Bras!!!!!

17 replies

Hanginggardenofboobylon · 20/10/2013 19:01

Just thought I would share a bra bargain. 2 shock absorber sports bras for £32 at an outlet village. Every conceivable size in stock. Staff that didn't question my request for a small back/large cup size, in fact was very knowledgable and said she wore a 30 herself (so clearly been intervened at some point!) very impressed.

On another note, I have a bravissimo Satine that is falling apart, stitching on band all coming away. I have had it 6 months + Emailed bravissimo and they were apologetic and told me to return it stating washing method. Now I have washed in machine in a delicates bag, are they going to tell me to piss off? Is it worth sending back?

What does the washing label say?

Ahhh! I confess I always wash mine in the machine in a laundry net. Not sure how honest I'd be...

Hanginggardenofboobylon · 20/10/2013 20:15

I might just say washed in accordance with instructions. My machine has a hand wash setting and I have washed even dry clean only stuff on that.

Oh bollocks, just bought two satine bras today...
... Size 30G :-)

They do look bloody good though

Hanginggardenofboobylon · 20/10/2013 20:32

I wouldn't worry my other one is fine which makes me think it's faulty.

I will be machine washing them... On hand wash setting though.

I've had several satines too and all have been fine.

SorrelForbes · 20/10/2013 20:41

Yeah, should have said that my Satine has always been fine in a net in the machine.

Hanginggardenofboobylon · 20/10/2013 20:46

I will send it back and see what they say, free post so nothing to lose...

Which outlet village for the shock absorbers? I need a 30HH

Bras should always be hand washed. They will last longer and a good fitting bra will be the best investment you will ever make. Alicia kite x

Bugger too far away :(

Hanginggardenofboobylon · 26/10/2013 11:09

Got to love Bravissimo! Sending me a replacement no quibbles. Profuse apology.

Rare to find such good customer service these days ! Grin

Thanks for the tip hanginggarden, not far from me and need a black one desperately.

I've bought Shock Absorbers at the McArthur Glen in Livingston cheaply too.
