how many bra's?

I've loved this thread and feel loads more confident now as loads of us are in the same boat

I have about 15. As a 34H, I can only buy in Bravissimo or on the internet. Both M&S, La Senza and Asda/Tesco dont go to an H cup.

I have all sorts of styles and colours to go with whatever colour/style of clothes I am wearing.

I was wearing a 38F (as measured by M&S) for years. Went to Bravissimo when it opened near me and got talking to the sales lady. She said there was no way I was a 38F, and after trying on a variety of sizes/styles, turns out in a 34H!

So the moral of the story is DONT get measured as M&S!

I bought some new bras just last weekend from Bravissimo, spent over £100 on 3 bras and matching knickers. (I HAVE to get the matching knickers!)

Anyone know where I can get a strapless one in 34H? I have been told they exist, I just can't find them!

Two that I bought last week and they are the only ones that fit properly. The rest have had it - too small or old. Oh I have a really old now grey one that does the job so in total 3 !!

M&S always for me.
Time to build up my collection I think!!

Vixarooni,

Where would you suggest going for proper fitting? Someone else suggested La Senza so might try there. Im wearing a 34C and sure Im a 32D or DD but can never find anything to fit. Would you suggest measuring yourself is worthwhile or just go somewhere and try loads of bras on? Im not working so cant spend very much. (currently buy cheap M&S ones)

Sorry to hijack the thread!!!

Not la senza, they are really bad! Probably worse than marks. I would go to debenhams, house of fras, john lewis, bravissimo. Youre bra size is going to vary where ever you go, just like clothes do, so get fitted in one store and then get re fitted into each bra you buy. Thats the best advice i can give. People think that they are a 32c in every store they go into but its rarely the case. My bra wardrobe ranges from a 34A to 32D.

Just as a rough guide, im a size 12 and wear a 32 back, so size 10 should be more 30, size 14 34 ect ect. That will vary but its normally pretty ok. Although now ive thought about this, you'll need to ignore that rough guide if youre big busted because that its all about balancing the see saw and you will probably need to go tighter.

Debenhams go up to a K. Panache should do a H in a strapless i would have thought.

La Senza were very accurate with me, whereas I went to debenhams last week and the lady said " I can't measure you properly as your boobs are in the way "

Oh! I didnt know about Debenhams, worth a trip next time they have a sale then!

I like Panache bras, most of mine are either panache or freya.

Silly question, but would I get the same size if I was getting a strapless one?
