Bra intervention may have changed my life.. now just one thing...

[GeeandTea]

I have been lurking on a couple of the bra intervention threads. Yesterday I finally got the chance to go and try a couple of bras on and, lo and behold, today I am wearing a 30C (instead of 34B) bra and it is sooo comfy, no more massive gaps where my boobs should be, no more forever hoiking the shoulder straps up. Hurrah!
One question though. Not much choice of shops round my way, and whilst I buy a lot of stuff over the internet, I do like to try bras on. So, are M and S bras terrible, or is it just their measuring service that is so bad? They are pretty much the only underwear shop in the local town and I can't afford the £££ that some bras seem to be.
I got a Calvin Klein one yesterday from TK maxx. Am I better off just waiting for bargins like that? (Wouldn't mind buying CK bras on internet now that I know which size fits so could just do it that way?)
Any thoughts? TIA

ebay ebay !!!!

ex bra fitter here and I get all mine there! some that were £35 i have got for a tenner. Debenhams sale is often a good place to pick some up also.

congrats.

check out the ebay store Belle Lingerie.

M&S bras are fine it's their fitting that's to be avoided at all costs.

Zalando might be a good option for internet ordering 'cause of the free delivery and returns. You might get lucky with CK bras online but IME there's often a significant difference in fit between styles with a lot of brands.

Brilliant, thank you. I do ebay for a lot of stuff but wouldn't have thought of looking for bras there. (Presumably not 'pre-loved' ones!)

I agree that M&S bras are fine and TBH the comfiest ones I have are from there. The memory foam ones are particularly lovely IMO, good support without feeling like you're wearing armour!
