Uplifted are good, especially at being a bit cheaper and for having things in larger sizes - I ordered from them recently and it arrived about 2 days later. https://www.upliftedlingerie.co.uk

My tip is to go to a proper shop and get professionally measured first so you know your right size - Contessa are a really good chain for that, better than M&S.

i like la senza, they're a bit expensive but they sometimes have good deals online and in store. v linguire based but loads and loads of basics if you go into the shops. get measured at loads of places though, im a different size in john lewis.

I've just ordered from figleaves and they seem ok. Although some of the stuff like the crop tops etc work in sizes like 8 , 10 or small , medium etc.

I bought 3 bras from here and they were all comfy and have washed well. http://www.brastop.com/acatalog/index.html

If you are D cup or above, try Bravissimo. The fitting service is brilliant, and I was really impressed. For an idea of prices, styles and a store locator, see:

I second the nomination for Bravissimo! I was fitted once at M&S and told I was a 36D, simply because they sell bras in that size. I later found out that I am in fact 30FF/G depending on style. Prior to thet revelation I had back pain, a rash caused by excess sweating as my breasts were squashed together, severe restrictions on the style of clothes I could wear (no low necklines) and a very poor body image leading to a lack of confidence. I was considering applying for a breast reduction on the NHS. I saw a documentary on TV once about a girl who had a breast reduction privately to correct the same problems I had had and it was clear to me that she was wearing the wrong sized bra. I would have though the surgeon should have realised that too but he never advised her to have a proper fitting, just took her money and put her under the knife.

I have found Figleaves to be very good. They have lots of makes and sizes.

Also if you are not satisfied with the bra you can return it - they send a Freepost label with every order - and they credit your credit card as soon as they receive the returned article.

To save a little more money when you buy anything online consider the cashback sites such as Greasypalm and Rpoints, etc.

If you can afford it, I think Rigby & Peller are the best I've ever bought. They're expensive but I've never worn such comfortable and flattering bras and I make it a priority to have their stuff when I can because it lasts for years. The saleswomen are trained to assess you visually and they KNOW what size you are; M&S told me I was a 44C, Rigby & Peller told me correctly that I'm a 38G.
