I checked out Debenhams, Marks and Spencer, Penneys (Primark) and New Look (they're all on Henry Street! Can you guess how much I love that street? In the first post I will cover Debenhams and M&S, then onto Penneys and New Look
Debenhams
The first bra is the Panache Zara, which makes me wonder how long its been rotting away in my local Debenhams, a 30G. This bra just did not fit. Plunges don't seem to work on me, and the three part cup construction gave me a lumpy shape. Bzzzzzt. Next!
Next up is this pretty pink number, but it was a 28FF. Whoops. I only noticed when I took the picture. It's no longer on the Debenham's website, so no picture.
Thirdly was this beige vertical seamed balconette, in 32G. This is part of my theory that they fit me better than plunges. It was too shallow for me, basically. Urgh.
Fourthly, I really liked this bra. It was a 28G or 30G. It was too small. I would have loved to try a larger size because it gave great lift and was very secure (I felt I could go for a run in it). It looked a lot like the after in the author of Seins ou Sphinx's handiwork here.
Yes, there's more. I, against my better judgement tried these molded bras in 30G and 32G... just no. I don't think I should have bothered.
Marks and Spencers
Wow, that's a lot of bras... to add pain to this there was an a man at the changing room desk... urk. Anyways, first up.
First up, the red and flowery bra. I really like this bra. I think it could have fit alright, but it was too small at only a 34F (I think).
Rosie for Autograph Silk Padded Plunge DD-G Bra with French Designed Rose Lace bra, sizes between 30D - 38G, depends on your local M&S
This bra is from the Rosie Huntington-Whitely collection, in 32G. It's a weird bra... vertical seams but plunge. It doesn't work. Really pointy. And I like pointy. But it was a bullet bra. Seriously. If you think Freya is pointy, then you need to see this bra. No. Avoid.
All the other molded bras could not fit me, too wide wires, too shallow, even in varying sizes. Such a shame as they were pretty good value.
The next numbers, the white and purple bras, were lovely. I really liked them. But they did not fit my larger boob. I would recommend them for narrower wires, decent projection and a tight band!
I hope this filled some of you guys bra fixes!
:)
