ISO of a 36dd, 36d, 38d of Panache Sports bra for a friend. Can't spend much, so the ones on eBay are out. Preferably $20 or less.

Yes, I know I can do that, I was hoping if I posted an ISO, someone might decide to part with theirs that they didn't have listed. :) thanks!

I got a Masquerade Rhea, and I love it, but it's too tall. I know it's possible to make an unpadded bra lower cut, but what about a padded bra?

DAMARIS make really pretty maternity bras. I am not a mom yet so I don't have much experience about these things but my impression of maternity bras are these worse-than-grandmas-undies kind of garments. I get that being comfortable is nr 1 when feeding your child but considering that a lot more people and strangers will see your maternity bra compared ... to how many would see your regular bra.. then maybe having it look this classy and covered up is a plus for comfort. Not saying you shouldn't be free to show as much skin as necessary when your child is eating, but if you prefer it being a bit more covered than this is a really pretty way to solve that.
they do however only come in bandsize 32 and up so when its time for me to get one I'll have to have gained some weight to go up those 4 bandsizes.

YES! I love the mimi holliday ones, and have even considered getting one as they are frequently on sale, even though I'm not planning to have kids withing AT LEAST 10 years haha
Eh. I fear the material wouldn't be able to hold up to the beating that a good nursing bra takes. Hotmilk is prettier, in my eyes, but the bralette look is interesting. Looks like it would be comfortable during pregnancy, anyway.
I am soon to be done nursing twins and looking to start wearing some non nursing bras. I have given up trying to find small band sizes in the stores, but I don't know where to start online. Imused to wear a 32c in Victoria's sevret but now that is too small in the cup. A ... 32d fits ok in their sports bras but I haven't tried any others. I took all my measurements and entered them into this sit but don't know how to equate that to the measurements given of the bras. Also, where do you all buy from? I'm in the US. anyone want to help a newbie out?

Gorsenia bras, you look like a miracle bra for me!
I think I might try my luck on the Ti Amo style in a 32DD.
It has all the little things pulled from all my favorite bras all in one!
Lightly padded, 3 cup seems, low plunge!!
Is this one of the infamous "polish" brands you all were talking about that I needed for my shape???
Sets US by Gorsenia. Sets EU by Gorsenia. This is how all our Gorsenia products are packed: stylishly, carefully and with attention to every detail.

Gorsenia is wider than most of the other polish brands (except maybe Samanta and Ewa Bien), but they are very nice bras. My limited experience is that they run slightly larger in the cup and snugger in the band than their UK counterparts, though I'm not sure if that is true in this size range or the padded styles. They are a polish brand though, and the ones I've tried had a heavenly fabric and a nice construction, but the padded styles don't go up to my size, so can't offer any particular insight there. All I get to have is unlined balconettes, apparently, but they're still pretty. :)
haha, yeah, i'm the opposite, i can't find any unlined bras that fit me... if they are wider then eureka! i have yet to find a wire that is wide enough for me. :)
the only thing that worries me is that they have 32DD and 32E*smaller, sizes to choose from and I picked the 32DD, I hope that was right?

Cleos fit me so well it's not even funny (particularly Lily and Marcie). I want to venture out and buy more brand but have no idea where to start. The only non cleos I've really tried are Freya Deco, Panache Floris, and Comexim Basic, all of which have an average fit on me (except the Comexim, which fits wonderfully). All ... my bratabase recs are, predictably, Cleos, because that's most of what I've tried. Where do I start?! For reference, I wear a 32F and have even, fairly soft breasts, and on the narrow side of average in terms of root width.

Ewa Michalak SM bras?
Steer away from Freya then. They have totally different cup widths.
You might want to try Curvy Kate, Flirtelle and Ewa Bien, these have fairly similar cups widths as Cleo (Ewa Bien being my fave, since it's darn cheap compared to Masquerade or Fauve but still has that luxurious feel to it :)

I found this on YouTube this morning. I don't know what to think of this guy "Don McCunn"? He says in the video that underwires are suppose to act as a lever. Pulled back on the side from the backband which in turn, holds the center gore close to the body. I guess that is ... right. I just never thought of it that way.
So, about this "Bust-sling bra? No underwires? It straps around the neck. And with no support from the band , all of the weight of your boobs is pulling down on the back of your neck. That seems like it would be kind of painful to me. And what would support your boobs from bouncing side-to-side?
It seems like he had some good points but a lot of support factors are left out in this design.
What do you all think about this "Bust-sling bra?"

Oh that poor girl. That 'open neck bra' they have her in first is barely covering her nipples, forget about support. And yeah, there's no way I'm letting a bra use my neck to hold up these boobs.
Looks like a horror to me. First of all, does that first bra even fit her? Maybe it's my eyes playing tricks because I don't see that style much, but it looks like if she takes a deep breath she's going to pop right out. Not exactly a fair comparison, if you're intentionally putting her in a style of bra that the bra you've designed is not intended to compete with. It would be far more appropriate to compare this to one of the fuller coverage bras that he claims this is meant to be a replacement for. In which case, I think you would notice immediately that there is MUCH more fabric near the neck of this than any full cup or balconette I've ever seen. Could you even wear this with a standard V neck tee without the bra poking out at the sides of the collar? I can't imagine very many tops this would be suitable for short of a crew neck or turtle neck. Even a standard scoop neck wouldn't work with this, even if the concept of leveraging the bra from the shoulders actually made practical sense. (How many of us loathe halter neck swimsuits because they're horribly uncomfortable? Even my mother can't stand them and she's a small bust.)
I'm all for interesting bra innovations if they're starting with a comparison to a bra that is the right size and shape, but this looks to me like he's intentionally showcasing his invention against a bra style it's not intended to replace. Could that be because he knows that the bra it IS intended to replace is far more practical for everyday wear?

Guys, I just listed a bunch more stuff (god I have been lazy about measuring lately!) And, am offering free US shipping on all of my listings for the next few days as an added incentive to buy my stuff. Still have to charge shipping if your overseas, but would be willing to ... do reduced shipping for Canada.
I am trying to sell anything I can get my hands on right now to fund the purchase of a guitar that will only be on sale for a little longer (lol. something I want to buy that's not about my boobs for once. ), so am trying to scrape together some cash to fund it while supplies last (I just need to sell maybe...3 more bras to cover it. haha). Will be willing to negotiate some if you buy more than one thing, or on things I've had listed for a while.
This is what I've got at the moment:
28GG Freya Ivy - Used
30GG Bestform Panama - well worn
30GG Panache Veronica Tankini (paisley)
XS/8 Panache Veronica fold over bottom (paisley)
30H Fantasie Esme - NWOT
32FF Curvy Kate Gia - NWT (have one blush, one black)
34H (US sizing, approx 34FF/32G UK) - Parisa Fe Body Veil - NWT
32G Charnos Isabelle - NWT
32H Cleo Darcy - NWT
34G Freya Rio - Used, but not by me
70J Comexim Paradise - Used
30H Shock Absorber 4490 - Lightly Used
30HH Shock Absorber 4490 - worn once
Some of these run a bit smaller in the band - like the Parisa (which awesomely has 4 hooks!), and I think the Charnos, too. The Comexim Harriet is probably closer to a 65 than a 70.
(might also still have the harmony and princess I have listed, but they're pending, so tentatively reserved)

So I am starting my fitting journey again! I have recently upgraded my Silicone implants to High-Profile 800cc from Moderate-Plus 400cc. Without implants I suspect I would have been about a 28E(as I never properly fitted myself I just wore a 32C), first set of implants brought to a 28G and now this set has me to what I suspect ... is a 28J. I placed a large order to Comexim (Included Gina, Poison, Ingrid, Irish Coffee, Brigitte, Arizona, & Ginger) all were ordered in a 60L with Reduced gores, cups and with 3x3 Hook and Eyes. Hopefully they fit! I am an open book about my implants and the process surrounding it.
Currently I am sometimes shoving myself into a Honey Deco in a 30GG which I quad-boob, the wires wrap halfway around my back and have empty bottom of the cups due to lack of cup depth. So I often find myself just wearing those stretchy bralettes, so comfy but no real support. So hopefully these Comexim work much better! and get here soon.

Jesus! And I thought puberty was hard for me.
I remember getting made fun of for not wearing a bra my last year of elementary school because my nipples started to become obvious in shirts, but I didn't start wearing one until middle school when I had to change in front of people for PE. I remember going to Victoria's ... Secret (ugh) for my first fitting and the fitter said "you're not old enough for a push up bra yet, so let's just find you something that'll give you a good shape." at the time that totally offended me because i was so totally ready for a push-up bra, but now i find it disturbing because ummm why are we worrying about the shape of a 13 year old's breasts?
Who else has nightmare stories of boob development? Has anyone here had a breast reduction? I've only met one person that has. She was a K cup and had terrible back pain.

Maybe if I had stuck it out until the phase of life when breasts are useful, I'd be singing a different tune. But I doubt it.

Sounds like it was very difficult for her. And as she said, kids can be phenomenally cruel. I started to have a little boobage at puberty. It was so embarrassing.
I just couldn't believe the part about throwing pennies at her... that seems like some shit that would happen in a movie, but real life... jesus.

I don't know if y'all know that fit fully yours is pretty darn good at providing moulded foam cups at larger sizes in sensibly narrow wires, but they are. And if you're in Southern California, you should head to South Bay boobology (check website for days & hours) in the greater long beach area to check out the fit.

I may or may not have gotten... 5 bras in the mail today...
My mailman must think I'm crazy! lol
I got 28F Panache Andorra Plunge, 30E Curvy Kate Desire, 30DD Cleo Neve Plunge, 28E Cleo Meg, 60H Comexim Carnival Biustonosz! After putting them all on quickly, they pretty much fit. All of them. I think the Meg is the best ... and the Andorra and Carnival are the worst. I *think* they are all mostly wearable though! I'm going to go through and measure and try them on again, but HOT DAMN I'm excited!
The Desire is one of my favorite bras, but I think I just have to admit that my shape has changed too much to wear them anymore. I loved the Andorra full cup, so I expected the plunge would be similar... no avail. There is puckering and it's not as supportive as the full cup. The Neve Plunge I was very surprised about! It gives crazy va-voom cleavage but I am clearly too big for it. It's super comfortable though even though it's not right. The Carnival - man is it pretty! It is too shallow for me though, which means cleavage! I'm pretty sure it would fit someone who is shallow with tall roots.
Then there is the Meg. I could probably use the cup size bigger, but this bra is super comfy! I got it under the impression it was NWOT but it's clearly been worn (not in a bad way, just a fact). I love the soft coral color and don't even mind that the accents are pink.
Now to decide which ones need to find new homes and which ones are 'good enough' for my shape. Why can't I just have an arsenal of bras?

You could rip off the button, pinch a tiny center bit, stitch it up, and then reposition the button?
For future hunts, perhaps a lower gore & plunger cup will help? In your size paradigm, tutti rouge does a really good job of making bras with a youthful and charming aesthetic.
ElectricBarbarella I don't understand. Why would she want a lower gore and more plunge-cup? The cups seem to fit her very well. She fills them with no quad-boobing. The only complaints she has are the too-wide gore and the wires poking under her arms.

I just finished my order my next target is comexim! Oh yes!
fingers crossed! hope it fits!

so i submitted 3 fit requests.
please help me figure out my cup size.
my boobs hate me.
they are soft, full on top and center, close together when supported.
the are shaped like croissants/half moons when not supported.
no matter what i do i get empty space at the bottom of the cup.
molded/lightly lined cups are the only thing that really works on me, ... because i'm so shallow and wide.
soft cup bras always give me either:
orange in a glass
or
smashed/flattened boobs with empty space at the bottom
if i actually find a soft cup bra that fills the bottom, the top ALWAYS gapes.
help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
