    OK ladies how many bra's do you have? As a big lady I've always just had two bra's but have just discovered pretty bra's for bigger ladies :) My temptation is to buy loads to make up for years of feeling un attractive, but it's not money saving. So how many do you think ladies really need?
    mwahahaahahahahha i know exactly where your coming from, I simply can NOT walk past a pretty bra in my size and not buy one, if they have matching pants I have to have those too.. Imelda marcos does shoes.. I do bras. :rotfl:

    Blumming eck, £62 on 2 bra's.

    Last ones i bought were in Primark, which have lasted for ages were £6 in a
    twin pack, 34C. 1 white, 1 black, moulded, wash and wear brilliantly.

    I have about 10 change it every other day.
    Would be great if Primark ever had my size, but they dont

    I regularly pay £25 per bra, cheaper ones just dont offer the support I need:(

    6 - 2 white, 2 black, 2 beige. For me/everyday - am past showing my boobs to anyone else :o.

    I usually have to spend around £35 per bra (38F - 40EE depending on manufacturer/style). And I loathe and detest underwired bras (sooo uncomfortable) yet struggle to find anything in my size that is "soft-cup" - any recommendations?

    One of my sisters has loads of matching sets - but she also has boobs like asprins on an ironing board! LOL!! :D

    I used to have a sports bra called "Shock Absorber" - thats truely a bra for big girls isn't it?? :rotfl::rotfl:

    I'm a 42/44 DD, and I have a nightmare finding bras! My last ones were from Primark, believe it or not! lol They are a tad small in the cup, but they are comfy and nice looking, lacy and a bit "plunging". I really HATE full cups, reminds me of the 50's parachute-like horrors my grandma used to wear...:p

    As for strapless....Well! I think those are for smaller breasted ladies, really. One word: gravity! lol :eek:

    Oh my god! I had to go and count them, gave up when I got to 25 aaarghh! Didn't know I had so many. I tend to wear about 10 of them - perhaps I ought to have a sort out......

    Think I have around 10 but none of them are the right size. Keep meaning to go and get measured again but last time I went to Jenners and got it done they got it all wrong so Im still none the wiser as to my size. Have measured myself too and they still dont fit right!!
