36/36, yes. Not entirely sure about K - but it’ll be something like GG-H.

Ah okay, I find it hard to estimate the ladies with the larger band.  Any idea of the bra brand?

Actually, having Googled this lady, I’m going to revise my assessment. She’s definitely up in the KK/L category. She’s a big lady, quite low set - so it’s possibly just the way she’s wearing this bra (I found the actual bra owned by her as sold - on her merchandise website - and she’s wearing a racer-back style bra fastener that pulls the shoulder straps together at the centre of your shoulder blades - which some bigger boobed women wear to pull their boobs up).

I’m not sure what brand of bra it is (there was a time I could have identified it in a heartbeat), but I think it’s a Polish or European brand.

What do you think about this bra fit from our favourite north eastern lass Leanne Crow.

I notice a slight gap on the front under-band - is that just the way she is standing, or is the fit slightly off?  Of course she could be tightening to make them look bigger.

I noticed this photo the other day on her thread and was going to comment something similar.

It’s *almost* a good fit (the bra is a Curvy Kate Princess, one of my absolute favourite bras of all time. -8 have this very bra in a 32FF). I suspect Leanne is pretty close to being a 32-34L, but this bra only goes up to a KK cup, hence the centre gore not quite sitting flush 1 and her boobs are very slightly bulging over the tops of the cups. Her pose is probably contributing to this, but I can tell by the band around the side they it’s riding up ever so slightly (isn’t the back band a whoppingly huge size?? - the back bands really are mega-big on these bras, as they have so much of the heavy lifting to do).

What I can say is that Leanne favours Curvy Kate bras - I see her modelling in them all the time - and I know why; they are quality bras, designed with really big boobs in mind, plus - they're comfortable, colourful and really sexy.

But yes, I’d be recommending a 32 or 34L (CK don’t make them) or go for a KK and possibly get a back band extender.

Add: just found a pic of her with the back band showing (from the same shoot - I hope it’s okay to post it?) - and the back band is sitting pretty horizontal - which is almost perfect. So, it must be the pose causing the slight riding up in the first pic. So, with that knowledge, I reckon my assessment is right - she’s something like a 34L, but can only get a 34KK.

Hello Margaret! Taking this back to the 1970's heyday, I don't know if you measured the great Sylvia McFarland. I did a search but could not find her in the women you measured.

I’d need to see more pics, but she looks like a 32F/FF, possibly 32G.

It does look like a nice garment. I always love the feel of the material they are made out of.

but this bra only goes up to a KK cup, hence the centre gore not quite sitting flush 1 and her boobs are very slightly bulging over the tops of the cups.

So, is the one she has on slightly undersize do you think?

Yeah the back is big, but so is the front!  Actually looking at the back, I'm surprised the band narrows at the clasps, you'd have thought that would be wider with more hooks.

What I can say is that Leanne favours Curvy Kate bras - I see her modelling in them all the time - and I know why; they are quality bras, designed with really big boobs in mind, plus - they're comfortable, colourful and really sexy.

I think I will have find some more pics of her in bras, just to see how she wears them.  I guess this has changed over time.  There are some early pics of her in a bra, I will have a peruse.

and the back band is sitting pretty horizontal - which is almost perfect. So, it must be the pose causing the slight riding up in the first pic. So, with that knowledge, I reckon my assessment is right - she’s something like a 34L, but can only get a 34KK.

It must be a game changer to get a bra to fit well if you are 34KK. 

Edit: I've just had a look at Leanne's website, in the about me  it states "Measurements:32JJ-30-38", it probably needs updating, but that is where she was at one time.

I might be wrong, but I think the Princess at KK has four rows of hooks and eyes - but you’re right - you would expect it to be wider - but one of the great features of that particular bra is the side panelling - it really does do a lot of lifting and supporting. It’s an amazing bra. I have about half a dozen of them in different colours. Hopefully, Santa will bring me some more now that my size has changed a bit.

She’s definitely bigger than 32JJ - easily KK/L.

Something I was looking at today.  This is a screen capture of video. 

I really like this outfit, but not sure what it is.

That’s called a Longline Bra - look them up, they’re really amazing. I have a few, but haven’t worn them in a while. If you find the right one in your size, they can be super-comfy.

Ah yes, I remember now.

look them up, they’re really amazing.

I will, I think they look nice.

Comfy and and sexy - a win win. 

You must have a huge collection of bras and lingerie?

I do indeed have a pretty massive collection. Four full drawers worth of bras, briefs, basques, strapless bras, corsets, things with clasps and chains, suspender belts and stockings. All in a variety of styles, colours and sizes (a lot of it is outside of my current size now). Some of it I haven’t looked at for years. Some of it is treasured, some of it worn beyond reasonable use - and some of it so impractical that it was perhaps worn once for fun and never again (that tends to be the stuff my husband has purchased for me). It mostly consists of bras - a lot of which were given to me to do reviews, or to test, but I have my go-to favourites that will always do the job required.

I think I perhaps have 60-100 bras, and I also have a bunch that I really need to give away or sell, as they’ll probably never ever fit me again.

Have you thought of perhaps opening a Bra Museum and then charge people to see them?

Goodness that is a lot. It puts my own small collection to shame.  Are there any rare ones in there, ones that may be worth more?  Any real favs that you'd never part with even if you'd never wear?  I guess if you added up how much you've spent over the years it would come to a fair bit. 

I wonder what you could do with them all - almost enough to open shop.

All the women I've ever known, family and non family always seem to have lots of clothes. It is fascinating.  I have a friend that has lots of clothes, most of it will never fit her, ever!  Like some small blouses that are like a size 9 or something.  And shoes - OMG!

I only have one piece of clothing I'll never wear again,  which is a fur lined Levis denim jacket I bought on my first trip to the US. Oh, and a pair of Levis jeans in a odd, 33" waist that I've kept.

I found this pic online today - not the most practical piece of clothing. but interesting.

That did cross my mind, but a collectors type webpage may be better.  I'm going to have to look now, is there one.

😂😂 some of them certainly belong in a museum. Or the museum trash.
