Hi there

Just done a quick search..the 1st site i found has 5 in your size in the sale at £10.56 each ..and they look quite pretty hope it helps
i just put 38g bras into google :rotfl: ... i have a similar problem -only i have a back like a russian shot putter ..mind it discovered today that it has shrunk 8" since i started losing weight... normal sized bras here i come -well eventually:rotfl:

http://www.brastop.com/Search.aspx?type=1&size=38G&brand=&colour=&sectionid=31&text=

ok when the site appears you need to click on the box on the left and select "clearance" and it will give you the pic

Oh yes, Brastop is a godsend for pretty big bras! I'm not that big by some standards (30DD) but I must say that my Curvy Kate bra from there is the best fit I've ever had and wasn't hideously expensive, plus it comes in lots of different colours.

I used to love Charnos Bio-form bras, why did they stop making them:mad:

I am a fan of these bras as well, it takes a bit of getting used to but by heck they certainly lifted and made a great deal of difference to where the boobs sit, my nipples point uo north when they are in these bras as opposed to pointing downwards with ordinary bras :rotfl:(im a 36f)

They had two main types, they basic one & a slightly fancier one (I loved that one).

Why the hell did they stop making them?:mad:

The lift & comfort was far better than with a skinny wire, it was like a hand supporting them:D

As promised here is a quick review on a Pour Moi Provence 'hammock' I purchased on ebay recently.

Had this on all day now and I'm thrilled with it. It keeps them up and offers a lot of support and is extremely comfy.

Having read reviews on figleaves that advise you to go one cup size up I was a bit worried. But I went for my usual size and it's OK.

Given you are saving on average about a tenner compared to Fantasie and Freya it's great value for money.

Ebay: I'm pretty sure the bra is a 'second' despite what the seller said. Some material is stitched on the outside along the inside seam between the clasp and straps on both sides. But given what I paid for it ( a tenner ) plus the fact the seller offered a refund straightaway, I've decided to keep it.

I will be purchasing this brand in the future.

Does anyone know what the sizing is like re: Charnos Cherub, Eve, Celeste etc? Do they come up small?

Been reading this with interest, I am desperate for a good bra. I have recently had some of the Katie Price and Asda padded ones which have all given up the ghost. I have been impaled twice this week with wires poking through into my boob!

What a brilliant idea :T - I have stitched them back in so many times but they just pop out again!

Wish I had thought of this.... maybe I can MSE myself some - I'm off for a hunt around the house for someting I can cut up.

I bought these. They're crap. They didn't fit the wires on my bra at all. Obviously designed for dainty bras with tiny wires :mad:

i agree Bravisimo is the best and the bras don't allways look like scaffolding. They are about £25 but it is a bargain compared to the hundreds of cheap poorly fitting bras I have

i bet if you got measured at bravisimo you will probabl;y find a different and better fitting bra. Marks measured me as a 38 B, and still do. yet I am a 36 FF. hmmm
