Bra Measuring

13 Jul 2008

*sorry chaps, quite a girly thread!*
Okay, bra measuring. Is it the modern equivalent of alchemy or some other wierd science? :shock: I swear every time I am measured I am told a completely different size. And then somehow, the bras I have all seem to fit me.
Odd! dunno

(And, I should add, that in a previous career I was twice trained to do this by two different retailers and both did it slightly differently. I guess I shouldn't be surprised at the discrepancies then should I?! :doh smile

Anyways, being measured today was flippin hilarious - and resulted in me being told I have bigger boobs than I thought... silly

hwoar: No doubt just a ploy by the shop to get me to be all shocked and horrified and purchase a new bra!!
The trials we women go through! wink

I'd say 38DD. But I'm open to correction (later in the month - I always think a good feel is a reliable guide!)

ive gone to get measured a few times, and every time they are crap. in M&s now they just look at you and judge the size, one silly cow said i was a 40c. silly mare, my current bra, bought by chance that fits well is a 36 e.
i find it really hard to find a bra that fits.

I've never understood why you just can't take an old one in and ask for another one in this size.

13 Jul 2008

The last two times I have been told the same size, 32FF.. But like all clothes different designs come up differently.. For example in Freya I need a 32G, but in some I only need a 32F..
I hate the limited choice I have in my size.. Any recommendations for some sexy lingerie in those sizes most welcome..

Have you tried Bravissimo? Fantastic range of lingerie for those blessed with a larger bust.

I have real trouble with my over shoulder boulder holders - I have found Bravisimmo to be pretty good.. but way beyond my price range sometimes...
I'm not keen on underwiring either, I tend to wear soft sports bras now, but have trouble getting them too!
Oh well... confused

I went to Bravismo in leeds as lots of people recomended it.....when I got there they had loads of pictures on the wall with lovely and sexy bras but the range they actually had in the shop was crap.
I also found them to be a very big/full cup which is hard to wear when wanting to show cleavage.
Prices are way over the top too, it gets on my nerves that you pay over the odds because you have a bigger bust.
At the moment im shopping at La Sensa, not bad prices and getting more of a bigger range
