Bra fitting at bluewater

7 replies

Hello all

I'm in a ridiculous bra situation. Two kids down and I have no boobs. On my own (boob or bust) type measurements I'm measuring at 30E which are ridiculously difficult to find. I'm wearing a 34C but the cups are empty so I've just bought a 36B and it rides up and is clearly too big round.

Long story short, I need to be properly measured to find something to house my modest friends.

In bluewater, my options seem to be:
Leia
Marks and Spencer
John Lewis
Boux avenue
Rigby and peller (although it might be closed)

Which do you think would be best?

Could you get to a bravissimo? I think they are really good and my boobs always feel relieved (if that makes sense) when I get bras from them!

36B and 34C have the same cup volume. But what you've done is like saying you've tried a 12 which is too big so you've gone for a 14- your boob or bust measurement is more like a 10!

You don't need a measuring tape to know if it's comfortable. The gaping you've described may be purely down to the sizes you've tried, if it still happens then you may need a shallower cup.

Anyway, from the list you've got I'd start with Leia and/or JL before heading to Boux Avenue or Debenhams as they're likely to have more options.

Right and Pellet without a doubt if it's still open

Forget about M and S, they haven't got a Scooby Do how to fit a bra. They will just about go and bring a different size,but they do not go hands on.

I always go to Bravissimo but since having my baby struggled to get to Covent Garden so used Leia for my post pregnancy massive boobs and I was impressed with the staff, they were very knowledgable and I came away with two bras. Sadly they were about £40 each so about £10 more than my usual Bravissimo ones but the fit was fab!

Rigby and Peller every time for me!
