I got fitted at Nordstorm and measured 32C. I bought this natori bra http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/3056948/0~2376776~2374325~6004924?mediumthumbnail=Y&origin=category&searchtype=&pbo=6004924&P=1 there, and I love it. I find it a bit too pricey for everyday wear to buy more. Looked high and low and can't even seem to find 32 band size anywhere else.

Any suggestions where I should look other than forking out $$ for more of the same natori bra? I can't even seem to find 32 band size in a C cup anywhere let alone a nice wireless, supportive bra that looks good :(

Our Target sells 32. I used to have to special order 34D bras it was such a pain.

Soma Intimates and Macy's both sell affordable bras in 32s, both in B&M stores and online.

Soma's website allows you to shop by band size, and everything they sell is very comfy and soft.

Also, most Victoria's Secrets began carrying 32s in store, early this year.

I was a 32DD before I got pregnant, so I know how frustrating it is. The assumption is that if you're a 32, you haven't got breasts. Or that you should "make do" with a 34, which doesn't offer proper support. But it's worth it to keep shopping until you find the perfect bras. Good luck!

The Nordstrom anniversary sale starts on 07/16 (I think), and it may be worth checking to see if that bra (or another bra in your size) goes on sale.

try Kohls online (you can return in store) they usually have a good selection, lots of sales and coupons too.

I'm a 32B. I have found bras at the Jockey Outlet and Hanes/Bali/Playtex Outlet.

Nordstrom's sells lots of styles in 32 which is the band size I wear. I have a few Natori, but also really like Wacoal. IIRC Le Mystere comes in 32 as well. You can sort by bra size in the Nordies online search which is a great feature, and as pp said, their sale is coming up soon. Also, if you have a Rack nearby I've had quite a lot of luck finding Natori especially there for very reduced prices.

Gap Body, Macys and Victoria's Secret all stock 32 band sizes. (Try finding a 30!)

Try Dillards department store. They sometimes carry 32 DDDs, so they'd probably have 32Cs. If memory serves me correctly, Dillards is a bit less expensive than Nordstrom, and they also have trained bra-fitters.

I'm actually in between according to the measuring lady at Nordstrom so I end up with smallish 32s. I've only ever seen 30s online which means no chance to try on. Plus only a couple of styles and I hate underwire so. . . Yeah I'm just picky about everything.

Ditto on all of that although I think I am a 32 now, my rib cage seems to have grown or something!

I'm a band size of 28. I get my bras from breakoutbras.com. I also wear Lululemon's Ta Ta tamer in size 32 (because the band runs snug) - this is my every day bra.

eta: I missed the word "affordable". The Ta Ta Tamer is NOT affordable:) But breakoutbras has a very nice clearance section, with a nice range of sizes including 29s and 30s.
