Bravissimo - which one?

Having a bra intervention with my sister (size 12 with medium boobs wearing a 38C!) in a few weeks.
We are about equal distance from Leeds and Newcastle with good road/rail links in each. Which bravissimo is biggest/best? And do either have other shops quite close that we could go bra shopping in afterwards? We are going to make a day of it I think!

I live in the SW so can't advise but what I will say is that if you get fitted at Bravissimo, you'll struggle to find better bras on the high street, especially if you're smaller than a 32 band!

Thanks sorrell. I get all of mine from bravissimo, but she's used to paying £5 for asda so not sure how comfortable she's going to be paying £25 minimum. Especially as I think her measurements are very very wrong and she's going to need to replace everything. I had hoped there may be a Debenhams/house of Fraser etc nearby which may have some bargains in the sales

I recently got checked at Bravissimo for sizing/brands and then ordered about ten bras from Figleaves with a 25% off code with free delivery and returns. The code has expires now but Figleaves do them quite frequently. Could persuade her to buy one from Bravissimo then top up with online buys and spend the rest of the day shopping for more stuff!

When she's in Bravissimo try to make sure that she works out her size in as many brands/shapes as possible - maybe try to cover Freya, Panache, Cleo and Curvy Kate if possible. That way she can order lots online after with a higher success rate!

The best way to get cheap big cup bras is definitely online although IME the Debenhams sales can be very good. Online brastop, mycurvesandme, amazon, debenhams, largecuplingerie, ebay and numerous others.

I've been in the Leeds shop and its good. Haven't been to the Newcastle one though. The Leeds one is right in the middle of one of the arcades, plenty of shops for you to make a day of it. Leeds has some lovely shops.

If you're travelling a distance it might be worth making an appointment btw.
