Bra problem

11 replies

midgebabe · 20/03/2018 07:56

So fantasie have a problem and their 30hh are now at least 2 inches bigger around the back.

Fantasie are the only make I know that fits and stays comfortable all day.vhave worn them for over 30 years

Bravissimo have some other makes in my size, but by teatime I will be rubbed sore under the band

I need a new bra, the elastic is going and the hooks are warped on my existing ones. What can I get? If. I travel 2 hours to the city, there is no guarantee they will have anything to fit there which really make me feel abnormal.

Or do I diet? AT 5 ft 6 and 60-61 kg I am not overweight ?

Or surgery? That seems so vain, and I dread the way men will notice..some never look at my face as if is

Thanks for any thoughts

Have you tried Elomi?
Bravissimo have a newer style called Selina that is smooth under the band, I find it very comfy
Brastop is my recommendation - they do free returns and fast refunds so you could order a few and then return

Ahhhh I completely forgot about that - I'm a 32 and I remember thinking I need to not lose more weight otherwise they won't fit! Grin
I do really like the bravissimo selina, but otherwise give Brastop a try. Freya might be worth a go too
If you're desperate, there's a product called a rixie clip that tightens/shortens bands

Which Fantasie model suits your shape best? They also make Freya (with the same bigger bands in 3 hook sizes!) and some styles come in the equivalent 28J- Hero and Fearne are the first that come to mind.

Thanks I'll give them ( brastop and Freya) a go ( just hope the Freya aren't suffering from the inflation problem!)

I think Fantasie have always been bigger in the band than other brands so it's probably worth going to a Bravissimo to try on other bras and find what fits. In fact I have 2 nude Fantasie bras that according to the label are the same size but one fits perfectly and the other is too big.

I've got some 28 back Fantasie and Freya bras (from Bravissimo), could you try going down a back size in a few different styles and see what works?

heckythump01 · 21/03/2018 07:40

Freya rio bras please try they fit like a glove and soooo comfy ! Not the prettiest looking but nothing else fits and supports me as well....always go back to them! Im a 32 gg
