I'm a 30G UK size which is hard enough to find here. Does anyone know if it is possible to find anything of that size in Korea or can anyone advise me on where I might be able to get some specially made?

Hi,

No you won't get that size in Korea. A 'c' cup can be hard to find-Koreans are generally a flat chested bunch. However I ship all my bras (32F) from www.figleaves.com who ship to S.Korea for about $8.

But for sure pack plenty.

I have never seen big sizes over here.

However, there is a very good mail order company based in the UK who will ship overseas. I recommend checking them out. The name is bravissimo and they have a catalogue which they will send you or check out their website.

yah bravissimo are pretty good but figleaves stocks bravissimo bras and has a much larger selection.

[emmajuno]

Ah, thanks guys!

Yeah I go to Bravissimo here I just was hoping to be able to get them from somewhere I could try them on. Still, it's nice to know I can get them shipped over.

I heard that Apgujeong is actually the best place to shop for large bra sizes due to the fact that all the plastic surgery clinics are concentrated in that neighborhood

[emmajuno]

Haha! That's fantastic. I think it's unlikely that they'll go up to my size but it's worth a look. Thanks!

Probably not exactly the answer you're looking for but you can always try Lane Bryant Online:

I'm also a 32 GG. It's a pain in the butt to find bras back in canada. Here in korea it's simply not possible other than online.

Mention here of Apujeong. Any more details avaiable?

And yes, i've tried Aimer feel. They actually did have some that were rather close to my cup size. But they fit really strange. I prefer not having my boobs in my face.



A question for those who shop online.....

how do you get the fit right? I know that you can get your size and such, but i have to try on at least 25 different bras in my size before i can find a single one that fits me propperly. How does this work online? Also, sizes can vary slightlly from store to store. How do you know that you are even getting the right size, let alone the right style?




In a country with this many tailors, surely there is someone somewhere that makes this? I have actually heard that underwear isn't uber uber hard to make. If someone started making bras for foreigners here, they could do quite well for themselves i think.

next time you are in a western country, go to a bra store that stocks a brand carried by figleaves or bravissimo (the underwire experience, also uk-based) is good too. Find two or three styles that fit well. re-order these styles whenever you need new bras, for the rest of your time in Asia.
