Marks & Sparks - Bigger busts - now same cost as normal bra AND 25%

dianasnan

Matalan do DD,E and F cups up to size 42 F which are about £8 and fitted me much better that M & S. Had 6 months so far out of the 2 I bought as a trial and they have both been machine washed in a lingerie net.

The last M & S I bought lasted 2 months before disintegrating .

Well worth a look.

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.

I just placed an order with these three codes and it took the 15% off the total before the 25% bra discount and £2 off a buy 3 pairs of knickers for £10 promotion were applied - so on my order of 2 bras at £14 plus £16 and 3 pairs of knickers at £4 a pair:

Item subtotal: £42.00
Delivery charges £3.50

Order Total: £45.50

Promotion Applied: £2.00
TAKE VAT: £0.89
15% off: £6.30
Free Delivery: £3.50
Bra Promotion: £7.50

Grand Total: £25.31
You saved £20.19 on this order!

So you can get the free delivery by ordering goods worth £30 before the other discounts are applied. :T

i think it was a set up from the start!!

well done m&s, fooled everyone.

but i do agree with the £2 extra.

i say the same applies to clothes... petite folks should pay less.

for 2 weeks!

Stuart Rose has bowed to pressure and just announced on GMTV that as of tomorrow he will reduce the costs of bigger bras to the normal size ones AND give 25% for the next 2 weeks

Good man!

Now they should do the same with children's clothes i.e. standardize the prices instead of increasing prices with ages

Quidco has tracked: I got £2.35 bringing my total saving to: £18.39!!

About time too! As a girl who shops for larger cup small back bras I have to tell you this is long overdue. For everday I agree that George at Asda and Matalan can be good, and for nicer ones that don't break the bank I have recently bought Panache Superbras for only £8.99 at alishae.com. I go for fit and looks - some makes to be honest are just not comfortable enough! Well a girl needs to be chic from the inside out!

But you can be petite & still have big boobs! So why should someone who is a size 8 with a DD+ cup size have to pay more than someone who is a size 18 with a A/B/C cup size? Surely it takes more fabric to make a larger back size??

At least M&S came to their senses - so now everyone's happy!

yea so u wear petite clothes which I think should be cheaper but pay out more on bras if larger.

same as a tall person paying more for clothes, but wearin smaller bras so pays less.

same difference.

say ur in a shop and they have the same style top which they do in petite/standard/tall/. I they should all be different prices, it it takes more fabric, u pay more and less fabric, u pay less.

The cost of the material is only a small percentage of the total production cost of an item. And just because the finished item uses less material doesn't mean that the bulk cost of material is less for a manufacturer as there might not be any more useable fabric that is left over than if you were making a bigger sized item.

I don't like M&S undies anyway, as a 34FF I find them to be a weird shape and a bad fit so don't bother.
