Thanks for your great post as it inspired me to go forth and find a bra which fits - and in a size I never would have imagined - but for once my bra stays put, doesn't hurt and the boobs are pert as can be!<br />Thank you!!!!<br />Denise xA Bun Can Dancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02230119874949525088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3872318647189678164.post-14081053825957079572009-08-21T10:14:17.600+01:002009-08-21T10:14:17.600+01:00Dear Julia

And like most other commentators on this post - I hate the whole bra fitting experience - well actually I hate bras! But I am going now to find my tape measure and measure my rib cage as you suggest.... I know there's a bra out there somewhere which can fit me comfortably!!!!!!!<br />Thanks!<br />Denise xA Bun Can Dancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02230119874949525088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3872318647189678164.post-32337253054707014872009-04-23T09:23:00.000+01:002009-04-23T09:23:00.000+01:00They don't seem to bother with tape measures at Br...They don't seem to bother with tape measures at Bravissimo they look at you and make an educated guess and start from there. They are very knowledgeable about which bra will be best for you. As usual that restricts the bras I am "allowed" but at least they fit. I went from a 38 or 40DD in "normal" shops to a 34H at Bravissimo. At least the number is small and heh don't people pay to have melons surgically implanted!!Ruthhttp://www.craftypeople.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3872318647189678164.post-59533220152952415382009-03-18T14:49:00.000+00:002009-03-18T14:49:00.000+00:00i discovered bravissimo four years ago and would n...i discovered bravissimo four years ago and would never NEVER buy anywhere else.

After my first fitting I actually hugged my fitter - M&S, John Lewis and Mothercare had me fitted into a 40C nursing bra which left my knockers in my armpits and me feeling like a whale. Bravissimo called me a 36G and I finally had boozums! Two of, therein! Which pointed up the way!

By all means, buy your bras there, but get your assets measured elsewhere!<BR/>For years I coveted wearing a proper underwired bra that was comfortable and didn't dig in each time I sat down. M&S had me as a 38a. I went to an old-fashioned department store where they sold triumph and cross-you-heart bras, bit the bullet, bared all to a wee slip of a girl and got me actual size : 36D I tried on an underwired bra, and my oh my, I walked with my back straight.
