUS) bras that have lining, but minimal padding?

>>7410123
Wow I really like these. I was beginning to think I'll have to get them custom made. I'll have to save up, thanks!

>>7410139
28F = 30D = 32 C = 34 B

Try to find a 32C (I know it's not easy, I'm a 26D and I had to noodle around with bra sizes too. I ended up being most comfortable in a 30B) and then move up or down a size (or try changing cup or band sizes while keeping the other measurement the same) until you find what's most comfortable for you.

>>7410151
woah. super helpful.
why are bra sizes so weird?

>>7410139
Are you using European or American sizing? Because I know I was lucky enough that Victoria's Secret had a sister size that fit me (US 32DDD, EU 32F), so you might get lucky if there's one near you. If not, then you're most likely going to have to go to a boutique, because I can guarantee you that no one's going to have a band size that small (every department store I looked at, I was told that DDDD/FF was plus size).

>>7410151
Source for equal sizes? My boobs grew bigger and I've yet to measure the bra size, but I'm scared it'll be something weird that I can't find in the store...

>>7410151
>>7410153
Don't go for a 32 C, because I can guarantee you that it will not fit. In my experience, don't go more than two sister sizes up or down, because that's the reason why so many women are wearing the wrong bra size. Stick between a 32F and a 26G

>>7410153
Because they have to make bras based on average sizes.

Not many people will have a 28F, or a 26D, so it's a waste of money to make it for the company. So we have to deal with what we can fit in comfortably, and that just happens to be how the conversion usually fits.

>>7410165
I don't remember where it's from, I saw it in a hart in a thread like this a while ago.

Basically, for every cup size you go down, the band size goes up by 2.

So if you were measured at say, a 28E, it would be

28E = 30D = 32C = 34B = 36A


>>7410151
Also, balls, I skipped over E because I don't into alphabet.

So

28F = 30E = 32D = 34C = 36B = 38A (does 38A even exist?)

In my case it was 26D = 28A = 30B

>>7410177
Wow, what the actual fuck is wrong with my brain today?

*26D = 28C = 30B

I'd been wearing a 32A for years and was never very comfortable so I finally measured myself.

>>7410162
>>7410175
God damn I don't mean to keep bumping this thread, but for anyone who has no idea what they're doing when they're going bra shopping, here's a few things to look out for

>The gore (the thing between the two cups) should tack (be touching the sternum). If the gore isn't tacking, then the band is too big.
>The band needs to be completely parallel to the floor, so if you're able to pull the back down so it's the same place as the front, then it's too big
>if you have to rely on the straps at all, the band is too big (you should be able to take the straps off and still feel supported. Do a little wiggle if you have to)
>If there's any extra space at the top of the cup, the cup's too big
>If you get double boob, the cup's too small
If you think you have the right size (the band is tight and supportive, no double boob, etc.), then stoop and scoop, especially if you've been wearing the wrong bra size. To do this, lean forward, pull out the edge of the cup, and scoop the "back fat" into said cup. The "back fat" you'll commonly see is most likely just migrated breast tissue from ill fitting bras. I was trying on a US 32DD, and it fit fine until I did the "stoop and scoop", and lo and behold, it was too small.

How many bras do you own, cgl? I'll be honest, I only have a handful that I cycle through a few times each before washing. If they sold bras in bulk I would buy so many...

>>7410214
>The gore should tack

Yeah, no. I have very little body fat, and there's no possible way in HELL that could ever happen to me unless it was very much uncomfortably tight. The bands sit right in the cavity between the ribs. If you're super skinny like I am, that'll never happen without a LOT of discomfort.

>>7410221
I think I own like 8, but I only really wear three of them unless it's for a certain shirt that the others would stick out with.

If anyone is in the market for bras I have some really cute ones I'm selling from H&M that don't fit. Pic related on pink one white in 34B and one pink in 34A Make me an offer, they're originally $18 or so but I'd be willing to take like $9 or so.

>>7410233
dropped pic.

>>7410225
I realize that, anon, my sternum sinks in so even though the bra that I have now is a perfect fit, it's not tacking as it should. I listed it as something to look out for, and gave multiple ways to make sure that the band is still fitting right. I wrote it for the general populace, not for each specific case.

>>7410225
From experience, that's really not true. My underbust is 25" (and pretty obviously no fat covering) and while it's a pain and a half to find fitting bras (I buy mine from Asia where I can get a 65cm band size), the gore tacks and it's not uncomfortable at all.

>>7410221
I've got two pushups, two comfy/non-wired, one tshirt, one strapless, and one sportsbra. One of the pushups is convertible straps too.

>>7410221
4 regular bras I wear, 2 push-ups, and 1 bra that I can't wear because my mom bought it for me and the gore is too wide.

>>7410139
Seconding for a place to shop for smaller band sizes besides specialty stores that's going to run me $100 a bra? I'm aware of the equivalent sizes but I don't feel supported and like >>7410214 said,
>The gore (the thing between the two cups) should tack
but mine rarely ever is.

I wear the 32 band equivalent because they rarely make the 30 equivalent when I'm a 28.

>>7410233
what's the 34A one look like?

can we just dump cute underwear photos and say sources?
I think we should.

>>7410332
Do it. Especially if it's affordable.

Does anyone know a store that sells Japanese or bras/underwear as cutesy as Japanese ones that will fit a 32DD?

>>7410015
>buy bra too small

Fucking sucks.

>>7410410
>underwire
>bra underwire breaks and fucking starts stabbing you
>poor
>other bras start fraying and give you chronic itchyboob

I know that feel.

I had a strange experience with bras.

I've been wearing the same 32DD bras for about a year. they were pretty terrible and unsupportive from the beginning but I was used to it and didn't really notice.

On the last one of these threads, I found out I'm apparently supposed to be 30G which sounded ridiculous (underbust 29" overbust 37"). So I went to nordstrom rack and tried on two of every bra from 28DDD to 34B.

Turns out the best-fitting ones were the 32Cs. They were absolutely perfect - didn't ride up in the back, front band against my chest, underwire exactly in the right spot, etc.

After I got home I measured my chest with the new bras, and lo and behold the measurements changed enough that I now measured as a 30D/32C. My bust measurement shrank two entire inches! I guess it's because all the tissue is now supported and in the right spot. anyway I'm ecstatic I now have a 35" bust

tl;dr it's probably still worth trying on a million bras even if you think you have your "ideal size"

I really recommend that all of you please, please measure yourself for the proper bra size and get at least a few that will fit you correctly.
My whole life I'd been wearing a 32A, because those were the smallest I could find and I had super small small tits.
I happened across a video on Youtube about a year ago on how to measure yourself correctly, so I tried it out just for the hell of it. Turns out I'm a 26D. A D-CUP.
So I managed to find myself a few well-fitting bras and it made a huge difference. I don't slouch as much, my back and shoulders feel better than they ever have (all this pain I didn't know I was experiencing every day just vanished), and my flat, somewhat droopy chest is now perkier and bigger.
When you wear the wrong cup size, your breast tissue can get squished and deformed, which can turn into back, underarm, and side fat. Ill-fitting bras can also give you chronic headaches, permanent back and spine damage, and wear out your muscles! So please please look into it guys.

>>7410531
That bra size guide that's been circulating around recently has deemed me a 26DD (26" underbust and 31" bust).
I live near Atlanta, Georgia, and let me tell yah, I've been searching for months and the only sites that sell anything less than a 30C are either aimed at preteens or from the UK. Honestly, for the past years I've been buying 34B push-up bras and wearing them on the tightest setting, cause those were the most readily available and I always felt like if the cups didn't fit completely I could add in some extra padding.
So basically...
>>7410442
...where the hell is this Nordstrom Rack that sells all the way to 28DDD?

>>7410339
>>7410332
OP here. I fully support this.

lets start with
http://www.superorange.net/product/magical-girl-kawaii-panties

I'm an active tomboy that likes to wear compression/sports bras, are there any health risks in that? What are some good places to get quality sports bras?

>>7410547
I live in the pacific northwest. most people I see here are pretty thin. there were like 3 though, not exactly a great selection

But I've lived in Newnan, GA too. I can hazard a guess as to why they didn't have 28s down there.

>>7410531
My question is, where are you finding these <30 band sized bras? Anywhere that won't cost me more than $50 per bra?

>>7410606
I think the answer is going to be "no" until a significant number of people educate themselves on proper bra sizes, and start demanding more "realistic" and consistent sizing. One of the big reasons boutiques are able to go around doubling the price is because it's something you need, as well as pretty much selling to a niche market.

Shit sucks, and I'm just going to make my own bras. At least I'll know they fit, and can be made for cheap.

>>7409906
Where can I buy OP's image? Very cute.

>>7410398
I want cute underwear close to that size too. Help?

That feel when calculated bra size is a 38I... whelp, guess I should probably go get that fitted then.

>>7410733
Do they ship internationally?

>>7410606
OP you quoted there.
I just re-measured myself in Asian sizing and looked through Taobao and the like. I might be a 26D here, but I'm a B70 in China. Just make sure you don't use the conversion charts you can find around the web -- actually re-measure yourself according to that country's standards.

>>7410733
3990 Chinese Yuan equals
651.09 US Dollar

w-wut

>>7411074
Thats yen, ya dingus

(Happens to me too tho, after browsing Taobao for too long..)

>>7411075
i just pasted it into google haha
i didnt know google could ever be wrong

I think it's sold out, but it's cute as fuck anyways.

>>7410398
>>7410689
For bigger bra sizes I can only recommend Primadonna. It's a european brand though.
I got pic related for christmas, the bow is really cute and it's very comfortable. My bra size is 32F.

can we go back to posting cute undies?

what are some good american brands?

Cheapest place to buy steel corset boning? I bought the wrong size (somehow their ex are more than an inch short?) and I really don't want to spend $7 shipping on $8 of goods again.

>>7412087
Pleasure State is a bit pricey but they do both cute and sexy well and are very comfortable. They also go up to 32G in their VIP range.

this isn't cosplay or lolita related just a fucking girls thread

>>7412157
baww baww.

(psst, people need to wear underwear under their cosplay too, and there is specific underwear you need for certain cosplays, and underwear that helps you as a lolita, like binders, bloomers, and other shit)

To UK girls: John Lewis/Debenhams/M&S do sizes from band size 28, cup sizes D+, for affordable prices

>>7412157
men can also wear underwear, afaik?

>>7410785
Can you link to Asian sizing guides? the only ones I can find are conversion charts.

>>7412236

>>7412236
>>7412251
The chafing is why they're so upset. Poor naughty bits are irritated.

>>7412245
not that anon, but I did a quick google search in japanese and found this:
http://www.wacoal.jp/top/sizenavi/brs_msr_inp.html#
even if you don't speak nipponese it should be self-explanatory. top box is overbust, bottom is underbust. it gives your size and your two sister sizes, too. I have no clue if this is also good for taobao sizing though. maybe someone else knows?

>>7412157
It is VERY Lolita related. I dress from the skin out in frills and shapewear to complete my look. Might as well say makeup, hair and skincare "aren't related".
Idiot.

>>7412119
curvy kate and elle mcpherson are also very good
and check out the store herroom.com

>>7410738
Probably not.

>>7410583
Another PNWer here. Was that the Seattle rack? The lowest bandsize I've seen there is a 30, and there was only one. There was a modest handful of 32s, but none that matched my cupsize.
I'm also allegedly a 30D/32C, but I've only tried on two, which I ordered off of asos. I'd love to see more.

>>7412352
it was one of the seattle ones, yeah. honestly I'm not sure now, I thought I grabbed 28s but I could be wrong. next time I go to work I'll see if I can get pictures or something

>>7409906
anyone else reminded of vaporeon?

>>7410015
>>7410410
you need to be above 18 to use this site.

>>7412584
what the hell does that have to do with either of those posts?

>>7412584
bro i didn't really get the boobs part of puberty until i was 20 and they grew again when i started hormonal birth control, so

>>7412584
post you responded to. do you have a dick? do you not understand boobs can grow?
I went from an A to a C on birth control in 3 months.
I'm nearly 22 years old hun.

>>7412633
>>7412841
what the hell, birth control makes your boobs grow? never fucking heard of it. which ones do you take

>>7412846
Some people just have general weight gain on the pill, but you're adding hormones to your body's natural chemistry. So. Yeah. Many girls' boobs increase in size.

>>7412849
so which ones do you take?
do your boobs grow back to being small after you stop taking the pills?

>>7412852
I've been on three different kinds, including Loestrin24/Yasmin. They've worked best for me, but you should talk to your doctors to figure out which one would be suitable for you to use. Everybody's different.

The only time my bust size has gone down since I started the pill was when I lost a lot of weight due to being ill. Otherwise, they stay pretty steady compared to other weight loss.

These might be up someone's alley. Only 1490 yen.

Because of the red, it looks like a fish with the gills exposed.

I just buy bras in the right cup size but that are too big on the band size, then I just sew them in a bit.

I do, but I'm a guy.

>>7413339
Aw.

Still nice to have someone dealing with the same thing.

>>7413308
It's pink, bb

>>7413295
I actually really like this, but is there a reason none of these are below 70 for the band? I need a 65, and while the cup size options at nissen are great, the bands are all too big. I might just try a 70E or F and see if it works, though.
I want to wear these under Wonder Story.

>>7413342

I don't think you're going for the same effect, though.

>>7413360
I'm not overweight.

>>7413350
>>7413295
i grew kind of bored of nissen's variety (lack thereof). I've found that I fit nissen best at E80 or F80, but I've bought what I could from nissen and the rest are so...granny.

>>7413367
Thanks, now I'm thinking of some guy who's not overweight but with floppy tits desperately DDRing them off.

>>7413376
Haha, I'm a girl.

>>7413382
I know. I think I aimed the joke too high.

>>7412841
You know that beasts can keep growing well into your mid-twenties? BC can contribute to size a little, but it's more likely that you just weren't done growing yet.

>>7410214
I know I'm late on this but my ribcage is 29 inches (inb4 hambeast), and a 28 band size is too small for me. The closest fit I have found is a 30F, but there's still space on the top of the cup (a 30E or a 32E/F has too small of a cup with too big of a band).
I'm not sure what to do. It feels like I'm never going to have a bra that has a perfect fit. My breasts are quite droopy due to a rapid weight gain/loss- I'm not sure if that makes any difference.

>>7410547
If you have the cash (I'm talking like $100 per bra), there's intimacy in Phipps Plaza. You also have to be comfortable showing your naked breasts to the fitter, since they will stand there the entire time you try stuff on. (but it's kinda nice, cause they'll also pull all the bras for you, so no digging through 50 million bras that don't fit)

You might also have some luck with LiviRae in Kennesaw. The smallest band the carry is a 32, but they alter bands for smaller sizes. I was totally out of luck there, unfortunately, because even the smallest 32 A is usually too big (I not only have a small band, but also small cups. I'm like 28B/30A). Admittedly, I never tried getting fitted there, I just kinda gave up when they told me that was the smallest band they carried. I might give them another try, though, because all my current bras are starting to go.

Does anyone have the bra calculator link that we were all using a couple months ago? It had you punch in six or so measurements: bust standing up, bust leaning over, bust laying down and underbust inhale, underbust exhale, tight as the tape can go, looseat but not falling down. Something like that.
Am I ringing bells?

>>7413432
Try on a bunch of bras with a 30 band size, but different cup sizes until you find one that fits. I have shallow breasts, so I had to go with either a demi or balconette. It'll probably take an hour or more, but keep trying on different cup sizes, and different styles, and you'll eventually find something that fits. Just remember, though, that a 30D for one company is possibly a 28D for another, so you need to be persistent.

>>7413555
sizemapp! That was it. Thank you.

>>7412852
When I first started birth control, my boobs swelled up a whole cup size and a half, maybe more. Granted, they were so sore I couldn't even taken advantage of my new found borderline bustiness. They stayed like that for like two or three months, before going back to normal, but not before I bought a slew of a new bras.
After that, I did gradually gain another cup size or so, and that has stayed. I was about 17, though, so I may not have been done growing. Now I have the same ratio of over to underbust as my mom, so it makes me think that the hormones didn't actually make me grow, they just kinda sped up the remaining growing I already had in me.
Also, for me, birth control has actually helped me control my weight. It seems to make me fluctuate less, but I also have always gained weight almost exclusively in my butt and thighs, which is directly related to hormones.

To keep this from being a sage:
I don't know whether these would fall under "loliable", but Panache has bras that go all the way to 28K, and asos makes them pretty available.
http://us.asos.com/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=2176984

I've spent the last 3 or 4 hours reading all these bra guides and perusing all these unusual bra size stores and I want to cry.
According to the sizing guides, I'm a 26DD. The two closest "sister sizes" are 28D and 30C. They're fucking nowhere.
The band size is too small for most normal sites. The cup size is too big for most petite sites. The band/cup size combination is too small for most busty sites.
The handful I have found are the small bits of full-priced-ness among a majestic field of sales.
On one hand, I wish I could go back to willful ignorance of yesteryear. On the other hand, I've always known my bras don't fit worth a shit.

I hope this helps. Your size is what the world needs more of, and damn if I'm going to just stand by.

>>7414062
Figleaves and Brastop are going to be your friend for those sizes. They have frequent sales, and because they are based out of the UK, a good selection of sub-32 band sizes. I'm a 28D, and the majority of my bras I got from Figleaves. My favorite brand is Freya.

>>7414062
This is everyone's problem, anon.
I'm a 28E, and I've been able to find 30Ds without a ton of problems. It takes some searching, and you're going to have to pay a bit more, but you can do it.
Panache has a good selection, and Journelle carries a few brands that design bras with smaller bands/bigger cup. However, they are mostly fancy. I've yet to find a good basic bra in my real size.
The opportunity to just wear a sports bra is one little thing I love about dressing up in frills.

>>7410436
Oh my fucking god. Completely feel you guys on the underwire popping out. Jesus. especially when you're at work, it breaks out, and you have to keep shifting it back in place. I actually tried sewing above the wire once just to make the bra last longer :(

>>7413558
I also have a bunch of videos how how to fake bigger boobs.

I'm a 30DDD/E and I've always struggled with finding a bra that fits well. After a trip to Nordstroms I found the brand Panache, I absolutely love their Cleo line of bras and they fit from a 28 band to a J cup.

Unfortunately the company doesn't carry anything smaller than a D, but for the people on here with small band sizes and large cups it really is a good option. You'll have to google the exact styles to find sites to purchase the product from though.

>>7413432
a 29 inch ribcage does not make you a hambeast... It's actually smaller than what most bra places offer.

>>7413432
I'm a 32A and considered petite, so there is no way you are a hambeast anon...

can i get advice on how to choose a sports bra? i don't exercise, i just want it to wear under lolita. by american standards i am 36D.

>>7415296
Sports bras are typically sized just like regular bras, anon.

Just go buy one that's your size.

So I wear a UK 32E but according to these calculators I'm a 26 GG. Wat.

I literally cannot close a 30 band bra round my underbust but with a 32 the straps are doing all the work. I think my boobs are broken.

>>7415312
... Are you trying to close the bra on its tightest setting?

I'm a 26D, and a 32 on its tightest setting is too big, but a 30 on the middle or largest clip is perfect.

Or maybe you're making the straps too short?

>>7415296
You buy sportsbras by the band, so if you're 36D and you want to restrict, you should wear a 32.

>>7415322
No, with a 30 there's a definite gap between the actual ends of the straps. I'm putting it down to the fact that most UK bra manufacturers still do the "add 4-5 inches" thing, but it still makes no sense.

>>7409930
Im not sure if this will help but im also petite and have bought great corsets etc. here. --> www.draculaclothing.com and there is anlink to their site with all their more expe sive corsets and things like that.

>>7415330
Damn, that sucks. I'd say try buying from US manufacturers, because they tend to like... make the band size the band size.

Though importing them may be expensive as hell, at least they'll fit. I'd have to suggest Tarea brand, they're really great and pretty cheap. Only issue I've had with them is the padding moving around when I wash them, which is easily fixed. You can probably find them all over ebay with international shipping.

>>7415341
I'll have a look at them, thanks!

>>7415312
Please note that a UK 32E corresponds to a EU/JAP 70F. I'm assuming since you think that you're a 26, your ribcage is ~65 cm around. If we take the EU/JAP band size of 65, it converts to a US band size of 30, not 26. A band size of 26 would be suitable for someone 55 cm around, not 65. Perhaps try a different brand in a 30 band size?

>>7412272
Why are Wacoal's Japanese bras so much cuter than their American ones?

>>7414104
>>7414111
I know, I've been searching those sites and brands. What I meant was 28D is relatively rare even among rare bra size websites. Also, judging by the pictures, most of the bras are full coverage, which I know is important for bigger Ds, but not what I want/need in the slightest. And I think we have different definitions of paying "a bit more", because a majority of the bras on Figleaves are close to $100 each. Seeing as how I have zero bras that actually fit, that would rack up reeeeally fast.

>>7415341
What? US bras are the ones that are more inaccurate. A lot of popular retailers still do the wonky measurements thing. Pretty much all the websites linked here are UK based, because they seem a bit more together.

>>7412272
>calculates me as a G65
>I bought all my best fitting bras in Japan
>they're size C65
Japanese sizes are easy - bandsize is your underbust in cm (rounded to nearest 5), cup size is +1 for every 5cm difference between your underbust and bust.
My underbust is 63cm and bust is 88cm - thus, C65. The bras I have in that size all fit like a charm.

>>7412272

(deleted last post due to major typo, sorry)

>>7416285
Do you happen to have any European sized ones as well, and are they the same? I've been told that they're supposed to be equivalent, but when I measure myself in UK sizing then convert it I'm supposedly a 60E, but all the Japanese calculators give me 70C

>>7416285
Now I'm so confused!
I thought I was a B70, but then I used the Wacoal calculator and it says I'm an A70. But according to what you say, I AM a B70??
My underbust is 63.5cm, my bust is 74cm.

How do I hide my dick when crossplaying?
I've tried a lot of things and you can pretty much always see my package quite easily.

pls halp

>>7416453
Have you tried not wearing crotch tight stuff?

>>7416455
Yes, but I can't wear anything but dropcrotch without there being a bulge and it's getting quite problematic for crossdressing.

I can pull off skirts quite well though, so those aren't a problem.

>>7416453
Dancers belt.

>>7416441
You shouldn't be either, you're a B65

Looked it up and seems like a very possible solution.

Thanks broski.

fucking tuck it in + fashion tape it there

Does anyone know any good places for bralettes? Specifically ones that don't have the underwire.

Aerie sometimes has them (if anyone else is interested in them), but I'd like more options.

>>7416944
aight, I'm a smaller boobed anon so I haven't been looking for larger sized bra sets but hopefully there will be a couple or at least can set you in the right direction.

last one because i'm lazy today

>>7410221
Two that I wear regularly.

>>7410221
Ones that are my size/fit well enough despite not being my size I have 16. Only about 5 of them I wear regularly though.

My chest is pretty flat, and I'm sick of looking for bras that fit. I don't need much support, so I'm thinking of just buying bralettes.

But the search term in the Taobao dictionary gives me mostly bandeaus or actual bras. I want kawaii lacy stuff like pic related.

>>7416532
The dragqueen tuck-and-tape method with compression shorts on top would probably be better.

>>7417103
Those are exact kinds are readily available at most American stores, like Aerie, Pink, and VS.

>>7416341
Sorry, I don't have any European bras - only American (which don't fit that well because it's impossible to find my bandsize) and Japanese.

>>7416441
Like >>7416497 said, a B65 should fit you best, but A70 is a sister size and may be more comfortable (which is why the calculator lists it, I think).

>>7417253
Already checked these. My experience with the quality of VS is so terrible, I figured I'd just buy from Taobao.

>>7417283
Don't mean to push it, but Aerie does have a pretty good selection of bralettes. Also, I don't know what you searched on Taobao, but "bralette" gave me pages of these.

http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a230r.1.14.68.01Q1ZU&id=36407117972

>>7417103
I saw a bunch of these for $4 when I went out shopping today and I was like "if I knew this anon I would get it for her"
and searched through the bin until I found one like your picture.

where do you live? they're popular in america, about every clothing store I visited had them.

>>7417103
+1 for Aerie
32AA chiming in. Aerie runs small. I don't need support but hate showing nips -- their lightly lined bras do the trick. (hah, rhymed.)

>>7417103
I'm on the same boat and I have one from target kind of like the one you posted except it's not see-through. I also have a grey one that's shaped like a normal bra but with not underwire or padding. And the bottom strap is just lace.

I'm also 100% that American Apparel and Urban Outfitters sell ones exactly like your picture.

>>7417103
Forever21 has tons of these!

>>7413388
I saw what you did

>>7416497
>>7417270
Oh, thanks guys! That makes way more sense.

>>7413559
Again, very late on replying but thank you. The only ones I've ever owned are full cups; that'll change now. I'll try out some demi-styled bras and see if that works for me.

>>7414732
>>7415112
Ah, I know, it just seemed a lot /bigger/ than the other sizes posted on here.

>>7417361
That;s so cute, too bad they don't have a 30E.

I have no idea if this is the right thread to ask this, but how do you cosplay a busty character with a not-so-adequate rack? I've got a poor little pair of high-A's/small B's and I've never been able to get a good cleavage for cosplay. On top of that, I don't have a short, small, nor lithe form, so a lack of breasts is noticeable.
Push-ups help some, but are there other tricks to get a good illusion of a full bust?

>>7419919

Socks, implants (External ones, like forms or something) Wire bra? Fitted clothing/cosplay pieces could work too...

>>7419919
Google 'taped cleavage'. Just be careful, tape can make your skin react so patch test. Also be careful when removing. Padding will do the rest.

>>7419919
Use a silicone bra (backless bra, etc.), tilt them so that the clips in the center are down, and clip them together for maximum cleavage.
Wear a bra a few cupsizes bigger, and pad the difference with those bra implants. Use two pairs, one put in sideways on the side of your bust, one in the bottom. You can layer them if you need and buy more, or use less, depending on your proportions.
There we go. Big boobs, no silicone implants required.

>>7419919

How do the busty seagulls here find bras that fit online?

Doing my own measurements, I typically land on 28 GG, but I have no idea which sites would use the same standards that I measured by. Do I have to re-measure/recalculate every time I look at a new site?

I'm currently looking at Panache because I might be able to afford one from there, any experience with their sizing?

I've been wearing too small/none at all for a long time now, my tits are starting to hurt. I can't even fit into a single sports bra. Doubling up on bras for my cardio.

I was looking into getting a fitting at a local boutique, but the bras there appear to all be $70+, and I can't afford that.

>>7410436
I had a friend that this happened to, except the underwire cut her under the boob and it became infected. Eventually she had to slice it a bit to squeeze out all the puss.

>>7422748
How the flying fuck do things like this actually happen in real life? I'm filthy, poor and NEET and even I don't get skin infections from my clothes.

>>7413432
Droopy boobs make a big difference. I have a similar problem, but just naturally rank and saggy rather than due to anything proactive like your weight-loss, and the droopiness means I get gaps at the top of the cup like it's too big, and double boob/overspill from about half way. For years I couldn't figure out whether I was wearing too big or too small (turns out I was too big at the bottom and too small at the top due to the amount of sag). As weird as it sounds, using a chicken fillet to redistribute boob vertically kind of works. Just make sure the band fits and there's no double boob. The balconette style bra that comes from underneath and stops half way up over where the nipple is suppose to be works too, but they can be a bitch to find in bigger cup sizes

Not sure if this would be the right thread for this, but does anyone know where I can get a good binder for cosplay? Are any of the ones available on eBay from Chinese sellers good, or are they all iffy?

>>7416453

>doesn't push his testicales back up
>doesn't tuck his penis into his butt

This does the trick.

>>7410573
Ebay. I love the Shock Absorber Level 4 support ones, they come in 28-38 band and A-H cup, plus you can get them for about $10 each

Yet another bra question here.

The bra that fits me best is a 32E (UK size). However the band is too big and rides up during the day, and there's even a small bit of the cup that digs into the top of my breasts.

It says that my sister size is a 30F- a wooping 65G in my country- which is impossible, since I can't comfortable fit into 65F's without a lot of gapping. I'm not sure what /good quality/ bras I should be buying online, and since they're very costly, I'm too afraid to risk it.

I found an article that said you shouldn't take measurements bent over at the waist unless you have super saggy boobs

http://sophisticatedpair.com/blog/?p=9078

what do you think

>>7426935
You need a 30F with a semi cup. Also if you can't find demi, get strapless.

>>7421552
You seem like the Anon to ask about this... So with all those front-clasp bras, what can you do if you have uneven boobs? I'm talking Low B and a D, here. I can't seem to get a good amount of participation on the one side to get a good even cleavage.

are you me?

You're going to have to use some type of Chicken Cutlets, bra inserts or padding.

These are super good and don't feel bad if you have to double or use different ones to get your desired effect

Would those kinds of bras eliminate gapping at the bottom, too? (This only happens when I wear 30F+, and not the 32E)

>>7428804
Have you tried a 30E as well?

places with kawaii adorable detailed designs like pic related that carry 32H?

>>7410733
Can anyone help me with the sizing of this? I wear a 32B (US size), I'm a bit confused.. sorry if it's obvious

>>7431961
As far as I understand it, Japanese sizing is:
Underbust in cm = band size - round to the nearest 5
Cup size = every 5cm difference between your overbust and band is one cup size

So my underbust is 68cm and overbust is 80cm. I round to the nearest 5 for underbust (70 band) and then since my overbust is 10cm bigger than band size, that's a B cup. So I wear a 70B in Japanese sizing. The "western" size that fits me best is usually an 8B/30B

>>7431985
Why do you say western size? Japanese sizes are the same as european sizes, the ones you listed is like england and france only.. >>7431961
But probably 70B or 70C, it's difficult to know exatly since us sizes can be full retard.

>>7431993
But likely 70C i'd say

>>7431070
..I haven't. Good idea! Currently saving up to buy various sizes/shapes online. It was hard enough finding a 30FF in stores.

>>7431993
Because I'm an antipodean and we use US/UK sizing

>>7431985
>>7431993
>>7431996
Thank you so much for the help! I don't know much about this sort of thing so without it I'm sure I'd have gotten the wrong size..
I'm somewhat between an A and B, so I may go for the 70B.

>>7432772
mm, but my underbust is 71cm and my bust is 81cm so perhaps the 75B?

Any busty anons order custom bras, and if so, from where?

>>7432819
when you measure 68-72 cm underbust the band size should be a 70!

>>7417103
Same, I really want to find the search term on taobao.

I wear bralettes as well. I have really perky shallow breasts and a tiny band size, but a D cup. Heads up to other girls like me, bralettes are really awesome. Got mine at target but I want kawaii ones on taobao.

>>7431070
..so I eventually did find a 30E in a shop, it was a full cup and didn't fit me. It had overspill and just simply dug into the upper area and was extremely uncomfortable.

Welp.

>>7428325
Ahah, I'm more or less the opposite. Going through airplane security is a hassle; I've found myself not shaving for a week to avoid any inconvenience.

Nearly shot myself in India though.

>>7437086
Try a 30G and if you have a the top cup empty, go for a strapless bra that comes with optional straps or a demi cup

Does anyone know a place that sells pink shimapan? Thanks!
