Bra help needed!

Ok, so I have been a 34b for goodness knows how long, however, I have put on a little weight and now my bras are looking a little too small. Am I right in thinking I should go up a cup size but down on the number??

Best to get meausred. Bravissimo are great.

I think you should bite the bullet and get remeasured in a shop; Bravissimo is supposed to be very good for getting it right.

Hmm, I'm no where near Bravissimo... Am near an Ann Summers, or M&S... That's about it for measuring...

Is there not a way of doing it yourself?

If you've put on weight then the back size definitely won't go down, but the cup/back size may go up.

IME virtually EVERYONE measured by bravissimo are wearing the wrong size.
My 34Bs were really a 30E pre-children.

I wouldn't be suprised if yours were a little out.
When you're fitted properly the difference to how you look is huge. I can spot a Bravissimo girl a mile off!
tips here

sorry!

I prefer a 36a bra choca, have fun trying to find a good one now that you can't get Sloggi Sensual

Chocamochalatte · 23/08/2010 19:41

That's ok!!

I looooove Wonderbra Pure, push-up without padding!

Only place I seem to be able to buy it though is Ebay...

I think all the confusion about bra sizes (I range from 32E to 36C from shop to shop Hmm)is purposefully created to make sure we keep buying bras in search of that elusive brilliant fit.
