i know exactly what your saying…i thought i was a 38c…but after much internet surfing i figured that i am actually a 36 e cup!!! well i thought no way…but i went out and bought a 36e and blow me away..it fitted me like a glove…..absolutely perfect fit.. i had to get used to a tighter fit around the ribcage but im so used to that now and you know what?? my boobs dont hurt anymore coz they are perfectly encapsulated in a cup that isnt digging in the sides…perfick!!!

and yes..i do feel that my boobs are huge when i look at them in my new fit bras!!!

Another person singing the praises of Bravissimo! At one point I thought I was a 36c, now I wear a 32e and my boobs look so much better and perkier!

They don’t use tape measures, they actually look at how the bra fits on you, making sure its snug around the back and fits properly on the cups. The girls know the stock well and always bring out styles to suit my bust. And they even tell you when something doesn’t look right and don’t push you into a sale.

I love Bravissimo - their bras are expensive but really good quality (and guaranteed for six months if you take good care of them!), and they’re not married to their tape measures like some places.  They also know that different brands have different shapes, and once they know which brand fits you properly, they can suggest other lines that might work (this is good for me - I’m slightly strangely shaped). 

As far as M&S goes, I’ve got to say I’ve never worn such uncomfortable bras in my life.  The wires are inflexible, the fabric far too stretchy, and rather badly made on top of it.  You don’t notice it in the changing room, but after about 6 hours, they become distractingly uncomfortable.

Yes - way too stretchy! Fine if a/b cup where minimal support needed - otherwise, horrible!! 

Absolutely!  The annoying bit is I like quite a few of their styles… I just avoid that department when I go into M&S these days so I’m not tempted and end up buying a bra I want to chuck out the window…
