I live in mortal terror that something will happen to one of my "good" bras. Has anyone been successful in finding D-cup bras here? Shape enhancing & pretty to look at too much to ask? I tried some online retailers that I usually rely on but one wouldn't ship any lingerie here, another only sells it in shops but not online : (

Do you know anyone in your home country who can ship things for you?

I bought some in Marks and Spencers a couple of years ago. Crazy expensive but I guess it depends how desperate you are! If they dont have any in they might be able to get them for you (though you might need a korean speaker for that!).

Victoria's Secret ships. It costs about $30 for standard, 10 day or 2 week shipping, and about $50 to get it in a few days. Just be careful to order under $130 worth, or you may have to pay customs and have them held up for a while.

BYC has D-cup bras-- not sure of their quality though.

Also, GAP ships internationally, but if you go that route, you're better off shipping it to a home address and then having friends or family repackage and mail it to you-- paying international shipping directly from the store is at least twice as expensive as having your mom mail it.

They have FREE international shipping and tons of great brands and a wide range of sizes in womens clothing, lingerie, shoes, jewelry and accessories. Shipping usually takes 1.5 weeks. Keep your order under 150,000won to avoid duty and taxes. Great stuff, I love them!

Reasonably priced shipping, tons of brands and sizes for lingerie. I buy FREYA for all my bras. Well made, super pretty and big cup sizes! Shipping is usually 7-10 days, not business days.

I agree with Figleaves, they are great. Have ordered from them a couple of times, though my latest package is currently stuck in Korean customs - as a previous poster said, keep it under 150,000!

I think this is actually the best option if you've got someone to ship it for you. That way it doesn't look "new", it's just a care package from home and you don't have to worry about duty and taxes.

Sometimes it can be burdensome on people to mail you things, so you might not want to go this route.
