I think when it comes to bras you really need to try them on in person to see how they fit. I had a friend who worked for Fantasie as a bra fitter. She measured me and some other ladies up when we were round her house for dinner as we were all complaining that we could never buy comfortable bras. She sent me a bra afterwards and guess what, it didn't fit, it was really uncomfortable. That's why I would never bother buying bras online and I have to go into a store and try them on. Once I find a comfortable one I buy it and wear it for at least a day to see how it feels and if it is comfortable I go back and buy 4 or 5 of them even if they are all the same colour as comfort is the main thing otherwise you end up not wearing them. My most comfortable bra is one from M&S but they are no longer making it, so when my 4 or 5 wear out I will be on the hunt again for a replacement. I measure a 36DD but I always buy a 38DD because I find the 36 too tight under my bust. Regarding the pervs, just block them if they try and leave any pervy comments. Saddo's.

Hi Helen again you made me smile! When I was young and slim I always bought my 34b bras in M&S, but these days Fantasie bras are the perfect fit for me, a larger curvier lady! I made many expensive mistakes with sizing along the way but decided that my ‘underpinnings’ (my Grans name for underwear lol) are worth a higher price tag to get the right fit! I often buy mine from JD Williams when they have a discount code available!

Bras are so difficult aren't they ? I have worn M&S bras for most of my life but different brands vary so much. Damart in Cyprus have an excellent measuring service and I was in there a few years ago. After the sales lady measured me, she brought me 3 bras to try. 3 different manufacturers and each was a different size but they all fitted perfectly - she obviously knew the makes very well. I did buy 2 of them and they lasted ages. Maybe the self imposed rest you had in Greece did your hip a world of good. x

I find bra shopping and fitting as one of the few shopping trips I dislike immensely. 😃One boob bigger than the other, (34D usually) spaced farther apart than most bras are designed for, 5'1" tall so shorter in the chest to waist ratio... round apple tummy... like most panties roll down... most bras roll upwards.. rarely find one that fits well.. and then when I do..... they discontinue it .... tsk ... 😅. I'm wondering if the ones you tried on were specifically made for "cleavage" creation??.. sometimes the design just cant push up and seperate at the same time.. I think that was the old sales line for Playtex bras.. "pushup, hold & seperate". Oh my, I wrote a book today.. sorry lol

My problem since i have gotten older and with weight gain they all ride up in the front under my breasts. This is so uncomfortable, that I cover all my shirts with a cover up so people can't see it as it rides up. I am constantly pulling it down. Even in public. It is so embarrassing to say the least :( I would appreciate if you or the other ladies could help me. xoxo

Have you been professionally fitted? Sounds to me like the band is too big. Bravissimo is very good if you can get to one of those. When I've been fitted in the past the band has always seemed far too tight to begin with but it is important that the band is snug and the cups are big enough. Good luck with your quest, I hope you can get sorted. xx
