That being said, it is a commitment, and is um...challenging to get used to. (Not the comfiest thing around.) If you have a big night out where you must look superfantastic, it's worth looking into. I am currently wearing the Cacique strapless convertible bra from LB, and I love it. It does the job, and it is comfy enough to wear every day, with or without straps. usually, I am too lazy to put the flippin' straps back on, and it works just fine.

They carry both larger cup and band sizes. The bras aren't the horrible frumpy over padded things I've found in department stores. The choice of nude colors is good. My current favorites though are from Wacoal. They make larger cup sizes not sure about band sizes over 40. I really like Lane Bryant for strapless bras and some bras in general.

My co-worker just asked me why I winced out loud. “…there is a nursing bra in an L-cup.”

Someone with a different body shape could easily love this bra, and so I have heard from a bunch of people who have it. I do have many other Goddess bras, and have been very happy with them.

They're in the US and routinely run "free shipping" promotions. Figleaves (http://www.figleaves.com) also carries a pretty good selection of larger bra sizes.

If anyone is visiting London, the 'real life' store is meant to be fabulous, very comfortable, and with knowledgeable staff. Although not so fabulous that you'd travel all that way just to buy underwear... Thanks for recommending this site, I know a few people who use it.

She lost, so more importantly, does anyone know where I can get one???
