    25% off bras is now working on line (see website for code). It worked with the 15% off & free delivery codes (see discount vouchers board), so am very happy.

    Me too! - just ordered 6 new bras & using all of the codes my order went from over £70.00 to £41.00! :j

    Have all you 'cosy' women been on and ordered all the larger cup sizes? I can only find either large sized bras or smaller sizes with cup only going to F . or is it that M&S only make large cups in large sizes?

    If I've already ordered from M&S but my order hasn't been despatched yet, can I use the code on my order? I've clicked on 'view or change order' but can't find anywhere to add the bra code. Thanks.

    Cancel the order, then start again.

    I went through Quidco, then used:

    WEBS2558 to get 15% off
    FREEDELV for free delivery
    BRAOFFER for 25% off my bra

    And it also deducted the 2.13 VAT still. I'm going to refund the ones I bought instore today, as I've saved SO much money by going online; we're talking about £12+ as well as the 5% cashback through Quidco. :)

    bigger ladies in the boob dept are still punsihed though as g+ must be ordered online and so you have to pay delivery. i made my feelings known a long time ago and was told by staff to shop at debenhams as yes you are £3.50 worse off (i think it was that then as havent bothered since). i bought a sports bra from them last year and its so small, i have read reviews of other bras and cannot see a good review, they all say there is no support, can anyone help?

    oh i remembered that the staff said to order lots of bras so qualify for free delivery then take a handful back, she had a daughter who was bigger and told her to do that too.

    Write to their customer services.

    I am not remotely happy with the fitting I received in store today either. They basically say anything and if they don't sell your size, they'll squash you into the nearest possible, having magically measured you to be that size.

    In my case today, I was measured as a 32B, and then when I was already wearing an M&S bra in a 32C that I fill generously, she changed her tune and tried to get me into a 34D. I'm actually a 30D but prefer to wear 32C as there are more bras available in a 32C. Anyway, they're clueless and interested in the sale not the customer. Go to Bravissimo for a PROPER, professional fitting, and then look for items in that size at M&S and try them on. Ignore any advice given by M&S, other than availability of bras in your size.

    No, they only do F, G, H, J - which really is F, FF (M&S G), G (M&S H), GG (M&S J) - IYSWIM. This is why millions of women end up wearing the wrong bra size. They get sized by M&S as being a G, H or J and then pop off elsewhere for the same size and then wonder why the bra is too big for them!

    MrsV, likewise, this is why the bra you bought was too small, if you had bought an H cup to fit your HH cup size (which you can do in sports bras), you was actually buying a G cup which is 3 sizes too small for you.
