Bras and tights help

10 replies

Hello

Does anyone know where I can get good quality nude (or similar) fishnet tights. I don't get on well with normal tights but fishnet ones are OK.

Also, is there anyone who does unwired bras in a 36 A/B? I have some nice dresses which really need decent bras.

Thanks in advance folks.

What dress size are you? I would hazard a guess thst you are wearing the wrong bra size.

Have a look at the bra intervention threads and check you're in the right size (not M&S size) - eg lots of info on this one: www.mumsnet.com/Talk/style_and_beauty/3181585-Weird-shaped-boobs?pg=1

I've got nude fishnets online before, but I saw them in Accessorize the other day. uk.accessorize.com/view/product/uk_catalog/acc_5,acc_5.11/1961850600

No - I'm the right size - 90cm underbust 95 at widest point - I lift so sometimes it's tricky getting straps to fit. That and I hate underwires so I usually wear sports crop tops. Thing is, these are mostly raceback so they don't really go with much in the way of formal stuff with a low neck (or backline).

I'll check out Accesorize. Thanks.

I am generally a size 12/14 - more a 14 on top and 5'2. I can go for smaller sizes if things have give or are sleevless.
Mind you - DVF dresses seem to be a bit on the larger side - most designer stuff tends to be smaller on me.

I've bought nude fishnets from Asos in the past, but also cheap ones from eBay- the quality seems pretty similar regardless of price. If you have a dance wear supplier near you they will probably stock them as well - they tend to be a bit more sturdy (apparently Tina Turner wears them onstage as support tights!)

I've seen this website recommended on here, might be worth a go: www.littlewomen.com/small-bras

I wear nonunderwired M&S bras that size (when comfort is my first priority)

JohnMcCainsDeathStare · 16/09/2018 22:05

I have to say that I can recommend Little Women for their speedy service. Not the cheapest but its nice being able to get grown up bras in my size - petite or girl bras don't cut the mustard since they don't go over my shoulders and that I have a large chest-back measurement.

I had this which is wired but v v comfy and in store they did a non wired version, so that might do the trick?
