you get what you pay for when youre a fuller bust lady, especially when youre older and you need a bit more help.

I have never been a fan of M&S underwear, even my small size. They just feel uncomfortable... i say this as a debenhams bra fitter so perhaps im used to debenhams bras but they never do well for me. I shall be popping in though!!

good food, but the bras are awful!

What a clever marketing ploy! Good news though, cheap (er!) bras for a short while!

Because if you want to look after your boobs you need to pay the money to support them well.

Well made 'expensive' bras can ast 2-3 years if you look after them properly. Cheap bras will last 4 months - if you are lucky. My Panache Tango II are now over 2 years old, they are not faded, ripped, stretched, etc... because I hand wash them. It's a chore but look after them you get your moneys worth.

Not such a bigger deal for smaller busted ladies but when you are carrying so muuch weight around on top it is important to keep them well supported else the skin will stretch and once it's stretched you can't do much else about it other than surgery!! And that is a damn sight more expensive than bras.

If they are moving around when you go about your daily chores they are not supported correctly. If they are popping out of that bra you have on, falling out of the bottom, the band is moving you are in the wrong size. Even if it is comfortable it does not mean it is the right size. Ad even if you think it fits put your top back on and have a look in the mirror as it might feel OK but it might look ver wrong.

And the 4 boobed look is not a good one either. Now the summer is coming it is more important to make sure your bras fit well as you can see so much more in summer tops and t-shirts.

And if you Google correctly you'll find other e-tailers selling the exact same bras and knickers as Bravissimo/Debenhams/John Lewis/etc... but they sell them much cheaper as they do not spend their money on Glossy advertising!!

Did anyone see the press ad for the flat bra charges and 25%? Featured a gorg green bra which I cannot find on their website. Any help appreciated! TIA

I think you're right. Just measured, 34 round ribcage, 41 (!!) round bust. What does that make me? (no wisecracks please )

Sounds like you got some advice from BM. Hope you get a decent bra!
