Brides, Bluewater, and big norks

[NorthernChinchilla]

My best friend is getting married and I'm her MoH. This weekend, we're bobbing to Bluewater to try to find some nice bridal undies.
Only issues are that she is quite petite, maybe a size 14ish, and very large of boob. She's a bit tomboyish like me, and hates her shape.
Also- and I'm a massive fan of the bra rescue threads on here and have successfully rescued my own Mum!- I can tell my friend wears badly fitting bras. So this is a bit of subterfuge to get her properly fitted and measured for the future! I've never dreamt of saying anything before as I know how she feels and know how hard it can be for the large chested to get decent fitting underwear.

So can anyone recommend where we should go to get fitted and get some nice, but not OTT undies for her wedding. And if Bluewater should fail, what next?

Rigby and Peller or Bravissimo are excellent.

She shouldn't be wearing a bra under her dress. The dress should have plenty of support in-built, unless she's gone for a high st one? I'm busty and for my wedding I had loads of boning in my dress. I was advised wearing a bra inside would just push everything up.

Ah, her Mum is making her dress, so not sure it'll be that complex iyswim, and certainly no boning.

Will definitely check out R&P and Bravissimo, thanks

I went to bluewater for mine and after going to R&P and finding nothing I got a beautiful set in Leia, near oasis. Good luck!

I don’t have any advice I’m afraid but there is no Bravissimo at Bluewater and Leia has closed down.

I think there is an R&P though.

I know there is a Boux Avenue but not sure if they have what you’re after.

As another very petite but ginormous upfront, i can honestly say no one did more for my confidence than R&P. No tape measures, just lots of love things that fitted. Do make an appointment, tell 'em its a surprise and enjoy. Congratulate yourself for being a lovely friend.

R&P saved me from boob hell. Such a relief to get a correct diagnosis re size.
