Ah, yeah that is true,
But I'm only little so I've never had that problem.

me too
I found a really nice bra in Tammy once, but had to draw the line at buying my underwear from a store aimed at pre-teens.

On bra stories in general
when I was sixteen I was 30E. On browsing La Senza I asked the assistant if she could recommend size etc, and she came back carrying two padded bras
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Wed 14 Apr 2010, 13:23, Reply)

It annoys me that they pad bras that are larger than an E or so
they're making the playing field uneven!!
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Wed 14 Apr 2010, 13:26, Reply)

Nah she was a rubbish assistant
so she came back with D size bras that had those chicken fillet things to insert. Perhaps she thought I'd said I wanted E breasts not that I had them
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Wed 14 Apr 2010, 13:27, Reply)

If you're already an D, why on earth would you need chicken fillets??
It was only recently that I realised that chicken fillets for bra were not actually pieces of meat.
(Applebite Uh! A cow!, Wed 14 Apr 2010, 13:29, Reply)

I have a pair of chicken fillets
they used to be self-sticky ones that have no back, but then they lost their sticky and now I don't dare wear them on their own in case they splat out onto the floor
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Wed 14 Apr 2010, 13:34, Reply)

That would possibly be the most embarrassing thing in the world.

(Applebite Uh! A cow!, Wed 14 Apr 2010, 13:39, Reply)

I agree
lots of bras have little pockets to put them in though

haha quick snack
but the average boob size is increasing so maybe people feel like they need to compete
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Wed 14 Apr 2010, 13:35, Reply)

not that my opinion will carry much weight on this subject
but the padding isn't just for making them look bigger, it helps with comfort and shape.

That info came from a woman in an expensive bra shop who my mrs was talking to.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Wed 14 Apr 2010, 13:32, Reply)

my mrs is well-endowed (in the chest department)
and while shopping with her it has amused to me to see that the designers make all these nice bras for the smaller busted lady, and then go "hmmm, 36DD and above? They clearly want leopard print! with pink edging!"
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Wed 14 Apr 2010, 13:13, Reply)

very true
and it's a bit weird that they have specialist shops like Bravissimo which do bras that are basically bags with straps, compared to all the pretty lacy things for up to a D
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Wed 14 Apr 2010, 13:15, Reply)

Erm......I think your mistaken there.
Bravissimo and some other places do some lovely bras up to FF and sometimes beyond.

I'm a FF and I nearly bought a beautiful black lace one but it was £70 and I couldn't justify the expense since it wouldn't be seen by anyone but me.
( girlinthehole, Wed 14 Apr 2010, 13:22, Reply)

Only one place in my city
sells big bras- the Bravissimo shop. And they are all really ugly bras, and generally only have large backed ones in stock (i.e. 36 and above)
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Wed 14 Apr 2010, 13:24, Reply)

Hardly ugly.

maybe it's just my store
but they seem to specialise in the beige and flower prints spectrum like this one www.bravissimo.com/products/lingerie/sensational-sets/panache/balconette-bras/pnk7-details.aspx?ck=iB%2f127dpyplMC9m30ZDKWWrdB6mEMhvU I did get a really nice turquoise one there once though
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Wed 14 Apr 2010, 13:30, Reply)

Also try Amplebosom on-line.
Lots of beige bras but a couple of really sexy and pretty ones too.

Doesn't she look a bit like the Mrs?
If memory serves me correctly.

The Mrs has blue eyes
Lovely big blue eyes. Mmmmmmm.

there wasn't anything smug about that at all
I have to put up with her complaining that they are too big.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Wed 14 Apr 2010, 13:33, Reply)

I imagine it's a small price to pay

Is Tammy still around?
I haven't seen one in years. I can't even remember what shop it was in.
(Applebite Uh! A cow!, Wed 14 Apr 2010, 13:19, Reply)

It was part Etam, part TammyGirl
but no, I think it's dead now.

There was a concession in Debenhams for a while for TammyGirl after Etam died, but I think the whole lot has gone now.
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Wed 14 Apr 2010, 13:22, Reply)

Oh, I remember now.
Just did a quick google, apparently Tammy can now be found in BHS, but Etam is dead.

I used to really like that place.

I had a so many of those jumper things that were supposed to look like short sleeve layered over a long sleeve.

I've only got one left now and that's because it's got Spiderman on it.

my friend's mum used to give her clothes to charity
if she hadn't seen her wear them in a while, which I'm fairly sure counts as abuse.
