Bras

[Curly Top]

Agree. It doesn't really matter what the size is as long as it fits well. When I was fitted at Rigby & Peller many moons ago, I was told that different brands come up bigger or smaller, which of course is profoundly unhelpful.

 

[laughing]

I just buy all mine from Asda

Do they do the job and not fall apart after six months?

-Thank god Boux Avenue have started using professional models again and not influencer mirror selfies

-I'm getting this front closure lace bralette from eBay. It's cheap cheap so God knows what it will be like when it gets here but it's coming all the way from China and taking forever

Hey! Any suggestions for where to buy reasonably priced bras with a lot of support for a bigger bust that don’t look like granny bras? I’m a 38K and sick of spending £30+ per bra a lot of places don’t do large sizes.

 

[Rjaggers]

Is Victoria’s Secret measuring accurate??? I went in there to get measured properly the other day as I often find I’m in between sizes.
I tend to wear 32AA or 32A but they measured me as a 30C!
i also tried on a 30C bra there which fit perfectly and I really don’t understand because anywhere else no way would that fit and I’m obviously no where near a C cup, I’m basically flat with no cleavage so I’ve been left very confused…

 

[Bluepop]

I would ebay old stock bravissimo bras. Some on there pre owned but several new and not granny style and not with the bravissimo price tag!

Oooh good idea! I’ll try that thanks

 

[Blair-Waldorf]

I like next bras

 

[Pixipoppy]

Just did a big order from Boux Avenue and their sizing is so inconsistent now having to send most of it back!

 

[Notworthy]

Do you not have an independent lingerie shop near you

 

[laughing]

Will add to my list!

 

[HaggisInMyBin]

Where do you get yours from?

I normally change mine about every six months but the last two lots that I have had from M & S, the quality has been very poor, just put two more in the bin.

Primark, I don't think the cups sizes are great and I'm only a B

I’m a B cup (on a norrmal day). M&S bras have never fitted me. In my younger days Primark bras were ok but 2 kids and mid 40’s later, not so much. I now spend most of my life in sports bras. For slightly nicer underwear Pour Moi fits me ok but a couple of my more well endowed friends hate it. My current best fitting ‘day wear’ bra is a pack of 3 T-shirt bras from Debenhams that I bought and forgot about 2 or 3 years ago. I found them mid lockdown and I’ve been trying to find more of the same.

Edit: I’m sorry that was really unhelpful.

Another Fantasie bra fan here, also Triumph fit me well. Game changer when I bought a bra from Sainsos for £8 and it fit aswell as fantasie

Funny, as I bought one for £3 in the sale in Sainsbury's and at first I thought 'wow' but bloody hell after a few hours wear it was really uncomfortable so I haven't worn it since!

 

[laughing]

Just to add to the mix, trying to buy an unwired bra, is a bit of a nightmare

 

[under the ivy]

I’m a 30E/32DD. I don’t look it though. I get my bras from the M&S sale as my sizes don’t seem very popular, especially the 30E!

 

[Millennial Pink]

I've also been having problems wearing old 32 or 34A bras. I used boob or bust and it came out with a 30F and the A Bra that Fits calculator and it came out with 32D! I went to House of Fraser yesterday lunchtime to try some on and the fitting rooms were shut

Can anyone recommend a company with a decent returns policy? I don't really want to buy Primark bras again because the quality tends to be naff.

 

[noseybirdxo]

Thank you so much for the recommendation, never had a wunderbra before, so ordered a few sizes… oh my. What a game changer. I have a strapless bra that stays in place!!

my new issue is matching pants because I really dislike the Wonderbra pants (I’m a thong girl), and obviously I went for a patterned bra but it’s so pretty and comfy.. and fits!

Ahhhhhh I’m so pleased you like it, it really is a game changer isn’t it! the underneath “wire” literally feels like hands holding them in place, like a hug

 

[Pinkfoxxie]

I used the boob or bust measuring guide today, my suggested size was 40J!! I wear a 40E at the moment

 

[freshhead]

Where to get a pretty...sexy... bra and knicker set for 36EE/F and 14 on the bottom? I haven’t bought any underwear like this in years and don’t know where to look. I’ve had some nice bra’s in the past but the ones I’ve had for the past 5 years are very grannified and not exactly something you’d want to show off in the bedroom
I don’t think Anne summers offer that much for my cup size either

 

[Bettyboo2475]

Used the boob or bust measuring tool and I’m 44JJ. Oh my god. Not going to find that size in Marks am I. Actually I can’t find anywhere that stocks that size.

I get my basic t shirt bras from Matalan, then I get deadstock from eBay for fancier pieces, such as Boux Avenue, M&S, etc. Also got two Lounge bras on there that were being sold new with tags on for about £10. They are comfortable but not that flattering and def not worth £50!!

I bought this M&S blacony one on ebay for five quid as it was old stock. It's the most gorgeous bra I have ever seen and is more like a £100 one. (Sad;y no longer available.)
