I need a good quality BRA!

34 replies

Jurysout2 · 23/08/2015 22:12

And pls don't suggest Rigby and Peller or the other one as I can't afford them.

32F in size, cannot find my size anywhere in high street shops, M and S, Debenhams (I managed to find 2 decent ones 3 months ago). I've now looked online, but don't and now thinking this may be the way to go, but can't tell whT their quality is like and never heard of any of the names before.

Please where do normal women by bras from that are within the £20-£25 pound range? Cannot where Primark ones as they make me itch although fit very well.

Have a look at brastop.com. They have loads of branded quality ones on sale. I order loads of sizes and styles to try at home.

im surprised you didnt find your size in debenhams. They definitely do that size and much more obscure sizes than that.

Howver their own brand bras are often tight in the band, so you might want to try a 34f

treaclesoda · 23/08/2015 22:22

Brastop or My Curves and Me often have good discounts.

Panache, Cleo, Curvy Kate, Fantasie, Freya are some good quality brands with plenty of bras in that size. Once you know what shape/brand is comfortable, it should be possible to pick some up at a reduced price.

dementedpixie · 23/08/2015 22:24

34F wouldn't have the same cup size as a 32F. If you went up in the back size you would need to go down a cup size to get the same cup volume e.g 32F has the same volume as 34E and 36DD

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 23/08/2015 22:27

These M&S ones won't win any beauty contests but they are lovely and soft and non-itchy, amazingly cheap and come in your size. I actually had to size up in these from my usual 32E to a 34G!!!

KanyesVest · 23/08/2015 22:27

I'm 32 F, and these are the only bras I will ever wear again. Love them

clary · 23/08/2015 22:29

Yes I agree Brastop.

Order lots maybe in a few different sizes and send back any you don't like. If you are 32F Freya/Fantasie might be good.

The Freya bras I've seen all seem to be into £30 range, but I'll look again. debenhams have stocked my size in in the same style for over a year! I have 2 from them. They are ugly but fit, but make me look mahoosive was mortified at recent holiday pics
The M and S ones must have recently come in last time I went in I was told, that size is not popular so I'll check them as well. Honestly I'm passed the sexy bra stage now, I just want to wear a decent bra. I have been managing with the 2 bras and some old 34e ones I had years ago.
I will definitely look at the bra stop website, that's got me really excited! Straight after shopping DC off to bed. Thank you ladies!

Bravissimo?

treaclesoda · 23/08/2015 22:45

bargain in your size Smile

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 23/08/2015 22:46

Fantasie ones are nice but the quality seems to have gone down a lot lately.

Jurysout2 · 23/08/2015 22:46

"Bravissimo", yes that's the other one I can't afford Grin. Honestly how do people buy a stack of bras costing around £30-£40 each Shock I need to but at least 5.

Freya are my favourite and I'm about your size. It does depend a bit on your general proportions/shoulders/shape.

Freya balconette styles I find easy to wear e.g. Rio/Faye/Gem plus Fantasie Serene or the T-shirt type balconette ones for a plain bra.

Most of these are on Debenhams website.

Ginpuss1 · 23/08/2015 22:57

Yes Bravissimo are good. If they have a shop near you you could look for any bargains too. I use Simply Be as they have some pretty bras in larger size cups.

SorrelForbes · 23/08/2015 23:01

I wear Cleo which is a sister brand of Panache and they retail for less than £30.

Ginpuss1 · 23/08/2015 23:01

I've always been larger cup size than average (those damned bust improvement exercises I did at 13 worked too well) so I've had the expensive bras problem for years. You can get cheaper ones now, but £30+ has been the norm for me for years

ToTheStarsMorag · 23/08/2015 23:03

I'm not sure I've ever bought 5 bras in one go, I've only ever bought Freya as a minimum and occasionally have had to stick with owning just 2 or 3 well fitting ones. I think past a certain size cheap just doesn't work sadly.

Lweji · 23/08/2015 23:05

A range of sale bras in your size

Lweji · 23/08/2015 23:07

For when you need a good bra and can't afford many, I'd go for a good nude strapless with detachable straps. It's adaptable to loads of outfits and you can wear them under a variety of clothes.

ammature · 23/08/2015 23:09

Freya are often reduced in debenhams, I've easily found styles for 20 quid but maybe not in neutral colours. Im 32G and those are my favs.

clary · 23/08/2015 23:15

I just bought this one gorge colour and it's my new fave :)

Thing is with brastop they don't tend to be in plain colours. I quite like that tho. My typical morning choice is between bright pink, dark purple, red lace and pale green tartan Grin

WeMissYouHissedTheLovecats · 23/08/2015 23:36

Chantelle ones in the sale to hit your price point. Or accept that quality doesn't come cheap and pay the £50-60 full price, safe in the knowledge that they last more than twice as long as cheaper one.
