Best for 32E/F bras??

laraluv42, 24 March, 2009 at 10:58 Posted on Off Topic Posts 0 17

Just wondered if theres anyone with same kind of bra size as me, looking for some nice undies for the honeymoon at the moment. Normally I can find the odd bra that I like and actually fits me. But I haven't really found one particular make that is good for my size.

I want to find somewhere that I can go and know that there will be something in my size and I will have a bit of choice IYSWIM

Anyone got any recommendations?

I've been in Debenhams & found one by Janet Reger that I'm just about to order in my size. Tried bravissimo - got about 5 bras, but ended up sending them all back!

    Second for Freya and I also buy Fantasie. I went to a shop that stocked both and got myself measured properly. I buy mine from Figleaves. I would also recommend getting the right size bra in the bikinis as well.

    Just looked at the Freya website, you're right they have some gorgeous bikinis!! Something else for my list. Can see I'm going to end up spending a fortune! Thanks girls.

    Me! I'm a 30E/F.

    Big vote for Freya undies here. They do lovely bikinis as well if you need one for your HM. I use Fig Leaves and Bravissimo websites to get bras, as they have a wide choice. You could also try Bra Stop (google them) - they are a kind of clearance site for bras and you can search by size. If you have any women's mags like Glamour to hand they usually have an ad in the back with a 10% off code.

    Recently I discovered the Gorgeous range at Debenhams, pretty bras in these sizes, quite affordable, padded or non-padded. M&S do some pretty ones, mainly Ceriso range I think but often padded which I don't like.

    Hi

    Get yourself re-measured (Debenhams are MUCH better at this than M&S) then I'd go for Freya - really pretty. Apparently you should get measured every three to six months, and, scarily, a bra should be chucked after three months. You should always start on the loosest setting and go in a notch every month. You should never be able to get more than two fingers under the back strap - or it's too loose and you need to go down a back size.

    I got measured and was a 32DD and had been wearing a 36B...oops! My man was overjoyed that I had 'grown' 3 sizes in one day, heh he.

    I'm a 32E and have tried loads of different bras. I love Ultimo bras, really pretty and give you a nice shape. Debenhams stock them, so I went and tried some on there and made sure I like them. Now I just get them off their website.

    I've got that bikini but in a different colour. I found it really comfortable and really supportive and was more than happy swimming in it. The only slight downside I found was that the halterneck design gave me neck ache, I think my boobs are too heavy to be held up by my neck muscles! It was extremely flattering though and I didn't get that feeling that I was going to 'fall out' like I do with balconette bras.

    Oh and I'm a 32E too.

    I am another 30E. I love Figleaves for their choice but if I need a bra in a hurry I go to Debenhams for the widest choice that I can try on (I often find shops start at 32E and not 30E, very frustrating!)

    Feeling slightly inadequate as I'm only a 32D but I like La Senza for everyday bras, M&S for nice posher sets and actually Next for bikinis as they do cup sizes but may not go up as far as you need. My bikinis tend to be underwired then have halterneck thin straps which are comfortable, secure and less tan lines.

    Hope that helps.

    ooo I didn't know that! I have been too scared to go into lovely underwear shops since I almost got thrown out of Wolford for daring to ask for a 32DD ?

    Bra stop do great quality bras too.

    Woohoo, thank you all. Loads of help here. I think I'm going to order some Freya ones from figleaves first and progress from there. Going to get a couple of bikinis as well.

    Thanks!
