They’re two seriously ugly bras. To be fair, the second one isn’t as bad once the harness(??) is removed.

BentleyRhythmAce · 14/03/2023 18:59

Porn? Seriously? They're just slightly fancy bras.

If we don't show photos of people with eating disorders who are thin why of them fat?

I find the second pic a bit ott

Don't find the bras offensive

Gosh, how do you have such insight into the model's medical history? Wait, you don't know that she has an eating disorder, you've just made it up.

Keroppi · 14/03/2023 19:02

The second one is cute without the harness but they only go up to a H and don't have nice larger bust features like wide straps or more hooks. Love the model diversity.

ClaraBourne · 14/03/2023 19:02

I can't get myself out of a sports bra, no chance with these, which would kill any romance daed.

What’s wrong with the 2nd one specifically?

It would show on the neckline under clothes

miawallacesfeet · 14/03/2023 19:05

@BentleyRhythmAce the person is obese which does portray disordered eating.

LanaDelRabies · 14/03/2023 19:07

Porn? Really?

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 14/03/2023 19:07

The second one is pretty. The first is ridiculous.

I'm a size 20 and it's got sod all to do with how much I eat.

miawallacesfeet · 14/03/2023 19:09

@LanaDelRabies really?

Don't you know, John Lewis doesn't want us boring old mums for customers now with our tedious floral midis and single sex changing room bigotry?
www.theguardian.com/fashion/2023/feb/10/john-lewis-declares-death-of-the-floral-midi-dress

They want body positive cool girls who wear straps across their nipples, not on their sensible cross-body bags.

And I for one am happy to give John Lewis what they want.

Jota67 · 14/03/2023 19:10

Porn??
Seriously!!
I think they are both fine.
I like the brand Playful Promises and have a lot of their stuff . These ones are not particularly nice but nothing wrong with them. I have far sexier stuff Wink

schmalex · 14/03/2023 19:12

These are hardly pornographic, they're just slightly fancy bras.

FKATondelayo · 14/03/2023 19:13

Porn influenced aren't they? Look at the black one and it all becomes clear Do you think a focus group of average women JL customers would say 'there's not enough little straps across our bra cups - that's the burning issue with bras today".

And women who want sexy underwear buy it from sexy brands. I can't think of anything more libido dampening than getting your naughty knickers from John Lewis.

TartanAndTweed · 14/03/2023 19:16

how are they pornographic? I don’t like the bra but I actually like the underwear. They’re fine and I don’t think they’re out of place in John Lewis at all.

Letsnotargue · 14/03/2023 19:17

Wow

I think the miniature cymbals come with it. This is by far my favourite..,

arghtriffid · 14/03/2023 19:17

The black version is indecent. <Clutches pearls>

arghtriffid · 14/03/2023 19:18

Flippin eck the cymbals! 😅

When would anyone see that bra & think
..Aha, that's perfect to go with my outfit!
?

HaveTheDayOff · 14/03/2023 19:20

They are rather raunchy. I shan’t wear them on a Sunday.

arghtriffid · 14/03/2023 19:20

I don't think clothes will be worn!

If someone took their clothes off in front of me wearing this I wouldn’t be able to not go and grab a couple of wooden spoons and get banging (no pun intended).

This is a weird choice.

YourWinter · 14/03/2023 19:24

Good grief!

My ex-H used to buy me crap like that from a market stall, and he wondered why I was never actually enthralled. JL have lost their way.
