Rigby and Peller

Hello Everyone
I was wondering if any of you lovely people knew the best way to buy Rigby and Peller bras cheaper? I took the plunge on Saturday and had a fitting done with them, with the idea of taking their sizing and going somewhere else cheaper-but their bra actually felt fantastic. Only problem is I really can not afford their prices-even in sale. I did look up an factory outlet they used to sell at but I rung them up and they no longer stock their bras. Any help would be most appreciate, after years of wearing rubbish wrong sized bra from Marks-I really would love a good quality bra! Thank you in advance for suggestions.

  • Sorry can't help, but hoping someone can as I'll be shopping there too! :)
  • Just out of interest, did they tell you that your true size is a smaller back strap size and larger cup size than you currently wear?

    They told me I needed a smaller back size but same cup size as I currently wear (tricky as I was wearing a 32 G which is hard to find, and 30 G is almost impossible!)

    They did me - 3 sizes smaller on the strap and 5 cup sizes larger, and they were right. M&S put me in a 44B and R&P had me correctly as 38G.

  • Just had an email through to say that they have 50% sale on in store, from tomorrow I think. Also, a few bras on their on line sale seem pretty reasonable by their standards (i.e. c£30)

    They did say my back strap size was smaller and the cup was bigger. I have been going to Marks for years and was always assessed as the same size. The lady at Rigby eyeballed my size and then got a few bras for me to try. They fit like a glove, even when I raised my arms. I did look at the ones on ebay but I am not sure if they are 'real', I did give them a call about their sale date,which is tomorrow-money is a little tight at the moment, so will probably save for the January sales unless their is a factory outlet somewhere?
    Thank you all for your help. Zara

    My DD is 30G and she gets her bras at Bravissimo.....plenty of choice of good fitting bras though, of course, they're not R & P.
    I let my mind wander and it never came back!
