Default Hello Girls -Bra shop recommendations

Could anyone recommend a decent bra shop in Brisbane CBD? My usual bra shop is Bravissimo in the UK and am looking for an equivalent here (i.e. bigger sizes) - May have to do some remote ordering unless I can find something soon!
No rude comments please

Oddly, I found K-Mart has a good selection of larger sized bras. They're nice, too! Not the usual military style you get if you're bigger than a 12C. There was also a thread on here a while ago (8 months or so) talking about the same thing and someone posted a link to an online shop here in Aus. Try the search function and see what you come up with.

However, I still find it cheaper and a better selection from Bravissimo. Takes no time at all to arrive and the delivery cost is not that expensive.

I've always used Bravissimo - so there's no Aussie equivalents?

oooh do they dispatch to Oz? Just got the brush off from Next so assumed Bravissimo wouldn't! I'm placing an order unless I find something good in the CBD tomorrow,

I think there is one in the valley,big girls ,or something like that.
As the others said it still works out cheaper to send from Bravissimo.I found the equivalent here but it was about $30 dearer for the same one.
Good luck
Donna

Went to Meyer and got some dodgy beige boostenhalter. The only bra in the shop my size... stock up at Bravissimo, that's my recommendation.

Wife has discovered a shop on Glenferrie in Malvern. Has been operating for over 20 years and wife was well impressed with getting someone who knows how to size properly. (against crude comments from her husband )

Cool I was thinking about where to get my "scaffolding" from in future as Bravissimo is the only decent place I've ever found.

Would second this recommendation! Not in the CBD but great service and their sales are pretty good.

Found some excellent bras in Kmart too Dorothy... Very pretty and nice colours. Bit more adventurous than UK bras. They wash well and last. No problems.
