Which one would be good for boobs that are bottom heavy and go round the side? Bra stop have 40% off today.

CKs are a bit funny, there is a big difference between the showgirls (tempt/tease/thrill me, entice, fleurty etc) and the unpadded. And there is the Smoothie too.

Brastop do free returns and are pretty good so I would suggest ordering a selection. Generally the showgirls are good for wide, but sometimes don't have the depth for very full on bottom so it depends a bit how FOB they are. The showgirls run small in the cup and on the loose side band wise so if you are say a small 30 with a g cup, go for a 28H. Smoothie generally gets pretty good reviews so could be worth trying and I have heard it's good for bottom heavy.

Ah ok so 31.5" underbust, 41" overbust dangling? Definitely not a 32DD - those measurements make you more like a 32G!

charlottesmum5 · 08/09/2013 18:11

37 over bust but 41 when I dangle.

We normally find the dangle measurement is more accurate/closer to your actual bra size than anything taken standing up. The only time the standing measurement is any good for overbust is if you are already wearing a very very good bra. I'd start with the G and work your way down as it is much easier to spot a cup which is too big than one which is a bit too small

I got that email today so have just ordered a Tease Me in both 32GG and H, in ivory/purple, will see how they turn out. I love the showgirl range, and they stock loads, but they never seem to have them in my size :-( so hope these are ok.
