    Buy another one!!! Bras have a short shelf life, which depends on how often you wear it. If you only have a few and your big busted its 6 months or so as the guide.

    Yes, unless it's a Rigby & Peller (in which case, take it back) bin it and treat yourself to a new one.

    Drives me nuts when that occurs, but happens especially with cheaper bras!

    Not sure how to fix your current one but I was told to always hand wash bras and leave them to dry in an airing cupboard rather than using a washing machine and tumble drier.

    I'm a bigger girl too (32E) and I don't find Bravissimo bras very good even when properly fitted by them. I swear by Rigby and Peller bras these days though they are eye-waveringly expensive, for comfort, looks and longevity.
