Is there a new bra intervention thread somewhere?

[lookout]

All of the other ones are closed now and I still need some help!

The Fantasie Kara bra I got off Ebay was from a company called Belle Lingerie - they have good prices, offer discounts and free delivery in the UK - worth a look.

Oh I just signed up for their email and now get 10% off my next order over £30........

Thank you so much for all the helpful information that I have gleaned whilst lurking on these threads. I am wearing an M&S 32c but was expertly fitted today in John Lewis as a 30 D/DD
It's gonna be expensive replenishing my matching set collection!!

Dinkydoos What size are you and what sort of boobs have you got?!

hazelnutt just looked at the two ginormous bras in drawer and they are fantasie Rebecca!! Tbh , I was trying to wear them when I was around 10 pounds heavier than normal so maybe they didn't work cos of that, and I should just try them again now I've lost those pounds. Even so, they still look huuuuuuuge!
marriednotdead by boobs are pert and have no stretch marks. Oh. No that was another life, pre dc's .... Anyway they are sort of empty at the top, saggy and current size is around 34 ff. but prob need to do the new measuring method to make sure, but think that is correct. Any ideas?

And thanks sorrel , will try the juna and curvy Kate. Hopefully they will stock them in local bravissimo

Ah sorry dinky, they are still big, but still an improvement from the normal moulded ones, honestly.

Another seamless options I've tried would be

or
www.figleaves.com/uk/product/FE-FL2471/Fantasie-Esme-Underwired-Moulded-Bra/?size=&colour=Black
Those are both still quite huge, but non-moulded (even if the description of Esme claims differently).

I'm bra shopping again after the last 2 ordered still didn't fit!
So I'm looking at https://m.bhs.co.uk/mt/www.bhs.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?langId=-1&storeId=13077&catalogId=34096&productId=6331903&categoryId=471439&parent_category_rn=471227 this one (on mobile so hope link works!)

I need to understand what size to try if the recommended in here size36GG doesn't fit. Last 2 it was the cup that was too big.
I really need this to be my last attempt and a successful one!

Poo, it didn't work!

Panache tango lux on Bhs website!

Hmmm, not a Panache expert at all as they don't seem to work for me (apart from the Cleo range). Have you tried this particular bra before? What sizes?

All the bras I've tried have been 36GG.
Can't remember what I've tried and what I haven't lol!

Ok, if the back feels okin a 36 on this bra then stick with that. Try a GG but maybe take a G and an H in with you. Make sure you scoop, scoop and then scoop again!

I can tell by looking at this bra that I wouldn't find a perfect fit in it as the cups are too high for me and I would get bulging in one size and gaping in another! I get this anyway in a couple of my bras and choose to accept a slight gape/bagginess as opposed to the bulge. It never shows under clothes.

Thank you .
If 36 back doesn't fit what do I change cup size to?
So 38 something.
I needed to be armed with all info needed before I hit the shop!
Only Bhs and M&S in nearest town or Matalan & Tesco!

Any interventionalists doing house calls?
After my disaster with Bravissimo I feel like I can't go back there & just feel too disheartened to try anywhere else!

So...I want to try on some 32DDs before ordering some nice ones from bra stop with all these lovely names you keep mentioning.

But...I only have a very small m&s, next, dp, new look, primark and supermarkets to choose from. I was going to try m&s as I dont think the others are going to have the DD. But what are their bras actually like????? Is it even worth it or should I wait until I xan get to the city?

what happened mrshels?

Tortoise If the 36 is too tight (tried on back to front, don't worry about the cups at first), then try a 38G (sameish cup volume as a 36GG). If the 36 feels fine on back to front and then too tight when turned round and put on properly, then go up another (or more) cup size. Don't be tempted to go up a band size and that won't really work. Get the back right and the rest will follow.

I'd take in a 38G, 38GG, 38H, 36G, 36GG, 36H, anything around that really. Be very critical, scoop a lot, don't have the shoulder straps too tight.

EdwiniasRevenge It's hard for me to comment on M&S bras as they don't usually stock my size! However, I think others on these threads (anyfucker for one) has found some nice ones in there in a similar size to the one you're looking for. I think they tend to not have enough support in larger sizes (F+ for example) so you shold be fine in a DD. Don't be surprised to find very few 32DDs though.

Personally, I find M&S bras to come up quite small in the cup but that's just my experience. They jump sizes from an F to a G so it's hard to gauge!

Thankyou.

It is actually a tiny tiny food store wiyh a tiny lingere section so I'm not holding out much hope. I have to go in there anyway so might as well look.

I went to Bravissimo & was measured as 34DD/34E but still had loads of back fat spilling over the strap at the back. The girl fitting me said we all have it, but I don't want to look all lumpy. I accept I have a few excess pounds but even so...
I ended up taking everything back. Also my norks still looked fairly flat, I guess my expectations were too high

hmmm. sone back fat is kind of normal but it gets better in a good bra if scooped-have you seen the blog post on it?

the flatness is usually due to shape of the bra. If you want a very booby, in your face look then I've found some Curvy Kate bras excellent for that.

Please help. I'm in a M&S 38B. I am 33 at band, 39 around ( 40 if leaning forward). I feel like I've gained a lot of back fat post-babies and breasts are a bit softer less perky after Bfing two babies. ideally I need a couple of everyday tshirt type bras and then something more structured. Where do I start?

pocket start with a 32F (and E and FF) or 34D and sizes around. 32 will likely give you better support.

38B! Another M&S bra disaster.
