Rigby and Peller

I'm wearing Bravissimo bras that are well over 7yo. I expect them to last as long again and hopefully longer.

My cheapos last well enough. The last time I had to dispose of one was when the washing machine decided to swallow one of the underwires. In fact, I think I've still got the slightly bent wire and lopsided bra somewhere, waiting for the day I get round to repairing it.

Rigby and Peller are absolutely the best. You go there, are treated like a duchess and come out with the best fitting bras ever.

I first went there when I had bought an outfit for my first DS's wedding. Went along with the dress and shoes and was fitted with the bra that looked and fitted right. I don't buy their bespoke ones ~ and usually pay between £30 and £50'ish (I don't go for glamour; my tastes are quite simple. Comfort and the right amount of hoiking up are my priorities).

Its a nice day out with a friend. Train journey, lunch and mooch around Cambridge. What's not to like?

One of my daughters bought her wedding dress secondhand (so sensible, it’s only worn for one day)
Then she went to Rigby and Pellor for her bra to make her look her best. It cost more than the dress!

yogagran Surely how long a bra lasts depends on how many bras you own, fewer bras will get washed more often, so won't last as long as one that is only washed and worn every so often.

There is a factory shop for R&P in Northamptonshire which I have used but they also do Fantasie which are a better fit for me. Amazing fit and last for ages.

Sorry - just seen that you have already been told about Desborough! The bra sized swimming costumes are fantastic value unless you buy one every time you go! I must have a dozen

As a result of breast cancer I have odd sized and shaped boobs. The left is a B/C and the right is a DD. People saythe don't notice the inbalance but I am aware of it all the time. My dream is to go to R&P to be fitted. I have been losing weight but the smaller one seems to be shrinking at a faster rate than the larger one. When I am happy with my weight it will be Rigby and Peller here I come.

I took a very dear friend as my treat, to R&P, when she felt ready after her breast cancer. She was delighted with the results, although their range from the non-bespoke stuff was quite limited at the time, in my view. But I guess it is as much as being graciously pampered as well as the bra/s you end up with.
