Its like christmas in my house this morning!! So excited - posty woman knocks on the door at 7.30am with 3 parcels from the UK containing............ Marks & Sparks undies! Following Mrs Jackaroos advice, I braved ebay again and picked up some fab deals! I got 4 bra and knicker sets, very pretty in my size for £22! I also got some beautiful french knickers in different colours and 11 pairs of Next undies (all brand new of course) for £11! Much cheaper than here and they fit.....perfectly!

Thank you so much Mrs J!

PS; oh and one seller chucked in a Boots No 7 make up bag (new and sealed)containing sample make up and some No 7 products! So lovely - I won't have to worry about lippy now for a while!

What did the postage work out at?

That was with postage! The seller said she'd post for free cos I'd brought a few items! Just looking at all of them now! They're gorgeous! I love M&S for undies!

Ooooh, that sounds great! I was just in David Jones, looking at underwear and even in their sale it's much more than it would cost in the UK. But I've never thought about buying underwear via ebay... will have a look myself later

Myers has a sale (a sale at Meyer - shock, horror!) on underwear at the moment. Elle Macpherson's Intimates collection is good; nice stuff and not too pricey, either.

Yes, but you're a normal size. Unlike me. It's impossible to buy stuff here, because they don't make non-standard sizes. So I have to buy either from the UK (which has some really good makes like Freya catering for women like me) or have to buy ugly stuff because nothing else fits (and have to be grateful for it).

Is other stuff on sale at Myer? I'm enjoying spending money at the moment. Must be because of my new, better paid job in Brisbane

I'm not even going to get into that discussion!

Myer always seem to have a sale on. Witchery has, too. Some nice stuff in there.

Apologies to the OP for the hijack. Catch you later, D. I have some transcriptions to do.

Ahhh thats ok! You're so right about the sizes! Just can't get my size anywhere!

I'm only a 36B and cannot fit into Elle McPherson bras, they are way too small.
I found jockeywoman stuff in Myer and David Jones pretty good though.
figleaves.com is a good website for underwear and its free postage.

I'm small too, 32D, but here they only do Size 10 AAA,A,B or C! Obviously Aussie petite women don't have big boobs!

Is this stuff you bought off eBay in the UK and got shipped here?

certainly is! Only ordered it Friday and arrived today! Hubby's well chuffed too. Its been getting me down, I couldn't find any pretty underware, the ones I did buy (10C) I kept falling out of! Plus they've only gone through the wash a few times and the underwires been ripped out!

That happened to me too with a couple of bras I bought in Oz.

But I have to add, that I always thought I was a 36b in M&S right, so last time I was in the UK I was in a rush, and bought 2 t-shirt bras without trying them on first, when I got home to try them on they were too small!! I could not believe it. Then I noticed they had been made in Thailand. From my experience of shopping in M&S in Hong Kong, the bras there are more designed to fit an Asian figure so are smaller, even though they are a 36B, but I can't think why they are selling bras in the UK that are designed for a smaller build. Bizarre. All the other bras from M&S that are not made in Thailand fit perfectly.

Thats interesting. A mate I used to work with told me I'd find it easy to find undies cos I'm petite and Australian sizes tend to follow their neighbours (Asian)! How wrong! Apparently a 10 here is a UK size 8 (in bra sizes) so me being a 32D means I need a 10D here. If you follow asian sizing they tend to only go up to a C cup in a 10. If you want a D cup you have to go to a 12 or 14 - obviously then the bra is too big around the chest!

Have been to a lingerie shop and they didn't have anything for me, pretty bras but not in size and cost a forune $120 for a bra !!!!! My sister is also a 32D, she's coming over next year with a case full of M&S, George and Next! Can't wait!

ooh you are lucky! : )
