good lord. After breast feeding 2 kids my boobs are literally almost nonexistant. My ribs however are a 38, or according to bra measurements I'm supposed to wear a 40 or so. I am fit and not overweight at all.
Does anyone out there have a CLUE where to buy a bra? I can't find my size ANYWEAR and I have got to think there's small chested women like runners/swimmers who's backs are wider out there????? The smaller bra online stores only go up to 36 or 38!!
Please keep suggestions coming: nordstrome does NOT carry it
I have been professionally measured.... Victoria Secret doesn't carry it either
It's probably a bit of a hike for you but Tina's Closet carres EVERY size. She will measure you correctly and you won't believe how good the girls can look...LOL. She keeps your info on file so if you like the bras and want to get it in a different color etc you can order over the phone and have it mailed.
Carson's and Macy's both go up to 44. I've bought them recently.
Try Schwarts' in Skoikie...they have all sorts of sizes and are wonderful there. They'll measure you and get you the support you need. I too have the incredible shrinking boobs...ugh! Good luck!

Believe it or not, Lane Bryant! Even though you're skinny, they will have a nice bra for you. They carry Cacique and it's a nice quality and they regularly have sales so you can say, buy 2 get 2. But they will have a 40 A or B easily plus you can find many different styles. They do free measurements, too.
Good luck!

I hear you about non-existent. Same for me after b-feeding 2 kids. They need support too, so I went to Victoria Secret's and got measured, and bought 2 super padded bras that support. When I wear them, it actually looks like I have my boobs again. LOVE THEM!!
Nordstrom seems to carry something for everyone. I would try there.
You need to go somewhere that will size you. There are smaller shops around that do it for you - Knickers in Glen Ellyn, Tina's Closet in Lisle. Look in your area for one of those.
You could also look at some sports catalogs like Champion and see what they have or go to some runners websites for ideas. Even if you don't want a sports bra, they might have a link to a bulletin board that could be helpful.
I went to Victoria's Secret after I had my last kid and they were useless. The sales girl wasn't sure how to measure me!
Good luck!
A great place in the city is a store called Trousseau. They have every size you need and are very helpful. They also have all price ranges.. probably starting around $60. The store is on Southport close to Addison.
I was wearing what VS told me my measurements were 34C for years and after getting properly fitted, I was a 32D. The bra transformation was amazing! Highly recommend.
Nordstrom is good too, you just have to hope that the employee knows what they are doing!
I would try Victoria's Secret. It worked for me.
