Is it wise to buy a bra for the humungous of nork online? If so, where?

I'm a 36 / 38 G or Gg depending.
I really need a new bit of scaffolding but can't bear the thought of going to our nearest Bravissimo, which is not particularly near at all!
Is it a good idea to buy online or do I really need to try on being the size I am?
Anyone got any good suggestions for online shops or terrestrial ones? The cheaper the better too

Bravissimo can 'measure' you over the phone! Really, do it: you will never look back.

tbh i would go to a dept store, Fantasie are my preffered make.

Debenhams have a range called Gorgeous. Some of them are around £12

How in 'ecky thump's name does that work Wilf?! I'm intrigued.
Yes, hav had Fantasie bras before PC and they're a great fit usually. Think my nearest supplier of them is Debenhams though, they're situated in the land of Christmas shoppers.
Perhaps my norks will have to hang low till afer Christmas

Clearance

Have not heard of those Fimbo. Perhaps a trip to Christmas hell may be worth it then!

They do in store

Bravissimo have free return post policies so if its not the right style for you, its easy to send back.
I'd do it only if I was buying a repeat style.

I'm a 32G/GG and tried 3 different 32G's on in Debenhams from their GORGEOUS range. 2 were teeny tiny and one was massive (in that it fitted!)

I'd suggest buying the same make and size bra you already have from a company that does returns. I find that my size in Freya are always fine, so often get online bargains.

Thank you
I'll probably head into the town then and get measured up and put into a well known brand. Internet ordering after would be great

If you know what you want or don't mind taking time to look, try
ample bosom

DorrisMcWhirter · 21/11/2008 18:10

Ooo, never heard of them, taking a look now, thank you
