    wouldnt use ebay

    but regularly use figleaves

    www.figleaves.com/uk/

    fantastic choice and very good service

    you should be able to finde a discount for 15% off and free delivery in the discount codes forum

    enjoy
  • Alot depends on what you want. You can't send it back if the item is a poor fit.

    On the plus side people buy stuff they never wear then decide to put it on ebay labels and all. There's a lot of tacky stuff on ebay but also some good.

    Personally I've sold a couple Triumph bras (bought, kept in drawer then went up a cup size, down a back size before I got round to wearing them) and three Freya bras on behalf of a non-ebayer.

    If you know that, for example, a La Senza 38DD bra fits you and you know how much it costs, it would probably be pretty safe to buy off ebay (should you find it cheaper on there!!)

    if you could teach others to do this you could make a fortune
  • When I say up a cup size down a back size, I discovered 38D fitted me better than 40C :rolleyes: .
    I think I only got about half back what had been paid for each bra, but it's better than a slap in the face with a wet fish!!!
    One bra even went to Canada :j .

    Best bet is to be bothered and go shopping.

    Everything will look ugly on you if half your boob is bulging over the top and its the most uncomft thing you have ever worn.

    try ultimo.co.uk I buy from them for my wife, and it's all lovely fits, I'm a bit of a cheapskate and always go for the sale stuff, usually good choice in some sizes and poor in others, depends on what you are! Sales can be 70% off which isn't bad, and it all looks extremely sexy, and there are various departments, like D-G(says it all) Gemma Atkinson from Hollyoaks models them!
    Thanks to all the competition posters.

    You can get a good discount from Quidco for Figleaves.
    Once you know your size in a particular brand you can save a fortune.
