Did anyone watch the bra feature on This Morning?

[beccajoh]

Seemed to me that none of the girls were really wearing the right size?! Particularly the first girl. TOTALLY the wrong size

Thank you! I was shouting at the screen. That pink one was a horrendous fit. The wires were nowhere near her body

I missed it. I feel sad and relieved all at the same time!

Deep breath, dives in:

1st lady - none of those bras fitted her! The gores are floating so far away from her body. They're probably at least three cup sizes too small for her.

Sports bra - didn't look too bad although it was rising up a bit at the back.

Strapless bras - The black one was a little too small in the cup. The beige M&S one was way too small!

The pink Panache bra - it looked a little narrow for the model but it wasn't too bad. She could probably have gone up a cup or two (I bet she hadn't scooped, as I could see back bulge!). Why did they choose a model with (approx.) 30F cup boobs to demonstrate an attractive bra for larger busts? They should have used a GG+ model at least.

Are we saying that the wire needs to lie flat against the body?

Mine have never done that

Yes, the wires should lie along the inframammary fold (not on breast tissue) and the central gore (between the two cups) should lie completely flat against your body.

I'm sure they said the model at the end was a DD. Either way she was hardly the right choice for modelling larger sized bras.

Ok, definitely in the wrong bra then as she was more like a 30F!

Yes, I thought they were supposed to lie flat - I have bras that 'fit' as far as they can that are only a couple of inches away so they will have to do.

Laurie - mine never used to either. Until I tried a particular plunge balcony shape and realised I wasn;t so much wearing the wrong size as the wrong shape.

LaurieFairyCake You probably need to go up a few cups and maybe looks at different style.

And also I prefer the cleavage produced by them not lying flat - if they were to lie flat with a gap between they'd be under my armpits and would look very unnatural and much larger than they look that in a bra that doesn't fit perfectly.

There are no larger cups in bras that I would wear

LaurieFairyCake Sorry, I disagree. You need the right size bra that will give you side support to prevent that 'East/West' look.

Have you tried any of the following plunge styles?:

Freya Deco
Bravissimo Satine
Curvy Kate Elegance (I have this one, the gore sits flat and it gives amazing cleavage!)
Ewa Michalak S or CHP styles
Curvy Kate Tempt Me

Have you measured following this guide?

This is the Elegance:

The Elegance is very pretty but too pushy-uppy for me

They don't go up to my size either - currently wearing a curvy kate 34K with about 2/3 inch gap between the wire and my chest

Measuring with that guide I am 34 band and 48 over - so 14 inch difference

I commented on another thread about all the armpit boobs on that feature. Dreadful.

That suggests you need a bra size in the region of 34JJ.

I don't find the Elegance gives a lot of lift (I wear Cleos or EMs for that) but pushes them together (a lot!) to give good cleavage.

LaurieFairyCake It sounds to me that you want 'them' front of centre rather than falling outwards or having major cleavage? Have you tried the Panache Jasmine?

Not found a 34jj or a 34k that fits with the wires touching the chest. Its not just that there's a 14 inch difference, its that theyre very full breasts - they look fake tbh and they sit up high already so push up isnt so good.

I reckon I've tried every bra on the market thats not push up and none fit 'properly'.

have you tried the panache tango? i find that really good-keeps them upfront-very supportive.

The tango is the one that separates mine and gives me the East/West look described above

I look hilarious in it - and I can't move my arms

You're right Sorrell, I want them at the front and not at the side - they look smaller that way - I have a very small frame, only 5ft tall so pushing them to the sides looks really odd

what's the east/west look?

Really far apart hill tops - mine would be over my arms
