Where to get lovely but inexpensive bras?

Ok I'm getting measured after much stressing about the pancakes I'm left with after DS. I really liked my nice pert 32c pre baby boobs and what I have now is just not the same.
where do you get yours? I will need a whole new undies wardrobe as my current bras are just not right so I can't spend a fortune. Also while um on it what are your essential bra wardrobe items?

well, get yourself measured properly for a start

then after that I found H+M do brilliant bras for very little ££

I too have spaniel ears, not quite-34B's and found H+M's fit perfect for me

they have some lovely rich colours at the moment in padded, push-up styles, I bought a gorgeous purple one recently, DH loves it

I went from a 34bb pre 3 kids to a 34aa!
M and S. £8 each. They wash well and look natural. One of mine is 4 years old and is still going strong.

I like Tesco's, look at the style of cup as well as this makes a difference post breast feeding / post pregnancy

thanks you lovely ladies!

i'm getting measured in m&s (well unless i decide to have a coffee and gossip morning instead) but generally find thier bras a bit pants so will probably take their measurement with a pinch of salt and shop elsewhere. H&M will be my first stop!

If on a budget do have a look at tk maxx if one near you, I have managed to get la perla in there! But be prepared to spend time sorting through piles! Saw la senza are doing a bra of the week thingie where every week they sell one model at half price, again you may strike lucky here, they do have occasional nice bras but Also some real horrors!!

Good luck!!

Agree that la senza can have some gorgeous bras but some are real shockers! When I find a style that fits and flatters in there, I tend to buy it in a few colours. I have some very simple but pretty bras from there which cost around £10 each.

I'm off to get measured this afternoon. Hopefully I won't end up in tears like last time - I was very pregnant at the time and didn't like the thought of 32f bf boobs! Or the bolder holders suggested by m&s!
