bra size measurement... help.

LOL Lydia me too! Thing is once you know the right size in a brand you can then order them online cheaper - the brands "shape" rarely changes
And they also fitted me with a wireless bra as I'm pregnant - totally different size as wireless and has to allow for expanding ribcage etc - will also be going back for the maternity bra's for definite!

Yeah I'll be heading back soon for Nursing bras, their maternity bras have been wonderful too, just not so pretty.

Totally agree with Lydia Bravissimo is the place to go and the designs of their larger bras don't look like something your granny would wear

Another one for Bravissimo. They are the best at fitting bras and Ive tried them all. You can try all different shapes of bras in there.

Its true that its not just size but shape.

Freya is a fantastic range and they fit perferct on me and make my bust look fab but also the Asda own range are similar in style and shape to Freya bras. Again they are a great shape (for me anyway) and I've got a few from there.

For those that need a larger back size than bravissimo can offer, Naturally close have a fantastic range. I tend to buy a lot from the clearance pages so they are relatively good value for money too!

Fantasie are the ones that suit me best - I too have been to Bravissimo and recommend them. I now go to a local lingerie place and have them measure me - they spent a good half hour with me recently!

OT - gremlin your cat is so cute, love the outfit!

Also recommend Bravissimo, they are more attuned to the needs of the larger lady, and the fitting issues that we face...

I'm in the same boat, sudden change in bra size (but not weight) which means that none of my current bras fit, have tried going up a cup size but no joy, I think just trying on lots of similar sized bras til you find the right size and importantly brand that works for you is key

Just to add that as a "bloke with credit card", Bravissimo's a woman's best bet...She gets much more time to spend my money in there, as there's actually a decent place for me to sit and read a book...Get so fed up with taking her undy shopping and being forced to loiter in the lingerie department getting odd looks from middle aged women whilst she's trying stuff on.

Fantastic, Naturally Close have a 2pack of Bras in my size for £11 which is about half what I normally pay for one.

Thanks Krystal tips

another vote for freya and bravissimo. went from a 42 dd to a 38 g and my boobs have never looked so good. the bra fits so much better, doesnt move up on my back and there is no unslightly double boob at the front.

freya are a bit more expensive than some other brands but the quality is worth it and you can order online once you have got your size.
