Yesterday, I went bra shopping...
Before Weight Watchers, bra shopping usually ended in tears with me throwing back the bras to the assistant and storming out of the shop in a rage. I was at least a 44D but probably more (I could never find ones that went bigger, except online, so squeezed into what ever I could find). I like having big boobs and love wearing sexy bras but some idiot in the design department seems to think that women with big boobs must be old and enjoy wearing bandages around their chest.
However, now I've lost 3 stone (and since Thursday last week, I am back to that figure!), I need some new bras. I don't believe in measuring as every bra is different, so armed with some 38Ds & DDs, I started my quest in Marks & Spencers. The back was fitting well but my boobs just weren't squeezing into the cups. The choice for E and F cups in M&S is shocking and even the few designs that go up to that size weren't in stock, so I trotted off to Debenhams.
It was heaven! There were at least 6 designs in their own range that I liked and were in my size and there were lots of other lovely ones too. I came away with two Red Herring T-shirt bras (38E) and 1 Wonderbra black & gold lace one (38F), both with matching knickers. I can't believe I have a Wonderbra again. I loved them when I was younger (and thinner!) and I was really impressed that they are now doing bras up to a G cup.
So, happy me is saying thank you Debenhams, for giving me my first really positive bra shopping experience!
