Bra Intervention

84 replies

Last year I was lucky enough to have help on the Bra Intervention threads and bought 4 lovely new bras. Unfortunately I now need help again. Since then I have lost at least a stone and my bras do not feel comfortable at the moment. This isn't helped by muscle pain I am having but I would like to check what size you clever people think I should be wearing.

I have measured. Underneath I am 30 1/2 and leaning forward and across the breasts I am a 39.

TIA Cake.

Yup! The gore should sit flat between your boobs

Quite often it also means the band is too big as well

I was told by a M&S fitter that "you won't get a bra to sit flat against your chest."....

bangs head on wall that's disgraceful. Absolutely disgraceful.

I was told that too (as she shoe horned me into a 36D)

Hi , I need a new bra, currently resorting to comfy one size fits all but supports nothing ones.

Are John Lewis any good? I know they do freya etc.

Cheeky hi to the toffee. I'm off that thread at the mo, but can't stick to it. Dammit.

John lewis are pretty much the best of the department stores and generally fit pretty well.

Hi Peplum41. Grin. I am stuck on 11 4 at the moment but don't go on the thread for other reasons.

I tried JL twice and didn't have the best experience but I think I just got the staff on and off/very busy day.

I was going to Debenhams as the lady there, Anne, is awesome but I might brave JL and Bluewater as there are other shops is no sizes there.
