Figleaves have a 20% off code which I have been emailed - enter "TWENTY" at checkout on anything full price.

Slightly off topic, but does anyone have any suggestions for where to buy good fitting tops to go with the larger bras? It's incredibly frustrating when you have a large cup size but not necessarily a large back size... A lot of retailers don't seem to realise that it's possible to be top heavy without being really overweight!:rolleyes: I know Bravissimo do clothes - any other places worth trying?

It's a struggle generally - I tend to steer well clear of shirts or tops without any stretch in them unless they have some sort of tie at the waist/under bust, or wrap tops etc. Shirts are generally a nightmare, although bizarrely I have one from River Island which fits. Otherwise I just don't buy them cos I need about a 16 on the bust and a 10 on the waist.

Wallis tend to be quite small in the waist relative to bust, so I find a 12 in there will fit where as in other places it is baggy in the middle. There is also quite a lot of bravissimo stuff popping up on ebay just now, especially the strappy tops which i quite like. I've also got a couple of their blazers and they are very good fit wise.

The only place I've found really is Brav - but they are so expensive I tend to get the clothes 100% on ebay (unless I can pop into the shop around sale time as they have some good bargains in the flesh - have always sold out online it seems).
Tu at Sainsbury's vests are good I find though - lots of stretch over the boobs whilst still being nice and thick (so fit well on the waist) and come in lots of different colours (just not the red I am desperate to find at the moment!) and nice and cheap which is always good!
When I was thinner (size 10-12) I used to buy Next shirts with the express intention of wearing them buttoned on my waist to show it off and then open at the bust (gaping!) with a vest underneath in a sort of 'Its meant to be worn this way' way, as they had lots that were rather thick, cord types back then and lent themselves to wearing them that way, but now I'm a size 14ish they don't fit right anymore.
Or just stick to high high high lycra content

One thing to note - if you go into a Bravissimo store in the sale and they have something you like but not your size or in the colour you want ask if its in the warehouse. I did this and got a fab red dress for £25 (was £45), they only had the purple one in the shop.

I'm a 28 back (even rarer than a 32!) and a FF/G depending on the make. I only really shop in Bravissimo or online as most high street shops don't go higher than a D cup or lower than a 32!

Tell me about it Zara - I'm borderline 28/30 just now ( a lot of Freya are a bit too big in the 30), but when I lose a few more pounds I head smack into a 28, except stuck in a gg or h cup. It's bad when you're tempted to stay fatter just cos it makes bra buying easier huh!

I'm a 34FF and currently love Brastop. Bravissimo used to be good, but in my experience they are now too busy and understaffed. I have to wait ages if you want any help, and even if I only want to catch someone and ask them to look for something in a different size I can never find anyone!
