And, if your DH bought you ladies sexy underwear (not you Percival), surely that would be a compliment as he thought you were sexy ??

[Grin] Percival, nothing like an ill timed, poor taste comment to get the ladies wound up. I'm sure some of them still remember my comments re leggings.

Maybe some of you could try it out on your OH's and see what they think?

But janerowena that could look quite sexy

Percival

I think nowadays if DBH tried to buy me sexy underwear he would find all the cheeks of his boxers cut out.

Brenda do you mean they go to the side of the cup, sort of at the back? I obviously haven't investigated bras enough lately, I wear t-shirt bras. They are fine when new, but I have to be really careful not to stick them in the tumble-dryer by mistake or the next time I wear them, my cup runneth over with a vengeance.

Also I have to make sure that the central bit between the two cups is reasonably substantial, I have known it to come apart on more than one occasion. Really embarrassing if you are out for the day.

I eventually got the courage together and went to a 'bra' shop to be fitted. Even there the same size bra in different makes fitted differently. The one I ended up with cost £75 but the lady did say that the M&S one I was wearing when I went fitted well.
I now know that I need bras that do not have straps attached to the cup but are on the band that goes around underneath so worth the visit.

I hang my head in shame.....

Yellow card, Percival

In poor taste Percival

Can't stand tights or hold-ups which means I hardly ever wear skirts.

Calm down Soutra, just a joke!!....

That's a bit patronising Percival !

Let's hope no one buys any sexy lingerie for you ladies today!!!....

rosequartz, I keep meaning to get a fitting, but am just too lazy!

I'm worried that if I didn't wear a bra I'd end up being able tuck my boobs in my knickers !

I bought pull on bras, and even they have straps that fall down. I hate bras, and tend to go without these days. There are occasions when I have to wear one but I'm always glad to take it off.

anno It's hard to find a bra with straps that don't slide down and if I tighten them too much, the cups ride up!
Perhaps you need a smaller 'around' size but a larger cup size (as advised by a bra fitter who told me she thought the majority of women wore the wrong size bra)
Can you go somewhere for a fitting?

GillT57 Snap! Although I do have some clunky flat shoes as an alternative to boots.

My old boss used to wear socks with sandals.

Polo necks, high heels, bras (since I retired from work I only wear one if going out somewhere special), nighties, dull and boring clothes.

rose surely someone as chic as you doesnt wear socks with sandals?
or are you like me, ankle boots with socks until the weather turns warmer then bare feet in sandals........only have one pair of high black (uncomfortable) shoes to wear with tights when absolutely necessary

I love my socks in the winter

Sandals in the summer

I like pop sox! Ordinary socks make my feet too hot, especially in boots.

DD is ashamed of me...
