  • well im just jealous

    Nothing to be jealous about, unless you like having men talk to your boobs, backache, and not being able to wear clothes bra-less.
    And yes the lady in the avatar is me

  • Hey thanks for this. I recently got fitted at Bravissimo - was shocked to find out my proper size! and promptly spent £50 on 2 bras because I couldn't believe the difference they made to my shape. But I really can't condone spending money like that on underwear! Thanks!!
  • last one i had fitted was by sadie the bra lady stores in consett and darlington. excellent service and plenty of bigger sizes. me.... a whopping 34gg in one and a 34h in another, and yes all natural.

    Feeling jealous??...be careful what you wish for...i'm not 40 yet but my boobs look about 60, (no offence there as i know plenty of 60 years olds with fine boobs!) they are crippling my back and i have to buy size 20 - 22 tops to accomodate them which make me look huge. at 5' 2" not a pretty site. i have not worn a bikini in the last 10 years because of them and am seriously considering surgery before they hit my knees!

    I think it is high time you women stopped paying so much on fashion accessories like bras and spent the money more wisely.

    a bra isnt a fashion accessory..it is essential to avoid back pain and that sort of thing..i suppose you are a let it all hang out kinda man? disgusting

    What needs to happen is the high street stores extend their range - it seems that unless you are below a DD cup, or 42" you can't get anything!
  • 32F and only 20, I've never had the chance to look sexy!! Big white thingys!!
    Got a really nice push up & a little bit padded bra from Debenhams Gorgeous range recently. £18 I think, I look like Jordan, they float in front of me. Sizes are completely wrong though, so try a few on, probably go down a back size & up a cup etc!

    Think it says plunge bra, in white or black

    good luck!

    I adore Panache bras for a good fit. BHS does some nice ones in big sizes too. I find that M & S aren't supportive enough but that could be just me !!

    I have bought some lovely ones off ebay for a fraction of the rrp.

    Also just recently I have found big bras in TK Maxx with the matching knickers

    Another Panache fan here and also a huge supporter :rolleyes: (tongue firmly in cheek!!!!) of Fantasie 'smoothing' range. This is THE most supportive bra I've ever worn and is great under t-shirts/close fitting tops as its seamfree.

    As to not wearing a bikini with big boobs ....... I find you get far better support wearing a bikini than a one piece! Panache also do bra sized underwired bikinis, you buy tops and bottoms separately so you can get a good fitting bikini with the style of pant you want. My only dilemma is do I go for skimpy bottoms making my body look longer ......... or get the higher bottoms to cover the not so toned belly :rolleyes:
