I'm having a hard time finding bras and tanks that fit well & are comfy. So, where do you like to purchase your nursing bras/tanks?

Following!! My poor ladies have not been able to find any nursing bras in a store :'(
I have had luck with the super stretchy maternity tanks from target...I'm not sure what brand they are, but they are sooo lovely and stretchy, and if I get them in XL they fit! I did find a larger size nursing tank there, too... but nursing bras, no way.

I got the plus size glamourmom nursing tank. It's pricey but supportive and made well

Bump. Do plus nursing bras not exist?? Storefronts seem to only carry up to 40

@MrsLilybugg: They do!! I went to a specialty bra/lingerie store and they had nursing bras in all sizes. My very very fave one is by Elomi and it's so comfy and supportive. All the plus size bras I bought from Motherhood didn't provide enough support, and same thing goes with nursing tanks. That's just a waste of my time! lol!

@MrsLilybugg: Its a boutique in my hometown but mrs superhero did a great blog post where she linked a bunch of places (I'm at work so I can't follow the links) I'm really picky about bras and like my girls to 'be' where they belong!

Do you have Lady Grace stores near you? I went there and got fitted. I'm borderline plus size, but I have ginormous boobs :-/. This is what I ended up with - http://ladygrace.com/product.asp?pn=423. Baby's not here yet but I needed a nursing bra on hand, so I can't give any reviews yet. I know it's not the cutest thing ever, but my priority was something that fit and didn't make my boobs look awful.
I also bought these tanks at Target in XXL - http://www.target.com/p/gilligan-o-malley-reg-women-s-henley-nursing-cami-assorted-colors/-/A-13393083#prodSlot=medium_1_4&term=nursing+tank. These were the only style at Target that fit, due to the big boob problem.
Once baby's here and my milk comes in I'll invest in some other stuff.

Soma makes nursing bras up to DDD if that helps. I hated my Destination Maternity nursing bras but I love the ones I bought from Soma. They didn't have them in my store, but they're available online.

I was a 42B prior to baby, not sure of my cup size now because I haven't had a chance to go buy more bras, but I bought one Bravado nursing bra at a local specialty shop that I really like. The store had a lot of options that fit well, but I didn't want to commit prior to starting nursing.
The store sells a lot online and has free returns and exchanges. http://Www.nurturedfamily.com. They carry up to 48 and cup sizes up to M.
I also bought a few Target sleep bras, but have found that the Target sports bras in XXL work just as well for around the house and night time.
ETA- I love the Target maternity tanks. The are super stretchy and are easy to pull down for nursing.

Haven't had the baby yet, but apparently Noordstroms carries extended size nursing bras, they're just not out on display, but they can fit you. I've also ordered a couple bras by Cake lingerie that I'm excited about - beautiful and well made.

I wanted to add that I'm a 40 dd. I was a 42 DDD when I was pregnant, but my milk has come in and stabilized and I'm a good 40 dd.

I ended up going to a breastfeeding specialty store to get fitted once my supply established. Different brands fit me in different sizes around the band and cup. My favorite are Bravado...they give me a ton of support and are super comfy.

Thanks everyone!! This is very helpful! The wires in my cup have been starting to cut into my boob and it feels bruised.
