New bra following weight loss

7 replies

Over the past 5 months I've gone from a 12-14 to an 8-10. I'm finally down to my ideal weight and have maintained it fairly easily for about a month, so I'm pretty confident I can now start buying new stuff, rather than dressing in the left over bits of my wardrobe from 11 years ago (pre-child- yes it took me a while!)

Anyway - NONE of my bras fit right anymore. Even the ones I hung on to from when I was originally this weight. I guess aging + breastfeeding has multiplied the shrinkage so it seems like more than from weight loss alone.
Any decent brands/styles that could give me a bit of shape, perk them up a bit?! Reckon I'm about a 34B, maybe C.

booborbust.com try measuring to get a better idea of size

Shocked - M & S offer a free bra fitting service, hope info is useful to you.

I've recently done similar, I put a day aside and went to be measured at bravissimo, M&S and another underwear shop. All came up with different sizes, but I got about 6 bras that work for my new size.

M&S often add extra inches to the back size giving a bra too big in the back and too small in the cup

So I guess advice is that my first step should be to get measured properly. I'd try that booborbust.com, but I only have a metal tape measure...😬 😆

Measure with string or wool and then measure that on your tape measure?

Definitely go to a department store or Bravissimo. It is worth buying bras that fit well and are really comfortable, you cant get that online imo, if you're in London I can recommend some great places.
