Decent white tshirt and nude bra?

19 replies

Toastandstrawberryjam · 09/09/2014 16:57

Do they exist? I want a tshirt that isn't so clingy it sticks to my skin. That doesn't ride up or look crumpled within the first 5 minutes. And doesn't show my bra outline.

And a nude bra that doesn't show through said tshirt.

I've been hunting all year! Can any of you S and B ladies help??

French connection for the t-shirt.

Freya for the bra.

Nude bras that (IMHO) don't show through:

Cleo Juna
Panache Idina

SorrelForbes · 09/09/2014 19:56

Oops, posted too soon:

Bravissimo Satine
Curvy Kate Daily Boost

Off to do some internet research on those bras. Are they for the smaller sized woman? I need something that makes me look less like an ironing board!

FC for the tshirt - will look at those. Anywhere else? Gap used to do lovely ones but changed their fabric a few years ago.

What bra size are you? Have you measured as per the Bra Guru?

Toastandstrawberryjam · 09/09/2014 22:30

I've been wearing a 32b for years. Will check the bra guru....

I like the Gossard Glossies.

Chantelle Hedona for the bra doesn't show and is a good shape even for the generous of nork. No comment on white T shirts! Mine never stay white for long so I get cheapies and replace frequently.

Toastandstrawberryjam · 10/09/2014 11:05

That bra guru makes me a 26DD. I have no chance of ever getting a bra in that size!!!

Have you looked at John lewis for a bra?

This www.johnlewis.com/john-lewis-marilyn-push-up-bra/p1171487?colour=Nude is good- but they do non-push up very similar and start at a 30 inch- some 28s in some styles.

SorrelForbes · 10/09/2014 11:10

Why not? If that's what you measure then it's entirely possible. A 26DD has the same cup volume as a 28D, 30C and a 32B so the same as the bra you're currently wearing. If you but your 32B on back to front. How far away from your body can you pull it? If you scoop, do you have overspill in the cups?

pinkfrocks · 10/09/2014 11:11

Are you really 26 inches under your bust? That's a teeny teeny back.....

Toastandstrawberryjam · 10/09/2014 11:16

Yes 26. I'm a size 6-8 and just ribs there. Unfortunately it all goes flabbier further down my body!!
If I put the bra I'm wearing on back to front there's a fair bit of room, but I wear them loose otherwise I get indigestion (bizarre I know).
Nothing really to scoop, if anything I tend to have a little bit of gappiness at the top of the cups.

Eat more cake :)

You would get used to a tighter band you know. I used to wear a 34B and now ear a 32D. I measure 31 back and could get into a 30 band but that's a bit uncomfortable.

You ought to try a 30D, or a 28DD.

Toastandstrawberryjam · 10/09/2014 11:50

Unfortunately eating more cake seems to end up on my arse and thighs :(

Off to try a 28D, that's the size my eldest DD is. Although if I get her to do the bra guru she probably isn't....

Where do I go for that size bra? I'm a primark girl, I've bought their bras for the last two years and have a huge drawerful of ones I thought fitted....

John Lewis 28DD

do you have a JL nearby or a waitrose to do click and collect?

pinkfrocks · 10/09/2014 12:36

sorry- the link is to 28D- but the range of sizes is on each bra in the link

AndIFeedEmGunpowder · 10/09/2014 12:39

I really like J Crew T-shirts. They are close fitting but not tight, have a nice neckline and are long so they don't ride up.

SorrelForbes · 10/09/2014 13:00

Have a look at Mimi Holiday and Made in Preston for 26" bands. Bravissimo, Bra Stop, My Curves and Me, Amazon and Leia Outlet all stock 28 bands.

I'm a size 12 and only me sure 29" underneath. I wear a 30 band.
