bras

[paperBprincess]

whats your size and do you measure yourself/get measured/just buy what fits?
also what do you think of internet sizing sites?
i went on one which said i was a 28gg when i take a 34b :eek2: and no, i didnt type it in wrong

[Ilora-Danon]

I just buy what I think I am. I've never been measured.
I'm a 36B atm, but want to get down to a 34B.

I wouldn't mind being a C cup either :rolleyes:

34E.

I wouldn't trust internet sizing sites.

All the people I know that have been measured properly have found they were actually a different size.

And the majority of people I know that have been measured properly went up at least one cup size. :yes:

[rachie004]

i went to sadie the bra lady and I'm a 32 c rather than the 34 b ie been wearing forever.. bras screw anyways.... and screw marks and spencer for saying my boobs were so small that they didnt fit onto a scale

[Ilora-Danon]

Surely 34B and 32C are the same size?

[rachie004]

no.. cos 34 is like 2 inches more around the back.. the 32 c fits fantastic.. gives great cleveage.. the 34 b is kinda just well.. rives up and just isnt confy

[SuzyCreamcheese]

marks and spencer are crap at measuring. they always give measurements that are too big round the back and too small in the cup. Im not the only person whos said this.
I always have to try bras on in the shop, as different shops have different sizes. Its really annoying.

[Olive]

32D.

i got measured properly, la senza, if i remember correctly.

unfortunately not many people like to make bras in my size :mad:

[fugue]

i'm a 14DD (aussie sizing)

And i just buy what fits, i'd never buy a bra of the internet.
dodgy

[Dear Wendy]

I got meassured once and she told me that I was a d-cup!
God is playing a cruel joke on me, cause I am obviously not, and sometimes even b-cups seem a bit too big :(

[~kaz~]

Im a 38B but i think i should go get mesured again coz not done in ages.

[Lacy]

I fit a 34C.

But they measured me as 34D.

Me thinks not.

[~kaz~]

all the big sizes in bra look like granny bras

[Acrobat]

Yes. Try finding a 38D bra that'll fit and still make you look sexy, on a studenty kinda budget.

[Lil Laura]

Bravissimo (http://www.bravissimo.com) Bravissimo (http://www.bravissimo.com) Bravissimo (http://www.bravissimo.com).

:D

Though studenty budgets are a problem :(

im a 34dd, and it pisses me off that that bigger busted girlies have to fork out up to £35 for a bra, when smaller chested girl can go to primark and get three bras for a fiver!!! :mad:

3 for a fiver? you exaggerate no?
if not anyone know nearest primark to greenwich?;) :D

[go_away]

The one on the left is a 30ff, and the one on the right is a 30f. As I was going through puberty, M&S told me I was a 36A - the next day I wasn't convinced and went to another shop, and was correctly measured at 30D. I've ordered bras from the R+P site, because it saved me the time of going to London (although I live there now) to get them. To me, they're worth it, but it's annoying that I have to fork out about £50 a time. Ah well, can't wait for the reduction :D

well- maybe a fiver each.
Ive seen bras up to a DD or E cup in peacocks , and I know marks and spencer do large sizes.

[lucifer devil]

34D :)

I think :confused:

Well it is only fair that you pay more since our bras are made from half the amount of material :p

Hehe aye, but you get them cheaper, it's easier for you to get nice designs, and it's a hell of a lot more likely you'll be able to pick up a bra in your size on your average shopping trip than a larger chested lady.

And it's not our fault *stomps*

:p

Actually that confuses me! Cos whenever I go in to M&S or wherever all I see is huuuuge sizes that i could practically live in, I can never find smaller sized bras. Then the other day my mate, who is lets say "larger chested" was moaning that when she goes in they only have small sizes. It's a conspiracy! :eek2:

How very odd indeed..

But I bet the bigger bras are all horrible and frumpy, aren't they :p

Well yes, they are actually. Most of them look like feckin hammocks rather than bras :p

last year was the worst, try finding a 30 a
he i put on rather a large amount of weight since then

Hehe, exactly. And if I'm ever lucky enough to see a bra in my size in the high street, it usually looks so ridiculously huge that it's just...well, ridiculous really. And somewhat depressing to think that I'm that huge. When really, I'm not.

Perhaps that's why blokes get the wrong idea about bra sizes :chin: For example, some mates of mine will go on about 'this well fit bird' with 'fucking HUGE tits', who must be 'a DD!!'. Which really, IMO, isn't that big.

[*TiNK*]

im 34d and nooo way wud i trust internet sites! they'll tell u bloody nething!

[crescendo]

Keep talking about bra's girls .......... :D

jamie can i call this one a perv?

[SuzyCreamcheese]

I was in BHS today and they had loads of big sizes up to FF in some ranges but the majority went up to an E cup, and they were all really pretty.
Just thought that might help some of you.

[TempleOfDreams]

I'm a 32F. And a trained bra-fitter :p so I can fit myself, woo!

Bravissimo is a godsend, Debenhams do some nice bras for cups up to F...

Marks & Spencers are fucking ridiculous! For example, they measured my mate at a B cup - when in fact she's like a DD. What makes me laugh is, she tried a B cup bra on in Marks, and it was too big for her :confused:

I hate M&S. Fact. :p

[Jowolvo]

i like tshirt ones cus im only 34A and find the pretty ones make me look really small chested. Primark do good cheap bra's def! Peacocks are good but some of them are quite crap in there-just need to look cus if u find one it can b a bargain!

Yes. It's in Lewisham, you can get the 199 and it will drop you right outside, or get the 180 to the station then walk down the high street

:p

*grew up in lewisham... well, ish*

Oh yeah - i'm a 34D/DD. Last time i went to M&S to get measured because i was bulging out of the top of my 34D bra, i was told that i was a 34C. :rolleyes: I don't think so. Debenhams and La Senza both went on to tell me i was a 34DD/E depending on the fit of the cup.

Have lost weight since then though.

[Fairywings]

Im only a 32A( and thats on a good day, sometimes im even smaller) *sobs* so I have the opposite problem of finding bras, its impossible to get ones that are that small!!! the only ones they do are kids ones, i can never find any pretty ones and the padded ones jusst look false so i just get regular bras and look like a 12 year old, when im really 18!!! ( and no there is no way im getting a boob job!!)

maybe i'm mising something, but if you're that small, do you even need to wear a bra?

Try H and M if there's one near you. My best friend has exactly the same problem, and she has no problems finding them there. :)

I never used to wear one when i was an A cup. Whats the point if theyre self supporting anyway.

[Fairywings]

I wear a bra because it does get annoying if you dont.
Thanks, I have been to new look but i dont like them, I will try H & M if there is a store online ( i will take a look)
I guess a positive is that I can play lots of sport easily unlike a lot of my friends who are DD-FF and have problems running!

[Amira]

i've been told im a 32c(most likely), 34b and rarely a 32b....i want bigger tits!!!! i hate them. they look so small and they are yick, but lads say they are huge :s. tbh i want mine to be a 32d or 32dd

[lipsy]

i would imagine that girls with a-cups would want to wear bras coz they might keep them warm/hide nipples or somethin?

[paperBprincess]

aye i used to feel really weird if i didnt wear a bra, i guess you just get used to wearing one. the nipple thing aswell.

[lipsy]

hmm yeah. my mum bought me a knicker and bra set to celebrate me starting my periods.. (celebrate probably isnt the right word..). i certainly did NOT need a bra then but it was like a grown up thing to have.

i range from 34B to 32C which are quite similar in size but fit better depending on the style of the bra. but i don't wear it as a necessity, just something im used to and theyre pretty/sexy aswell!

[Kazbo]

I'm a 34DD/E but according to M&S I should be at least a 36DD.

But yeah it is damn annoying. Bras are so expensive and there's nothing really sexy around in larger sizes that actually give decent support as well.

[dominatrix]

I'm a 32D and like... it has the bad bits of being big, like having to hold on to my chest when I run, worrying about sag etc... but also the bad bits of being small, like they look small most of the time and don't give the best cleavage. I've been known to wear as small as an A cup to give myself a cleavage :( cos I just don't seem to have one with D cups and some C cups...
