    if you have an M&S outlet near you, remember there is an extra 15% off (see Martins email)
    I was counting at an outlet this evening and they pretty much had a full selection available though some outlets are not as well stocked as the main shops.

    I second this.

    I find M&S the best quality and fit for me and there are some real bargains to be found in the outlet stores.

    The problem really is the fit not the size, I try multiple sizes each time I'm trying a bra yet in certain shops there's always something not right no matter the size. It isn't the style either, I've tried that as well, it's just the way they make theirs.

    I do sort of know what you mean, I find small bras generally mean small amount of fabric, which makes sense in theory. But if there is not enough chest coverage my nips are really close to the top edge of the bra, lift your arms and .... :eek: The time the fitter hitched the straps too much I could lift my arms and the entire bra lifted several inches, including the band. Neither are exactly desirable in the workplace!

    Sorry if that is TMI. :o

    due to your band and cup you can shop anywhere. when I was under a C i lived in M&S's limited collection 2 pack tshirt ones (funky colours) as none others moulded as well. I had a couple from lasenza but back when they were decent.

    if your's looking for cheap but good quality head to debenhams. id personally steer clear of the likes of supermarket bras, primark, peacocks, e.t.c

    Shop anywhere? You'd be surprised. But I am thankful that I don't have the problems a couple of friends do, who can only really get bras from specialist places online. Debenhams is where I bought my last bra and it was awful quality, stretched and out of shape after only one or two washes!

    I like the look of some of M&S's t-shirt bras, now it's just to see whether they're made in a way that suits.

    La Senza was great back when they were decent, I was wearing one during a fitting in another shop where they couldn't find me anything and they even said that it was a very good bra. Such a shame they have gone all wrong!

    I suppose it must be very difficult to make these things and get them to fit any decent number of women, the fitting is so precise and we all have such very different boobs!

    I second Asda, there is the only place I find I can get a decent fit and good range.

    90% of my bras are from Next. I'm a 32D and find they always fit me well, give a good shape and are comfortable. They're really good value too.
