Thought I had bought sexy bras and they are not. Bigger boobs curse.

So I thought I would go and buy some new underwear that was a good fit and also 'sexy'. So bought curvy Kate bras in red and black and they fit great. I was excited for my husband to see me in the new bras. But after a moment of clarity I've realised my sexiest bra is one that I bought in la senza ages ago and that is half cup way too small.

I am a 30e. My new bras have thick awful straps and are full cup. Even in red looks like something women of a certain age would wear.

Really fed up. Sigh.

It's all right having a well fitting bra but what I think I'm going to take them back and just get some sexy stuff that doesn't fit at all but makes me feel good about myself.

And my new bras create all sorts of unflattering lumps and bumps! My old la senza one makes me look toned and smooth! No lumps and bumps at all!

Rant over. Sorry.

Gorgeous at debenhams balcony bras are great - nice and uplifting, good shape under clothes, very appealing to the eye.... I love them! (32f normally. Can't find anything at all for my massive pregnancy 34h boobs Sad)

Worst thing is, most women are around a 32 E/F + but just don't realise it! They're often wearing the wrong size..happened to me, I thought I was a 34D, but turned out I was a 32F. Sadly that change made bra shopping near impossible for pretty bras.

I'm bigger than you but I don't think I own a single full cup extra wide strap matronly bra. There's loads of choice nowadays - and don't go for wrong sizes, you will only get back ache.

My favourite brand is Fauve, very good quality but you can find great bargains. Those all come in your size www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2050601.m570.l1313.TR3.TRC0.A0.H0.Xfauve+30e.TRS0&_nkw=fauve+30e&_sacat=0

One of my friends is a bra fitter. I pointed at at a dinky little silk balconette style piece of gorgeousness and she just said "absolutely not. No chance."

I just want thin straps. But it isn't to be.
