Where did THEY come from!?

Just wondering how often fellow GNs get measured for a bra? Having lost nearly 2 stone & realising my admittedly aging bras didn't really do the job any more, I went into M&S for a proper fitting. It took ages but the final, extremely comfortable result was worth it. However, it was quite a shock to find out I'd gone from a 38C to a 36DD ...DH is thrilled..!!

I saved up my pennies and treated myself to a trip to Rigby and Peller in London.
It was so, so worth it too despite the cost of the bras.
The fitting alone has to be experienced as not a tape measure in sight.
They do it all by eye, and my goodness, they are spot on !!
Brilliant service.

I used to wear Sloggi bras, but can't find them now; so I get Brevia pull-on bras instead. Very comfortable, and they don't squash me.

I don't really have proper bosoms sad but at least the small amount I do have don't droop grin

Before you all think I'm being smug, I do have a bottom that seems hell bent on introducing itself to the back of my knees confused blush

Oh phoenix if only we could scoop up our saggy bottoms and push the fat round the front and higher up.........what bosoms we would have then grin

I came out from a John Lewis fitting wearing a 32 E, having gone in wearing a 36 B.
