The comfy bra thing....

My pleasure ! I would definitely phone first... and book a fitting. After that they're very good, and if you phone, will tell you what they have in your size. Saves a wasted trip ! Hope you find something nice. Sue x

Atqui it's health issues that make losing weight difficult, but it doesn't stop us trying (me and my husband that is)! I'm not very mobile just now, but am allowed to drive thank goodness, so I can get to Desborough (or be taken). It sounds daft, but when I was slimmer it never occurred to me that my health could be a barrier to losing weight. I always thought I would just go on a diet (again) and the weight would come off if I sstayed on track.

Thank you for the info re the outlet in Northants. I am miles away from that area so I emailed them and had a very prompt reply with a link to their sister website. They have my favourite Fantasie bras at nearly half the price I normally pay. Thanks again.

Sorry to hear that Wilma

Not at all Atqui, it's still in my mind that I will get there some day!

Well - I went to M&S today and scoured the place for 40As - and found a bra that I would not normally consider - but it was in the right size. I tried it on and it was brilliant - they had two so I snapped them up! It is a sports bra with padded cups , something I have never gone for before - but I did not care as it is comfortable - hallelujah!

Luckygirl that's great! My SiL is an A cup and buys her bras from M&S, but she usually has to go to the Marble Arch store for them. She can get her size online, but likes to see the bras before buying. Problem is of course, styles keep getting replaced and she's back at square one. She's always said she doesn't need to wear a bra, but it keeps her decent if it gets chilly! M&S do bras in my size, but one might fit well, then the next one doesn't.

I beg its pardon - it is a "T-shirt bra", whatever that might be - but it's great!

I was totally, mind-boggled in my trawl round the M&S bra department - balcony, T-shirt, sports, underwired, non-wired, maternity (they looked the most comfortable - I was tempted!), post-surgery - my head was reeling! I felt like burning my bra and going native!

A t-shirt bra is a bra that doesn't show any seams through the fabric of a t-shirt so you get a smooth look.

PS If you found a t-shirt bra that you like, you'll wear it to death because it looks good under virtually anything!

I've always wanted a smooth look!

It does make a difference doesn't it?

Sad to say that 'Who Made Your Pants?' is closing down, with a closing down sale of all remaining stock.

I am a hefty 42G and find only Triumph make a non wired, comfortable and (much needed)supportive bra. I get mine online at needundies.com. They are direct and efficient and will change anything that does not fit.
My bugbear is the lack of colourful bras for my size in non wired. I end up with a choice of black or white !
