Nordstroms. They are expensive, but excellent. I bought 2, and I've been wearing them for 15 months. I throw them in the dryer and they still look good. Hope this helps.

You are in luck. Ann's Bra Shop is an excellent custom bra shop in Chesterfield, Missouri, where you can find a good variety of bras and people who know how to fit you well. Before I had reduction surgery, I was wearing KK cups. Ann's was the only place I could get what I needed and I always received the best service and products. Their nursing bras were excellent. You can visit Ann's website at: http://www.brashop.com/

Bravado makes some great nursing bras in that size, they are available at www.breakoutbras.com or www.figleaves.com. Both sites have lots of really good options for those of us who need larger sizes (I'm a 36G) and they offer either free or inexpensive shipping and good return policies.

Oh girl...preaching to the choir!! With my first pregnancy I was an H, with my second a size I, and yes, they sure do make them that big!! LOL..so I hear you.

After my debacle with Motherhood I never bought bras at any of those stores EVER AGAIN! Nordstrom's is a good suggestion, but they won't have a nursing bra is stock. I went there for a regular bra while still pregnant and she said she could definitely get me a nursing bra but would have to order it. They are expensive, but well, well worth the money in my opinion.

I have heard of that Anna's bra shop (and I'm in KC) actually and it does sound great...maybe check it out. Both nursing bras I got were the Bravado, so maybe you can order them on line, but I would hate for you to spend the money without being measured by a professional. If possible, I would go into a store so you can have a second opinion. In general, I don't buy any bras any more without a "fitter" b/c it just results in me wasting my money and not being happy.

Once you are done nursing, go back to Nordstrom's and get a regular bra after being fitted. It will change your life, I promise!! ;)

Online. I wore a 38G and could only find them online. I ordered from JC Penney and liked the Medela ones and I think the Playtex soft-cup.

Ann's Bra Shop is great. Skip Kohl's - they don't carry nursing bras in the store anymore. Already been there myself. :)

Try Claire de Lune in hawthorne plaza (119th and Roe, next to Chipotle) I'm in a 36H nursing bra with underwire which I LOVE - I just ordered 2 more. They have some nursing bras in stock, but can order you in anything you want. They run about $60, but are wonderful and worth it for our size. If you go this week, you might be able to use 20% off with the "Back in the Swing" card (for breast cancer awareness) Good Luck

I'm about the same size as you. between an F and G. i have to get all my bra's online at amazon or ebay. You will want to shop around to fine cheaper ones since you won't use them forever.

Try Burlington Coat Factory. Not only do they have almost everything you could ever want or need for your bundle of joy in their Baby Depot, they have an excellent selection of cute maternity clothing. I got my nursing bras there for only $8.99 each. Their prices are very reasonable. I can't speak to whether or not they have an "F" cup, but I wouldn't be surprised if they do-they seem to have just about everything else. I don't know where Washington, MO, is. The only BCF I know of is in KC North on Antioch & Chauteau. I think you can shop the Baby Depot and maternity online at burlingtoncoatfactory.com. You might also want to check K-mart and any nearby secondhand/thrift stores. Good luck.

I don't know size wise but Kangaroo Kids in Glendale carries some great nursing bras. You will find better quality bras there than you will find at the shops that you mentioned. Someone mentioned Bravados. I think they carry these as well. KK is locally owned, provides lactation support, they have nursing moms play groups, and are also a great upscale resale shop.

I have no affiliation to them other than they let our birth support group hold our meetings there. The owners are also super nice. It is the only place I have ever been where the husband feels equally comfortable providing lactation support when needed.

If nothing else it is worth a call to see if they carry the size you need.

Good luck.
