Why just M&S? Why not more along the lines of Bravissimo or Figleaves?

Figleaves has gorgeous designs for all sizes and Bravissimo for D+ cups.

If you do decide to set up a bra outlet, please remember to cater for the D+ sizes, In particular the 34 and 36 sizes...its a nightmare sometimes for people.

Good Luck with it if you decide to go ahead.

I didnt think M a S were keeping abreast with times just boring stuff,
in Perth we have bras and things i shop there for my wife really nice under wear, i was trying to find a set for the wife when we first arrived and i didnt under stand the sizes, the young assistant was very good and asked if my
wife's breasts were as big as hers, i looked and we looked at the other assistants breasts too but without result, now you dont get that service in M a S, open your own shop in Aus selling everything to do with laddies under
garments and night wear its a job to find good quality stuff i know i have looked (in the none purvey sense)

lol - had a similar situation over here. Was buying my wife a top and the sales assistant said "Is she a similar size to me?" and, staring right at her chest I said "You mean her boobs?" and she glares and says "No, I meant like generally." Not that I normally need an excuse to objectify women of course...

I just heard off a friend in Perth, that they have an outlet type place at Hillarys (don't know where) that sells M&S 'seconds'

haha, no the problem i have is being a 36 and then a much larger cupsize, it limits the choice drastically. I know what you mean though about the 36+ though.

They are the bane of my bloody life. Not only do you have to pay extra for nice pretty bras everyone (blokes mainly) can't make eye contact. The only good thing is I've got a small (ish) waist in comparison.

BTW didn't mean to infer you had big boobies. Sorry if it came out like that

Mine too!! Unfortunately having big boobs with a small back costs me a fortune. Why cant they do normal pricing for all bra sizes!!!

We'll be heading to Sydney, but I would be more than keen on any type of bravissinmo/figleaves type shop esp if you did mail order - as a larger chested lady I can only shop at certain stores, and my searches on the internet have had me quite concerned over how I'll get bras that fit me in Oz. Was planning to buy up a suitcase-ful before I left the UK to keep me going for a couple of years!
