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?!

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.
