I can't believe it - the bra intervention really is amazing. I must say my boobs look amazing in my new bra!

If anyone hasn't done it, I urge you to get measuring according to the bra rules!! It's fab! I am evangelical about it!! Grin

Thanks SC, I hadn't realised how totally wrong my old bra size was.... You're right, much more fabric and wiring under armpits than before, so I guess it's all a case of getting used to it. It certainly feels much more supportive!

I'm a big fan of the bra threads too. I feel like I have boobs for the first time in a very long while.... Getting the back size right was a revelation in getting the cup size to actually be wide enough. -Sadly they are a bit matronly at my age but much better than before.

Thanks CP. Blimey...GG! Where on earth will I find those?? It's hard enough finding DD.

I can't scoop in the excess boobage in my DD, so it's obviously all wrong!

I went to get measures at Bravissimo after reading Bra Guru. The lady told me I was in the wrong sized bra's, but wouldn't tell me what size she thought I was until after I'd tried the bras on.

I went from a 40/42D to a 32FF, gobsmacked. Also went down a top size in clothes as my boobs are now in the right place.

Thanks.

Bravissimo, Debenhams and online. Brastop, mycurvesandme, and believe it or not Amazon. I'm a H/HH and there is actually choice in these sizes. not enough though!

Wow minx what a difference!

Minx179 · 20/07/2013 02:33

It certainly is. Where I hated my boobs before, they now look good, even if I say so myself. It's been three months since I got measured and bought some nice bras, instead of horrible functional ones, but I still find myself looking down to check them out occasionally then denying it to DH when he catches me.
