Bravissimo is fantastic!

Went today, in despair about inability to find bra that fits, and how awful I look in t-shirts. In fact I had given up wearing them altogether and thought it was because of middle-aged spread, plus in the absence of decent bra was relying on M&S support vests which had a horribly flattening effect.
Anyhoo...
WEnt to Bravissimo, waited half an hour for a fitting and then - goodbye saggy 34DDs and Hellooo! to perky 30Fs (and 30FFs [shock}) My bosom hasn't been so uplifted since I was 25! I looked like I'd lost 10lbs.
And yah boo sucks to M&S whose fitter told me I was a 36C!

It was the last in R&P's Prima Donna seamless, I'm afraid. It lacks a certain va-va-voom but looks fabulous under T-shirts, as it makes me look both youthful and virtually bra-less. In a youthfully supported way.

I shall! I am confidently expecting to be mistaken for Hilda off Ugly Betty (THE queen of the push-up) afterwards!

Norktastic - very impressed by the customer service, well worth booking a 20 min fitting slot if you need to go at a weekend.

Dh most appreciative of the result, sufficient validation indeed for laying down hard-earned cash.

The fitting lady measured me simply by eye (what a job, incidentally) and I was very pleased with everything she brought out. Top service, mucho bravissimo.

Aloha - did the wrinkly bust treatment work? Interested because I have a wrinky chest area above my breasts (the area that gets caned by the sun when you wear a round neck or v neck t shirt)and have been considering getting something done about it.

I'm a bit less impressed today, giving one of the new bras a full test drive. Is it just a law of nature that underwires are uncomfortable, despite the lady from Bravissimo assuring me they are fine if you get one that fits properly?
