Where is the best place to buy bras that are good quality but not expensive.

Ya got Debenhams as well. They're not cheap, but you do get what you pay for there.
New Look do some nice bras as well.
Though would stay away from Primark, yes it's cheap but from my experience, there's a reason why they are cheap. Material never lasts.
You've got to be joking.
Depends how big you are, if you've got bigger boobs then Bravissimo is the place to go.
here it's stupidly hard to find anything bigger than a B. the "normal" size here.
Cheap as chips but really good quality, and you might be surprised at how nice their ranges are at the moment.
whatever you do dont buy bras from places like peacocks as they dont even last past the first machine wash in my experience. I know most bras say handwash only, but I still dont expect them to literally be ruined by one wash in the machine.
They are a false economy.
Another place for bargain underwear is TKmaxx.
We don't have Asda in N.Ireland
Wish we did though, as they did have some really ncie stuff over in Newcastle.
That's a place I never thought of going to. I'll be keeping that in mind.
Bra's i have bought from primark came to bit's quite easily, like the wire popping out and stabbing me and the material is usually lower quality.
What do you mean by expensive because in Debenhams you can usually pick up bra's out of the presence rang for about £10 and they do matching underwear with it.
But if you want really cheap and basic in Asda you can get bra's in packets, like t-shirt and even air filled ones that are £3, they are just plain, hence the price.
I got a nice pink one from there and its lasted me ages!
New Look have got a special offer on at the mo - 2 for 14 pounds. Next bra's are good and dont really cost that much.
Just depends on what type you're looking for and how much you're willing to spend
Reason most bras don't wash well is because they're not made to be machine washed... they're supposed to be handwash only. Not that anyone takes any notice of that...!
Never heard of it. Is it a shop or just website to shop online?!
online :yes:
There are shops around too... if you go to www.bravissimo.com it should list the stores. A couple in London, one in Manchester, Leeds, Oxford... etc etc.
Wow! I just found the most gorgeous pink Ballet B'Ware set on that website in pink - in my size - it's now firmly been ordered!
Has anyone ordered from there before?!
it's not that expensive. the last few bras i've had from there have been £12 full price. which is nothing. and considering their range of sizes, it's a godsend. cheaper than M&S, and fit much better.
and i second tesco. i would second asda if they made bras in my size
if you have a next outlet store around, they do great ones, and in the outlet shops they're at least 50% off. only they have slightly funky sizing, and the alleged 32s wrap around your average 32 sized person approximately 8 times. ok, that's not strictly true, but they are generous.
and in contrast to everyone else, me and my mother are thoroughly unimpressed by bravissimo. i imagine it's great if you're a bigger shape, but if your boobs are not really that big, just bigger than the bra companies think they should be for your back size, they're quite unflattering.
Well... this arrived today (how fast?!!) and it looks absolutely gorgeous! I have no complaints.
:yes:
And t those who say it's expensive I don't think it's that bad. Got a few for about £15 last time I went in there.
I don't like buying online though cos they all fit so differently.
The ones in new look are an odd shape on me, and my mate.
