Any bravissimo girls tried boux Avenue?

[TickledOnion]

I’m a 30H in bravissimo but really don’t look it when I’m dressed. I went into boux avenue and they measured me as between 32 and 34 and couldn’t believe I could possibly fit in a 30 back.
I tried on some 30Gs but they didn’t look great even though the bras are so pretty. Are they just as bad as M&S?

I don’t rate them. They are a bit ‘La Senza’ for me. Tacky, overpadded, not that supportive, uncomfortable. ‘Style’ () over substance, IMO.

Yeah I think you’re right. They only seemed to have moulded cups in my size which don’t suit me at all. I think the staff (all very young and slim) thought I was some mad middle aged woman intent on wearing the wrong size.

I've bought string bikinis from them, and they've been fine, but I had a similarly shite bra fitting experience there.

I went in having lost a bit of weight and wearing a 34DD that I knew was definitely too large on the band and I also suspected the cup size was wrong. I was measured by a lady who insisted I was a 34D and did not listen when I was saying that the bras she kept bringing me plainly did not fit. Instead, she kept insisting the style of bra wasn't right and had me trying on loads of different bras that gaped on my back and my boobs were spilling out of the cups.
Anyway after wasting the best part of an hour, I went to Victoria's Secret and was re measured in there. Came out at a 32E (although bizarrely this size is called 32DDD in there) and bought some lovely comfy bras that fit perfectly.

They fitted my DD to the same size as bravissimo had fitted her and the bra seemed to fit ok

It’s because they use US sizing in VS, Regina

There back sizes are tiny. I'm a 30 elsewhere and a 32 in there. Think the cup sizes also sometimes on the smaller side.

Ah, thank you. Didn't realise sizing was different in the US!

They measured me in cm and then had a little conversion chart. I measure 75cm which is 30 inches but on their chart it’s a 34. So they are adding 4 inches by stealth.
