Glad I could help, ladies! One word of advice...       05/02/06 08:50 PM Edit Reply Quote Stephie Reged: 03/10/04 Posts: 2696 Loc: Vancouver, Canada So glad you guys like the site! Not only do I think it is GREAT to find a bra (or button up shirt, oh my gosh!) that fits, but I also really like the idea of supporting (hee hee) a store that really takes into consideration what we big-boobed women are after! The one thing I would say before getting out the credit card and ordering one of everything, is to be really thorough with your "sizing". When I first went into the store in Covent Garden, I said to the helper (who are amazing there, btw!), "I am a 38D" (at the time I was about 127lbs, 5'4 with big boobs) and the girl just laughed and said, "No, you aren't." She measured me around and I was actually a 32/34. With the size around being a lot more tight, I was much more "secure" in my bras. With my La Senza bras, they were so loose that my boobs were residing around my tummy area. With the bravissimo bras, it picked them right up! I couldn't believe how long my torso was! It was like there was a whole section of my body that I had never seen before! When this happens, though, your cup size goes right up. So I went from being a 38D, to a 32F. I was pretty shocked but when I was wearing the right bra, my breasts looked smaller, more perky and I got less aches and pains in my back. Plus, they will be less likely to sag later in life, woo! So if you think you are a 36 or 38, measure yourself so the tape is right secure against your skin, right under your "ladies" and go by that. Then I'll bet your cup size is bigger too, but the bras will fit like a dream if you get the right one and you may just be shocked like I was! For swimsuits, I also have a black one of the strappy ones.. I'll see if I can find a picture of me in it.. the size with those ones, like this one the size isn't QUITE as important because they are ties around your neck and your back so you can tie it as tight as you want, just make sure the little triangles are big enough to hold your girls! Anyway, happy shopping! Let me know if you guys pick anything out, I am gonna order a new bra soon 'cause since I haven't been in the UK for a while, my good white bra is getting a bit grey!
