Where do my replies go? Can never see them!!

Ladies.... R&P have a Factory Shop in Rothwell Northamptonshire. Beautiful, comfortable, quality bras....and I speak as someone with 40FF boobs... for around £15.

Knickers too. And swimwear.

At the risk of sounding like a mad old bag... R&P bras changed my life ... they are a cross between works of art and stupendous engineering.

If you've never worn one, plan yourself an away day to Rothwell... you will be amazed by the difference. Or as we say in Northants... gobsmacked !

Got measured on Saturday at M&S. £18 included bra! Have ordered a couple more. Cup size had changed.

I believe my DIL pays around £100. I don’t know the details.

I think, if I’d known about it, I might have done that once if I were younger, but now I don't really care enough to fork out that sort of money for a bra.

I use Bodas - more expensive than Sch you know who, BUT not in terms of price per wear as they last 'for ever' - and we all know how long the others last.

*is not us.

Bravissimo.

Prima Donna (Rigby & Peller) bras (of which I have several at about £75-80 each can be purchased from a few independent lingerie shops, which us where I bought mine. They are trained to know your size just by looking, no tape measures are used and I can tell you this as a fact...they are a perfect fit.
If you are blessed in the boob department but want quality and comfort married with pretty fabric and sexy shapes, Bravissimo are the company to go to and their prices are less eye-watering.
I should imagine that HM has enough bras to see her out.

I would say the cheapest would be approx £80. I have been a few times as a treat. It's amazing

Maggie £25 is a start! I can't imagine paying £80, it's bad enough to be paying around £40!

I'm going to have to have a lie down.

'Ow much????!!!!

Chokes on cup of tea...... £305 ?? What are they made from?

I would expect a full outfit including shoes and a bag for that price.

I got my £80 from a review site, gillybob. That's the bare minimum, apparently.

gillybob a made to measure bra starts from £305, but it sells off the peg at much less. Still expensive though. Have a look

Well, I got £25 on the premium bonds this month, Wilma, so there's a start. I suppose spending £80 on one bra that fits is more sensible than buying 20 Tesco and Asda ones in the sales that don't. Though of course I don't know anyone who'd do that.

Her Maj probably has masses of bras and just doesn’t need any more.

Seriously does anyone know how much a 36C would cost (roughly) ? Nothing fancy just plain white or black with a bit of oooomph (underwiring).

The book does not talk about the clients. It's about June Kenton. The problem is that it mentions the Queen and the company's Royal warrant. That's frowned upon and a big no no to use them to sell something.

For as long as I can remember the London shop has been regarded as the place to go to be expertly fitted for underwear. It's appointment service is supposed to be second to none.

MY sister and I went to R & P some years ago to be fitted. It ws a very good experience and very stange as they fit you' by eye' no tape measures- amazingly accurate. The underwear is expensive but a wonderful fit and lasts and lasts. I wonder if HRH will go to Figleaves on line.

A lovely idea but rather outside my price range.

She should never have written that book.

How much for a 36C ?

I pay about £20 in Marksies.

Never heard of the company

Maggie if I win the lottery I will be booking an appointment too.

I have never had the good fortune to have underwear fitted there I do have a couple of friends who have been fitted and the word is that the lady fitters can tell you the size you need just by looking at you and that the product is so comfortable and well fitting you would never go anywhere else.(I wish)

Getting underwear from R & P is on my list of 60 things to do before I'm 60 (I've managed 30 odd so far and I'm 63 ). I didn't know they had branches outside London. Perhaps I'll actually get on and do it now.

Mostly London, BlueBelle, as a quick google search has revealed. Also Guildford, Bluewater, Harrogate and Cambridge.
