    Ann Summers is good for some bras when you get bigger, I'm a G cup and some of theirs fit really nicely

    My anne summers seems to only stock bras up to a D!! :(

    I have long since given up with la senza, since ive gone way up above a DD ive found the only place that fits and that i can afford (just) is Asda michelle range.

    Yes not correct sizing at all. They are at least two sizes to small - the answer I dont buy from them. I buy from M and S limited range - they are the only bras that fit me on this whole planet and I am only a 36d!

    I'm too big for Ann Summers! Bravissimo is good and an be MSE as they're good quality. Bought one from Asda a while back and didn't last - but I suppose that was the moshing... my under wire literally came out, so spent the last part of the night out without it!

    La Senza are rubbish - I'm too big for them, but tried on their largest size and they tried to convince me I needed a bigger back size to make me buy a bra! Just so they could make a sale. They have nice underwear but I can't fit in them! Love their knickers and pjs though

    La Senza is terrible in sizing on all items im a 8-10 and even find their size 10 knickers on the small side. their jammies are a hit or miss, i have size smalls that are too big and size mediums that are too small. my mum gave me a pair of jammies she bought for herself sized 14, id say they were more a size 8.

    can i ask what bravissimo are like for bras? (sizing, measuring, fit, quality etc) i know theyre pricey but if theyre good i feel i may have to invest!
    seem to be differenct sizees everywhere, and have put on some weight so could do with gettin a proper fitting
  • La Senza sizing is really off now.. I used to buy all my bras from there, but find that the shapes are weird!

    I am a 36DD in La Senza, but a 34D everywhere else. Also, in La Senza, the cups seem to be really far apart!

    I really like Debenhams bras.

    I find they're good. One of the bras they fitted was a tiny bit tight on the back size though, but it all depends what store you go to. I went to Margaret Street just off Oxford Street.

    can anyone recommend somewhere to buy nice bras that aren't underwired?? and don't cost the earth?
    I hate underwired and spend the whole day pulling at them, as I can NEVER find one thats comfy.
