You should note that the DDD sizing is not American sizing. Also, remember your sister sizes. Two more potential fits. One requires you to go a band size up and cup size down. The other sister size requires you to a band size down and and a cup size up.
I'm sure you know this, but wanted to mention anyway.

Then the bra doesn't really fit or support you appropriately.
I am a 32 DDD. There is one bra that I absolutely love. Nordstrom carries it for $65. I've also ordered them from Amazon for the same price.
It's the Wacoal Awareness bra. They actually have several of that same brand for under $100, some for $50. They last forever and are really comfortable and supportive.

That's not true. Sister sizes make sense. The cup size is relative to the band size so the sizing would be the same either way. Google this, for further education on it. Sometimes we think we're stuck with one size when we're not. We have "sister sizes." Google it. The cup and band size change with each size up or down.
In other words a C cup in a 40 band size is the same cup volume as a 38D. Read up, learn up ladies!
What about a store like Kohl's? Their website shows 104 bras available in your size. If I was looking for affordable I would never think of going to Sak's or Nordstrom.
I buy bras at Kohls. I buy them there because I have few other choices, and because Kohl's is convenient. Kohl's does carry larger cup and band sizes. Finding your size can be a real pain, but there should be something there. I just spent 2 hours in Kohl's finding bras to buy. I wear a fairly large cup size. I tried on so many bras!
I bought four Olga bras, for what it is worth. They also carry Bali bras and other brands which are mostly part of the Hanes group.
Today I visited a Hanes outlet and bought two sports bras. I think if there is a Hanes, Maidenform or Jockey outlet near you, you should be able to find a bra. I noticed that the Hanes outlet carried Bali. But I concentrated on the Champion sports bras, and didn't check any other brands while I was there.

We have choices.
Volume does not equate to support or comfort. If you have a loose band, your girls are going to flop all over the place. Why should you let that happen when you can buy the right cup size and the right supportive band size. You look and feel better with the true size that truly fits you. If your girls flop around, eventually it's going to compromise your looks and your health. Why should you compromise when you can have the right fit?

Listen, just do your own research. Of course, all this will vary by brand. Not all D cups are created equal. One manufacturer's D may be bigger than the other. The point in sister sizing is in fact to allow you more options across brands.
If you're willing to do the research you'd know what I'm talking about. Herroom website has a whole section dedicated to this. I too, have used Sister sizes when my regular size is not available. Who doesn't want comfort? Google can be a good source of information. Trust.....or not. I'm simply stating what we have. Options......

I do not generally find my sister size fits well. But I also do not wear the same size in every brand. Each time I have purchased a sister size that feels close enough, it doesn't work out. It is fine for bathing suits though.
