Has anyone ordered from figleaves.com?
I looked at their site and they seem to have a nice range of larger sized nursing bras. I'm not sure what size to order because I'm not totally convinced I understand the British system of larger bra sizes.
If I think I'm probably a 36H or so in American sizes what would I be in British?
I'm a 36DDD when not not nursing.

Triple D in effect is the same as D-E-F

DD - E

DDD-F

Its hard to find the large sizes in the UK!

I don't know American Sizing, but they definitely do a DD in the UK, so that would not be an E...
I have ordered sleepwear from Figleaves, it wasn't as nice as it looked on the website, but was ok. You can also try bravissimo.com - they do large sizes and have nice stuff (although no underwired nursing, if that's specifically what you are looking for).
