Bras

[Abigail]

Do any of you ladies know of any companies that do bras in larger sizes (i.e. E cup)? I'm having real trouble finding decent bras for a low price.

I have catalogues for Bravissimo and Simply Yours. I refuse to buy anything out of Bravissimo because of the price (£22 for one t-shirt bra). Considering I need at least 3 bras it's going to cost me a lot. The new range in Simply Yours is either too expensive or fuddy-duddy.

I bought some out of Littlewoods but they were so unsupportive, everything went south.

I've tried La Senza. It was a nightmare in there. I spent 30 mins in the changing room whilst this woman tried to find me the right size. I was wearing a 34DD bra so she brought me a 36D then a 36DD even though the back size was obviously too big. Then she brought me a 34D by which time I was getting frustrated. I have no idea what she was doing, if a 34DD was too small why was she bringing me a 34D?! In the end I ended up with an expensive 34E bra which the shoulder straps cut into my skin.

So now I'm back to wearing a 34DD and I'm fed up of having to "re-adjust" myself.

Please help!

I know the problem, go on the marks and spencers website or the debenhams website as you can search my size

Asda do a range now for the curvier woman, up to an F cup. I think Jordan has her name to some of them, and all about £10 to £12, I got one today,
34E reduced from £10 to £5 - bargain.

Thanks for those tips.
I looked on the George website and I was shocked at the price of clothes. I'm definatly taking a trip there. They only had two of Katie Price's bras on the website but I guess there will be more in store.

Have you tried Playtex or Gossard online. There is a playtex shop in the McArthur Glen outlet shopping centre outside Edinburgh and my niece-in law got underwear for her wedding out of there as she is an E cup.

Hi, does anyone know a good website where I can buy on line and they will ship to Gibraltar, most sites I've seen only ship to UK. I am an E cup and have great difficulty in getting nice bras. We do have a La Senza here but there are very expensive.

I wish (in some respects) that I had that problem! Although I do feel for you ladies that have this problem.

Would Triumph be an option (I think they have stores or at least have opened one up down this way - they might be able to help)

I have also heard bad things about La Senza and their fitting policies though - my friend went there to be measured and they only measured below her bust, not around her bust - how on earth can they find out the cup size if they don't do both measurements?! :confused:

When they "fitted" me the woman said they don't go by cup sizes, just back size. She didn't even get a tape measure out, she just looked the brought me several bras that were obviously way too small before I tried them on. Really doesn't make sense.

Wasn't aware of Triumph, Gossard or Playtex, I'll look them up. There's a McArthur Glen place outside York as well which is fairly easy to get to.
