Re: Buying Bras
If you have smaller boobs, buy the cheap cute ones at any random store. For us larger chested girls (i'm a 38G), go get a proper fitting and it makes a world of difference to to spend the extra money on a good quality bra. I get mine at Nordstrom. They do free fittings and have a nice selection. My favorite brand is Chantelle. Really pretty and amazing fit.
Re: Buying Bras
We used to have a wonderful little store in the old part of Stockholm that a old couple ran and they would sew 2 bras together if you had different cup sizes like most women have. It cost more but was so worth it. Those bras you wore until they fell apart.
The best bra I ever had was with padded straps and crossed in the back. Straps always slide down from my shoulders. Always in pain in neck, shoulders and arms. Been thinking about surgery but I'm scared. My sister did it and I have worked in a surgical ward where we had did it. The tubes afterwards freak me out and it's tales a long loooong time until everything is back to normal. It's easier to enlarge them.
I loathe buying bras. Mentally I prepare like I'm going to war before I hit the stores.

Re: Buying Bras
Yeah, M&S have a fair selection; of course, it depends where you go. London definitely has the best shop. The one near where I live annoys me cuz it only ever seems to carry my cup size, E, in horrible beige boulder holders. I get really annoyed at that cuz I want to wear pretty bras and it takes me ages and ages looking for some.crooked soul wrote: in London UK.. I remember finding bras in Mark's and Spencer - believe it or not.. Brent Cross shopping city had a great selection - really classy- lacy kinds.. that don't look like your grandma would wear..
don't know how it is now - haven't been to UK in a while - but I always remembered a great bra section there..
I only wear underwires and uplifting bras for sexytimes and going out. I get those kind of bras at Ann Summers.

Re: Buying Bras
In London and generally in the UK, you have Bravissimo with a nice selection of beautiful bras from 28-40 D-K... Quite a lot of brands that produce wide range of sizes are British. Others are Polish - check our bras from Ewa Michalak, I wear them myself and they are absolutely the best.

Re: Buying Bras
Obviously, he didn't include anyone over a C cup in his study. Do a study of D and above chests and women 40 and over and see how your study turns out.
Re: Buying Bras
I used to work with a really nice woman who believed wearing a bra would negatively affect her flow of chi. She was in her 40s, had no children, was a non-smoker, and was buxom. Her breasts sagged so badly. So I kind of question that study.Inessence wrote:Much ado about nothing? If only side boob was en vogue...

Kristi, he included women with boobs even smaller than that. that guy is French and the French are not reputed to be big breasted. More than that, most of them don't wear the right size of bra - these French exclusive laces look nice enough but they don;t produce much out of standard A-D, even Chantelle goes only to G, French/European one which is smaller than a British G.
btw, D and DD cups are not the biggest possible, here the proof:

btw, an article from me about this French idiot will be on Hekate's Passage blog on Wendnesday...

Re: Buying Bras
Yeah I know. I'm saying he obviously didn't include big breasted women in his study and only young women. If he included older/big breasted women, his study would've turned out differently.

Re: Buying Bras
I'm an E cup. If I didn't wear a bra, I'd get the most terrible backache to go with sagging boobs.

Re: Buying Bras
I just went to buy more bras today and got another fitting. These things need to stop growing. I'm this close to hacking them off with a sharp object.
Boobs suck.

Re: Buying Bras
Ugh. I need some more everyday bras, and it's impossible to find pretty ones in my size, ie 40E. Big breasted women want to wear pretty bras just the same as small breasted women, bra manufacturers!
