Im going shopping tommorrow (so cant order online!)

Need some sexy underwear - but not sure what I need.

Am size 12, like my boobs but want to hide post baby tummy (its yuk!)

Any ideas where i should go, where the best place to get your boobs measured, and what sort of things I should go for please!

I need to really boost my confidence after having some hurtful things said to me. This is step 1 !

If you like your boobs but want to hide your tummy then I'd say a basque is the way to go.It'll give you norkular oomph and it'll hide/hold in your mummytummy.

(Just so we know whether suggested shops have branches where you are going to be !)

Yup, will prob end up in the Bull Ring.

Thing ive always found with basques is that they come up to short and you get that yukky bit that seems to hang out at the bottom!

Is a teddy different to a baby doll?

Ok, so some sort of body then. Teddy possibly a bit too unstructured ?

A teddy is like a bodysuit, a baby doll is more of a nightie/negligee thingy.

Do you need underwiring ?

I have this . It's very nice on (not tarty) and the mesh/fishnet type body is fab for disguising stretchmarks. Wouldn't hold wobble in though and I find it squahes my (32E/F) boobs a bit, looks great head on, but from the side they look a bit odd

I do think my boobs look better pushed up iykwim. I love them in a good bra - hate them loose!

Im a bit of a hard task really!

I want something that comes in 2 bits - like with knickers - maybe french ones
Something that pushes up boobs at the same time as not having huge thick straps
Something that covers tummy with out squeezing so tight that everything oozes out the edges

Has to look nice when standing up, but wearable under clothes too.

Does it exsist?

La Senza have a good selection of sexy oomph bras / knickers if you are a bit of a budget.

That second link was errrr

I think theres a La Senzas in the bull ring, theres an Ann summers and a M&S, Debinhams etc...

Im not entirely sure what size I am. I was a 36D but then lost lots of weight so am now wearing a 34C but that was more guess work on my part. They wont stay ibn the damm bra though so I guess i need a bigger size!

There's also a Knickerbox, worth a look.

Thanks NDP.

Im not really looking forward to it - have a feeling it will crush what little confidence i have left but I may be surprised
