How about one of the most popular models back in the day, Chloe Vevrier?

Interesting lady! (Amazingly beautiful too). It looks like she’s gotten bigger over the years - she must be in her late 40s/early 50s now. She seems to have started off around the 34GG/H category (I found a pic of her wjth Danni Ashe, who I’m pretty sure was a 32FF, like me, in her prime), but as the years have gone on, she’s increased. Probably something like a 34/36 back and up in the J/JJ category now - but I wouldn’t be surprised if she was something like a 34KK.

Is she still modelling?

She is, but as Big Banana should have realized if he had been paying attention to the Forum's Rules, posting unmorphed photos from her website like the one he did are strictly forbidden here.

That post was removed by Big Banana  himself or the moderator.

Good. We've already lost thousands of posts from literally decades of work by hundreds of us, we don't need to poke the bear any more.

Hey, Margaret, have you checked out Pamelia J yet? This video shows her trying out a Curvy Kate bra in an O cup.

It’s an EU O Cup, but the bra itself is a 38K (UK size). She’s a 16K in Au sizes. Curvy Kate only make bras up to KK.

It’s a nice try - she’s a big girl, but she’s not an ‘O’ cup.

I hope all had a great Christmas.

Today I have this young lady for the challenge.

There is a not-so hidden clue in the picture.

Probably something like 38/40GG

Ah okay - the bigger band size always gets me.

Here's another, as I have one.

Is that a good way to hang a bra?  Would a hanger be better.

Yeah - possibly H cup, but most likely 38/40GG.

In terms of bra storage, I wouldn’t hang a bra (unless it was drying - and even then, I’d clasp the back hooks together and loop it over the line).

Bras are best stored in a drawer, with the cups folded together and the clasps all fastened. The reason for this is to help them keep their shape, but also to prevent the clasps catching on other items and causing rips etc.

Same goes for washing a bra - the best advice is to wash them gently by hand, with warm water and washing powder, but if you have to wash them in a machine, do it on a cool wash - and make sure the bra clasps are fastened together. Better still, get a bra washing bag to put them in before putting them inside the machine (or a BraBaby, if they still exist).

Bras are such great looking, and they hold some of Mother Nature's greatest's gifts to mankind, but by the same token, I'm so glad I don't have to deal with them much. I own no delicate or frilly clothing and clothes wash for me is rather simple procedure. My only clothing that requires care is my business suit and I take that to the cleaners.

Bras are very much the most important item in a woman’s wardrobe (possibly a close second is shoes). If you take care of your bras, they’ll take care of you.

Of course, you have to have the correct size, decent brand etc.

But they’re wonderful, powerful garments.

Not a lot of people know this, but there are often 45+ individual components in a bra (I’d love to see one deconstructed), from underwires to straps, lining, elastic, lace, metal loops, plastic, shoulder strap adjusters, thread and material (and the cute little bows in the middle that no longer serve a real purpose).

I can’t think of a more complicated item of clothing.

No me either. 

I've seen the wire of underwired bras come out of old bras - is this just when they get old - or is it possible to remove the wire, say for washing.  I guess underwired bras are verboten for a washing machine?

A little off topic - but storing things is the most efficient way is a useful skill.  I've been rolling my t-shirts instead of folding them flat for sometime now.  Works great.

But I still need to watch that how to fold a fitted sheet again - never get that right.

The wires can come out - but not intentionally. Usually through wear. They often have a little plastic cap or bulb shape on the ends to stop them tearing the fabric, but it often wears away anyway and they poke through. There used to be a little kit called a Bra Angel that came with everything you need to repair them - but I’m not sure if they’re still sold. An underwire poking through and stabbing you can be pretty sore.

In terms of washing machines - yes, you can put underwires bras in a washing machine (at a cool wash), but I always fasten mine up on the hooks and eyes to stop them catching on other items. Or, I use a net bra bag - which zips up and protects them. Better still, hand washing makes them live longer.

I’ve posted about this before, but I’d wager not many people know why there’s often 3-4 rows of hooks and eyes on the back band of a bra?

[KBTs]

...to compensate for band stretch over time?

[Margaret]

...to compensate for band stretch over time?

Bingo.

But, also…

…because bra bands only come in even sizes (28, 30, 32, 34 etc), so the 2-4 inches that the hooks and eyes usually provide allow for odd-numbered back measurements (27, 29, 31, 33 etc).
