Omg I feel your pain! I am 30D and am on the hunt for some new bra at the moment.
You HAVE to get some from Elle Macpherson Intimates ( now Heidi Klum Intimates).
They fit impeccably, are so comfortable and last very very well if you treat them properly ( hand wash, line dry) I have had a few of my sets for 2 years and they look new!! Most importantly they look sexy not frumpy! ( seems to be a big issue for bigger cup sizes
)
My favourite style is called Artistry (Elle Macpherson) or Amelie (Heidi Klum)
They are the same brand, just Heidi Klum has taken over the line and the style names have changed even though it's the same product.
The reason I have still put Elle Macpherson is because you can still find a few end of line sets for much cheaper than full price Heidi Klum.
Bras are about £30 and briefs £20 so I try to get my sets in the sale!!

Wow I'm glad I found this thread. I never realized they made bras for 30 size... I get 32D/DD from VS or old Elle macpherson and pull down the strap during the day. You ladies really know your stuff!
Exactly. Did that at Nordstrom and bought one, but then went to Bare Necessities and bought the rest.
I'm from a 30D to a 32DD and I buy Chantelle, Simone Perele, the Agent Provocateur lines, sometimes Stella McCartney, occasionally Wacoal.....and old Elle Macpherson (not a fan of Heidi Klum).
I haven't found anything else in these sizes that fits and that does nor fall apart instantly (hey there Calvin Klein....).

I would also say to definitely check out www.barenecessities.com
I'm a 30G, or 32DDD, and brands like Freya, Fantasie, Wacaol, Panache, etc. make great bras.

I would suggest going to a professional bra fitting at a specialist store and then doing as some of the others have suggested and buying online or direct from the brand. You can also choose to invest in bras sold at the specialist store (worth the mark up in my view as the foundation of any outfit).
My experience has been that the sizes and sizing in department stores are way off as many size based on what they carry which is usually wrong imo. You might have luck at TJ max/winners I have in the off sizes and brands carried by the specialty stores and they are much cheaper.
As well, my size fluctuates wildly brand to brand. You will pay a premium in these stores but I wouldn't trade 2 good bras for a 100 so so ones.
A few years ago there was the big hype about most women wearing the wrong size bra. I found it to be true with all my friends family that I have convinced to go the specialty route. Lots of sites in uk they seem really good at variety in sizing.
Good luck and sorry for the long post.
