    I have that, and it's really good. But as it's quite high up you can sometimes see it above your top.
    Thank you.

    I'm stuck between that and this:

    So, I got measured at Bravissimo - I thought I was a 32F (due to getting measured at LaSenza), I'm a fricken 28GG.

    What the funk is goin' on?

    Not only is GG neigh on impossible to find in the shops (apart from the granny looking ones) but the smallest backsize I can find is like 30. FML.

    Tried looking online, that's not as easy as I thought.

    Lack of choice + ££££££££price = Intentions of getting a boob reduction.


    Hey,

    I went to Bravissimo and was told i'm the same size which was annoying, its difficult to find 28GG bras!

    What I have found, is that 30G's are more avaliable (which is equivalent and still fits well). In Freya bra's i'm actually a 30FF. Debenhams have a sale on at the moment and i've managed to get some really nice bras there, some of them were only £7.

    Debenhams also do good basic bras in 30F/FF which you might find useful.

    *I don't work there, was just impressed with their range!*

    You can shop online too. They might not have much stock available in your local store. If you order online and it doesn't fit you can return to stores xx

    Why is it that my back is 33.5 but 34 bras are uncomfortably tight?

    Also I think I've gone up again. Where gives a really good measuring service? I was wearing a 36D but it's started pinching at the sides. I guess I could be 36DD or 34E?

    I find buying bras really frustrating though as I think my boobs are slightly wider apart than average and the middle bit never stretches

    'Cause bras suck?:confused: My back is 25.5 but for the bra to be comfortable for me it has to be 28.

    Bras are actually so frustrating in general :yep:

    I bought a 30D sports bra but it doesn't fit! It fitted in store so I don't know what the problem is. If anyone's interested, I'm selling it.

    I am looking for some really nice vintage underwear, especially longline bras. Mainly as me and my boyfriend are celebrating our three year anniversary soon and going away for the weekend. Does anyone know any good sites? I have seen some through google but wondered if any of you have special recommendations!
    Will rep! Thanks

    Oh no! I wasn't sure whether you were small enough sized to fit but it's always worth mentioning. I love the grey lace one that's in the sale, but like you not my size :no:

    I'm sure this has been discussed before and I've gathered that the general consensus is that M&S and La Senza are pretty bad for bra fittings. So where is a girl to go to get a decent measurement taken? Also this is slightly embarrassing but girls do you find that one of your breasts is slightly bigger than the other. If I cup mine in my hands, my left one is just ever so slightly bigger.

    Bravissimo and John Lewis are good. I have been fitted at Bravissimo and lots of girls on here have recommended John Lewis. Maybe debenhams too.
    And yes, I think most of us have one slightly larger than the other!!

    Could you go in for just a fitting? Because I always feel embarrassed to go and have a fitting and then just not buy a bra, especially as they are quite expensive for me.
