I love Bravissimo. I have been a loyal customer for years and DH and I are counting down the time until it's a year after I last breastfed and we can go nuts buying nice sets again. I'm only 3 months pregnant though, so that will be quite a while.

One thing - I would highly recommend not taking a breastfed baby with you when trying on exercise bras, as every time you take your bra off, said greedy little baby will think "ooh goody, dinner time" and will howl her head off when they get put away again. Twas not much fun.

Yup - I went from 36A to 32EE ffs.

I'm embarrassed about how wrong I had it.

DP still refuses to believe I'm EE though.

How funny, I went bra shopping today too.

My lost-its-elastic-slightly-greying-34D has now been replaced by a stretchy-lacey-rather-racey-32E. My daft dh will def. think my boobs have grown.

Damn, this is a problem for me. I need more cup support, but twice I got measured they insisted I'm a 34D -- I've tried 34D, gives me terrible stomach cramps. I timidly ask about 36-something instead since 34- is obviously too tight, they stomp off in a huff. Dunno what to do...

Debenhams in MK had a load of bras for the large of nork half price last week. Lots in the small back size (30/32) as well.

maidamess · 27/04/2008 19:23

So I think we can conclude by this thread that 99% of us are wearing a bra too big in the back. We are slimmer than we think, Hurrah!!

sushistar · 27/04/2008 19:32

oooh, i'm so going to bravissimo now!

Gobbledigook · 27/04/2008 19:39

Oh yes - I felt as if someone sat on my chest when I first wore my new, correct sized, bras! Now they just feel 'normal'.

36C to 32EE.
They didn't measure me.
They just knew.
Must go there soon for some maternity fittings.
