    Oh the relief! I finally found a bra that fits.
    I have lost 2 1/2 stone since January and the chaps are looking rather deflated. It took me three hours to find a bra that fits yesterday, but now I feel fab. I feel slender rather than saggy! I guess that is what happens when you lift your boobs back above your waistline.
    I am a trained bra fitter, so I know what I am doing, but it still took ages for me to find something comfortable and uplifting. Ended up buying from Peacocks.

    Picking up on an old topic – I saw an M&S ad today that if you have a bra fitting (before 24 September), you get £5 discount from bra purchases.

    It’s something I’d been thinking about doing anyway – I took a spare bra with me today, but grabbed one that was way too big & ended up putting the sweaty sports bra back on.

    I’ve been searching for ages to find a bra that fits properly. Ordered different styles/sizes from a catalogue – and returned nearly all of them.

    I was in M&S on Monday and got measured. The assistant brought lots of different bras for me to try and I came home with two. Different sizes/styles, but they both fit. No wonder I get confused. The £5 voucher was used😃

    Update to my last post about bras.

    I’ve just been told by someone who worked a lot with Trinnie and Susannah (remember them) that the bras the M&S fitter recommended were not right for me!!! Mind you, I did wonder when I saw some of the bras that she brought me to try? Aaaaarrrrrggggghhhhh.

    Looks like I’ll have to try somewhere else and a different fitter!😱

    Hi Captainlynne – I have found Bravissimo to be good for bra fitting.
    I am so pleased you are staying on the forums now you are at goal weight. I have been following your threads and they have really helped me to stay on the BSD.

    Thanks KrysiaD.

    I did wonder about Bravissimo. The one that was recommended to me was Rigby & Peller. I know them by reputation but it would mean a trip to Harrogate or London, and their products are very expensive. Bravissimo is a lot closer 😃
