To make them look more to be honest lol

That's cool. I understand that. That is what they are there for. You just said you was wearing them but you were not happy with the fit of them - they are not for everyone but you should be comfortable wearing it. Have a look for the new plunge bras by Freya - they are not plunge in what you would usually think, they are cut lower but they have structure on the lower park of the cap and the cup - well, it just sits perfectly.

While we are on the subject, Freya have a new campaign about banishing bad fitting bras, it is called the Holy Fit and it basically tells you everything I have told you. Everyone should watch it and should forward it to their friends:

They have a fitting guide on there as well, you all must really watch this - more so those of you that have said you are not sure whether your bras fit:

ETA: LOL, I just watched this myself while posting the links and she is telling you everything already I have. She even said 'think shoes'.

Eek, reading this I really need to go and get measured - never been before!:eek:

I think I'm going to buy myself some pretty underwear, one set a month or something. Already updating my wardrobe this way, feel such a frump after becoming a mum at 21 ( I live in trackies or rather did! making an effort to wear something that makes me feel good every day) and never thought about pretty undies!

I own about 6 bras (that fit) 3 white and padded and 3 black. All primarks finest :rotfl:

What a lot of posts on a recent thread! Shows what we are really concerned about!

I have loads of pretty bras from M&S outlet shops. It's good to have different ones to suit whatever is on top.

There's an ad running at present( For The Times?) suggesting that British women have overtaken the French for spending on undies. Good on us!

I have far too many- so many I can't bring myself to count. And I haven't bought any of them. Despite the fact I don't even live at home my dear mum keeps buying me bras, with the reasoning "but there are such cute ones in your size!" I am 34A and I wouldn't even bother wearing one if I didn't, uhm, show through.

I do emphasise with bigger busted women as I've been dragged around by my best friend many times bra shopping and it's such a chore for her. Each time she gets measured, it is something different and I think she still only has 2 bras that fit which she rotates. Even if she does find something that fits it's hardly ever pretty.

I had several 44DD and 44D, just had a clear-out and now intend to have only 2 at any one time. I'm losing weight and getting into smaller clothes now, so I found a 42D sports bra in my drawer and have bought another 42D. No point in having any more. I might be down to 40D soon!!!

I have quite a few but only 4 that fit really well. I am a 30c and finding a 30 that is actually that (iyswim) is quite hard!
But I did find one in matalan a couple of weeks ago in the sale and it fits perfectly and is very cute. A few more places are making them now (yippeeee!) but its always worth trying them on as others have recommended.
Got 2 from debenhams (in a 2 pack) one fits , the other doesnt -whats all that about ???
La senza measured me but their bras dont fit lol!

I have soooooooo many bra’s I have lost count. I’m a rubbish money saver!
I love bra & underwear shopping.

I find atm that tesco’s is offering a fantastic range of “sale” bra’s in all colours, designs, fits.
I think in the last month I have spent £15 buying 6 matching sets.


I find la senza offers a nice looking range - But they are one wash types.

@ bertiebots:-

Normally with 2 packs, People switch them around. I have brought a good few in the past & had to take them back. A friend of mine has a small bust & she has to do this with many twin packs as it seems the “white” one’s always come up larger!

PS: Word of advice - NEVER put gel bra’s in the tumble dryer or rads. The heat remoulds the gel so you have 2 looking odd shaped tats!

I am soooo jealous of you larger chested ladies, I would almost give my left arm for a larger chest. I'm so small I can buy teenage cotton bras (I do prefer underwire though, I don't know why cause I certainly don't need the support), I currently have 4, 2 white and 2 black. I must wear matching cotton "shorts" pants too, I don't do not matching.

I have never been measured, I couldn't for the embarrassment factor, cause I really could get away without wearing a bra, think of Trinny and her chest size, thats me, but I feel too naked without one.

Don't be embarassed, everyone comes in all shapes and sizes. I've fitted people with all sorts, skin conditions, spots, so large i can hardly move around them, ladies who havent washed for a good 20 years, 90% of women don't shave under their arms, ive mopped up breast milk on two occasions...the list goes on. Really most of us have seen it all and if you see what i see you'd be glad of your small breasts!

Thanks had a look, but I'm after something more 'oomphy'. What do you think of Wonderbras etc? All that they're hyped up to be?
