Bra shopping

I've lost a good bit of weight lately but still have more to loose.
I went for a bra fitting the other day and I'm down to a 30FF or a 32F depending on the cut but it's between £25 and £30 for a pretty bra in these sizes from where I've looked (measured in bravissimo, looked in la senza, next and M&S). Does anyone know where I can get a couple of pretty bras in these sizes that don't charge as much? I'm not worrying too much about quality as I am planning on losing more weight so don't need them to last forever.

A friend of mine is a fan of Matalan's range, and my mum has found Debenham's own brand very comfortable and good value. (Both of the above are with large cup sizes.)
Personally I'm a fan of trying on branded items in Bravissimo or a department store and then buying the same items cheaper on ebay - but generally this doesn't result in as low prices as either of the ranges above.

I don't know if M&S do FF cups, they seem to go from an F to a G. There is a search button where you can put in your size to do a search.
Congratulations on your weight loss by the way!!!"I believe that everything happens for a reason.

I like Bravissimo for their clothes - in the sale of course! - but haven't bought a bra from them yet.
Brastop are good, and as LEJC says there are some in the M&S sale. I generally go for bra ranges that are made for bigger boobs rather than a 'normal' range, as they never ever fit properly! Bras made for bigger boobs tend to have more robust straps (think over the shoulder boulder holder!) and more hook and eye things so the bra doesn't ride up your back."No matter how little money and how few possesions you own, having a dog makes you rich." - Louis Sabin0 -

M&S don't do FF cups - therefore their whole sizing range above that is a bit non-standard. Also I find they tend to be very poor on larger bra sizes - they just upsize the smaller ones, without giving any thought to the structural differences required for larger busts.AlwaysWorking wrote: »http://www.marksandspencer.com/Bras-Lingerie-Nightwear-Sale/b/444144031?ie=UTF8&isBrowse=1&rs=444144031&rh=n%3A444144031%2Cp_91%3A32F&pf_rd_r=16QR93HMNETGS0E7B2XC&pf_rd_m=A2BO0OYVBKIQJM&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_i=444144031&pf_rd_p=467080453&pf_rd_s=left-nav-3

I second Debenham's bras for comfort and attractiveness.
Asda also do some in their George dept. I have seen size J in there so you shouldnt have a problem. Cant vouch for the comfort or fit though cos I stick to Debenhams.
