ive just been looking through my underwear drawers and i am "horrified" to find that all my bras are.. really manky :yuck:

the only decent one i have is a nice balconette one from m+s

sooo ive figured i might as well go out and have a little spending spree on some nice new bras ;)


i reeally like the look of balconette bras so can anyone recommend any good shops/websites that have nice ones? (no plain black and white ones!!)

ive looked at la senza and that has nice ones but i cant think of any other specialist sites other than ann summers and figleaves! any more?

oh yeah, and what do you all think of this one? -

    it'd be nicer if the bow was taken off/made about 2 yards smaller. ;)

    For nice but affordable udnerwear, try supermarkets (Seriously!) george at asda, and florence and fred at tesco do really nice underwear that is quite cheap.

    Also try places like Primark (very cheap, good quality, although knicker sizes aren't very big in my opinion, and only go up to a 16-18, which fits more like a 16), also try in h&m as they sell some really pretty ones.

    If you want to buy online try www.brastop.com or .co.uk, designer stuff that is reduced :) good luck

    and no i dont have big boobs :impissed: 32D
    when i say specialist i mean like websites that only do bras and lingerie. when it comes to highstreet stores (ie topshop) they dont tend to have much range. especially when it comes to balconettes!

    I really just recommend M&S for bras. They last longer and wash the best out of any bras ive had from other places. Only place where most of them say machine washable on the label too. They have really good ranges too.

    no, i know you werent saying it negatively :) it was just me wishing i had bigger boobs thats all ;) or wishing that they were a normal size anyway!! its actually quite hard to find 32D bras out ther.. however if i was 34 or something it would be so much easier!! whenever i see ones i like they never have my size :no:

    Second the recommendation for M&S, most of my bras and undercrackers are from there. Debenhams has some nice stuff too, and a very wide range.

    Pity you're not in the North-East, you're missing out on Sadie the Bra Lady. ;)

    couldn't you instead try buying a 34C, i understand they'd be around the same size?

    i found m&s to have relatively small sizing therefore the only ones in my size were hideous.

    i'm the same size and have size finding joy in la senza, M&S, sainsburys and tesco. and i wear 34Cs when i can't find my size, and just take the back in a wee bit.

    Wouldn't most women kill to be a 32D - i.e. you have a small frame but big boobs - rather than being like me which is a 36b big frame and small bobs - though weirdly I too buy 34C's if i cant' find my size - how funny is that...
