Is there a new bra intervention thread somewhere?

[lookout]

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

pocketandsweet Try the following sizes: 32F, 32FF, 34E & 34F as a starting point. Follow the advice on the Better Bra Campaign blog about fitting and getting the band right before tackling the cup size.

Balconette styles are often good for softer boobs. Freya Deco is a very popular t-shirt bra but it is moulded which doesn't work for everyone, especially if you have bottom heavy boobs. The Cleo Juna is a nice simple bra for everyday wear.

A better fitting band is likely to help with the back fat.

Afternoon Sorrel. The M&S stories aren't getting any better are they?

Good Lord what a difference! Thank you.... The search begins.

Just spotted my typo, I did mean 34E!

Thanks Sorrel .
Hopefully will return home tomorrow and bin the terrible bra I'm wearing!

CP - Not they're not. I don't know what is more depressing, the bad fittings or their refusal to engage in a meanigful discussion about their service.

Tortoise Good luck!

The M&S Stories are not improving at all. Someone on twitter suggested making up template letters?

A little more advice if you please ladies. I'm happy enough with the feel and fit of my new 36E bras BUT I can still pull them quite far away from my chest. Should I be looking to downsize the back before I invest in any more new bras? After magically somehow losing inches instead of weight, I'm measuring at 35.5 under and 42 over.

I get my bras fitted by the wonderful T-J at www.bras4all.co.uk/. She can size you on sight! I know she does fittings via skype and she also has a network of trained fitters that come to your home.
I'm rather well endowed with my norks and her service has been a godsend for me.
Found her when I was pg but she does do "normal" bras as well as some specialist ones too iyswim

If you can still pull them quite far (I presume you mean you can actually pull the wires away) then I would maybe consider trying a 34F/FF just to see.

I can pull the central half of the wires away from my chest if I pull at the centre of the bra. Does that make a difference?

That does often suggest too big a back if you can move them much

I shall try a smaller back then

Back from Bravissimo fitting with DD, she's now got a Fantasie Elodie and a Shock Absorber in 34F. She's delighted with her Elodie, as her previous bra was kind of squashing her boobs together (as well as giving her a quadraboob).

After an hour or so trying on bras we went to Patisserie Valerie for some cake and hot chocolate so that was an afternoon well spent! :)

I could have sworn I added a message but can't see it.... Anyway, are M&S bras ok as bras, i.e. it's the sizing that's rubbish, or are they generally rubbish?

Depends on sizing - they seem to be a bit lacking in support/strength in bigger cups.

Can I request some help for my utterly horrid boobs?

32 under, 34 over...am I right in thinking that make me a crap 32b? . I have nothing to 'scoop' but whenever I've worn a 32 before (and I've worn a myriad of teeny tiny bras) its felt really tight?????

Thank you muchly

That would suggest a 32b as a starting point - do you have any in or around that size that you could pop on and maybe describe how they fit? Might help us to narrow down what size you actually need?

My Fauve Lucia in ruby red is arriving today! I am beyond excited

Is it the balconette or half cup?

Hello, hope I'm posting on the right thread. Was looking for some advice on size please? My measurements are 35 underneath and 42 on the dangle! I am breastfeeding at moment and probably will be for a good 6 months yet. Have a range of sizes in feeding bras from 34G to 38DD, none feel particularly comfy and I desperately need something new and prettier to boost my confidence! Your help is v much appreciated

Kissyfur I would say start with a 34F/FF. You may also want to try a 36F but they 34 is more likely.

There is a company who do underwired nursing bras - I think it's Anita. Panache do a few too which have been quite popular on these threads.

Hi, I'm a 33 under and a 41 over, currently wearing a 34f from asda but feel as if I could have more cup to it, there's a little overspill! What size would you recommend oh mighty bra geniuses!?
