Bra help for my mum

7 replies

mzdemeanour · 14/01/2014 21:28

At long last have succeeded in getting my mum to let me measure her as I am sure she is wearing the wrong size. Her measurements are 35 and 39.5 .... Can any of the bra gurus tell me what size that makes her?
TIA

Start by trying a 34DD/E and 36D/DD. 34 more likely IME

She should try 34DD, 34E, 36DD, and 36D. I suspect she'll be better off with the 34's most likely the DD.

Snap!

Thanks v much. She is very disbelieving but happy for me to try ordering a couple in those sizes. Any ideas what style/make might be worth trying? She's in her 70s so nothing too low cut/balcony!

The Panache Andorra is quite pretty and full cupped and in the nude colourway does remind me a little bit of, forgive me, those old lady style bras in the backs of magazines!

Fantasie Esme is very supportive. Some websites claim it's a moulded bra but it's not, just strong fabric.

My MiL really likes the Fantasie Serena too.
