    Glad you feel better, and another vote from me for Bravissimo. And remember, sizes are just numbers.
    Got married 23rd May 2009, many thanks to all on the Weddings and Anniversaries board for their help and support!

    Having read this post felt some compassion towards the OP as i was made to feel naff when i first went shopping for a dress. Today after reading so many post praising BRAVISSIMO i went to our nearest one for a fitting. Boy was i surprised - i have always relied on tape measure fittings to get my correct size and always use an online size automater which gives you the correct size from the inches you type in. The last time i did this approx 3 months ago i was a 36d, however never really felt comfy in any of those sizes but a 38dd did feel right - my Bravissimo size came back as a drawer dropping 36f, so like most the others throughout this post and many others really recommend getting a good fitting set of underware.

    This is the one i have gone for and it really helps with the lumps and bumps which i would have felt uncomfortable on my wedding day having spilt out.

    oh just to add i went to asda last night to get a bra for the fitting and got a size 42 dd and it fit lovely only got a cheap one as didnt want to waste any more money , and i wore it with my dress and felt comfy but as it was just a lace one i think i need a more padded one to fill out the bust in my dress a bit , i said today that yesterday was the lowest and most stressfull day ive had throught the planning now i know i can take on any problem !!!!!!!
