Okay, as a former 38 DDD, I believe I am qualified to help in this matter.

First and foremost, GET MEASURED by a professional. I don't care if someone's been fine in the size she wears daily, it can cause soft tissue damage to a person if they wear a size too small, or chafing if they wear a size too big.

Now that you know what size you are, go looking for 'convertible' styles of bras. They are available in any department store or lingerie store. They have detachable straps that can be adjusted and reattached in different formations to fit under different necklines.

As a larger woman (38 DD, size 16/18 misses), I personally swear by (I know this is crazy, but) Frederick's of Hollywood. I'm wearing one of their (padded) bras right now. The padding really really helps with support, and my back's been so much happier since I changed to them. If any of your girls have problems in this area, take them shopping there. They make strapless bras there too that really do provide the support I need. I used to work for Lane Bryant, and their bras did not work for me.
