The bra Interventions continued....

[StatisticallyChallenged]

We filled a thread, so here's another!

House of Fraser stock quite a few brands including Fantasie and Freya. Their fitters can be very hit and miss so I'd avoid their help!

BraStop often does free delivery to Europe. You could also try some of the Polish brands like Ewa Michalak.

I took my friend to Bravissimo yesterday and she went from a 36B/C to a 32FF

Taking another friend bra shopping today but I will have to do the measurements

I have a possibly dumb question: that perfect fit advice - does it apply to non wired bras? It was suggested on the last thread that I try a 28HH but I need a nursing bra and theyre all soft cups in that size - I've never had a non wired bra that's fitted comfortably.

WHen you've measured your overbust, how do you work out the cup size? Is a certain difference, eg, 5cm, a D? 6cm DD?

Please help! I knew what size I was pre-DC (32G) as I was saved by Bravissimo about 15 years ago. Breastfeeding I was a 34K and now I've settled down to 33 - 45, whatever that may be.....! I live abroad and trying different sizes by post is just too expensive.

abra1d - it's basically 1inch=1cup - so the difference between the band and your overbust.

The Bra-lphabet goes A,B,C,D,DD,E,F,FF,G,GG,H,HH,J,JJ,K,KK,L...in most UK brands. AA is less than 1" difference

Could I have some help please. I used to wear a 34F (measured at house of Fraser) but I have put on a bit of weight and my bras are digging into me and leaving marks.

I measured myself this morning and I'm a 33.5 and 43. What size do I need? I've found that Freya seem to fit me the best, but am happy to try other brands.

Baroness try a 32J, 32HH, 34HH and a 34H

So that would put me at a 34HH. I have a 34J that pretty much fits so it's more the model than the cup that's wrong then. Not bad - Bravissimo fitted me with the J-cup over the telephone! :)

micku5 try a 34G, 34GG, 32GG and 32H

The cup is so tricky get right. I have a range in my drawer from FF to H

Bravissimo are pretty good that way! A 34J fitting is absolutely fine, I have everything from GG-JJ in my bra-drobe.

Somebody has tweeted M&S

Thank you. Will be out later to try on some new bras, the 3 that I have been wearing are looking a bit worse for wear now.

Thanks Forbes! I mean Sorrel.
