Why don't more stores sell bigger bra sizes?
It seems as if most stores only carry up to DD. Why is that? I don't get it. No wonder it's been said that a lot of women are wearing the wrong size. I've just recently started noticing this after being fitted at Nordstrom, thanks to this board! I bought two at Nordstrom, where it seems I'll be buying most of my bras from now on, but they were so expensive. I found one at The Rack and got really lucky finding one at Marshalls over the weekend.

There are plenty of online stores that sell them too. Once you find a brand/ style that works for you, it is really easy to reorder elsewhere.
biggerbras.com and figleaves.com are pretty popular sites.
Stand up for something you believe in.
All I know is I hate it! Its Fing annoying. I hate only being able to find pretty bras online. My favorite site is http://www.lindasonline.com/. Occasionally I'll find stuff on freshpair.com for less. Brasandhoney is awesome but really $$$. It seems like the UK has a lot more options of pretty bras in large cup sizes.
I was a 34 DDD before having DD2. It's nearly impossible to find, even online. I never thought I'd be so happy to wear nursing bras- they are easy to find in my size.
that's currently a test, if it goes well more stores will get DDDs. As an associate at VS I can tell you that there isn't the demand to carry over a DDD, and my boss is an H! But she is a rarity, it's a lot of money to put those sizes out knowing they will just sit there. Also, there isn't a demand in most stores to carry 40 and above.
I'm a 30D, which can be frustrating, but I have to understand that there aren't very many women my size, so I wear a 32D in the bras that actually carry it in the store, and order others.
Basically if you're a DDD, buy them up, so stores like mine can get them too
