I have not found anywhere that sells decent bras either in the 5 years I have been here. They are cheaply made (unless you want to go to the expensive specialty stores for $200+ per bra), don't fit well, and don't last at all. Perhaps in a smaller size you might be able to get something decent for a reasonable price, but if you wear larger than a C cup the selection as well as the quality stinks. I buy mine in the US where the selection and quality are much better if you wear a DD like me.

I don't know. Who would've thought a thread about bras would run for 4 pages! :scared:

It wasn't M&S's bras in particular for me either, but I have tried to do as the Roman's do, well I had to there was no choice, but it is just difficult when after years of living here we still can't find the correct fit. Until recently(the last 4-5years) it was the same with jeans, we Europeans just seem to be a different shape to the locals. It was a blessing when low rise came into fashion!!!!
No offence meant by the way

i wonder how many of those who think making a mountain out of a molehill- are men, and those who understand are women?

answers on a postcard please...................

Well I am an M&S girl through and through for undies but last time I was in Calgary there was a great sale at Sears and I bought the most marvellous bras there for about $20 each .... I could live and die in them ..... and I'm no fried egg

My extensive analysis of knickers in Canada, likely matched only by people who work in some sort of changing room, leads me to conclude that Victoria's Secret have, pretty much, cornered the market. I once collated a thong from the laundry room floor not marked "Vicky's" but that turned out to belong to visitor from France.

As underwear supplier for various wives and daughters, when I travel to low tax/no tax states I often have items delivered to the hotel from the VS catalogue. Since I usually travel with Bob, the bespectacled Unix guy, this usually sets the clerk a sniggering.

collated?? you file underwear??

Underwear, socks, spandex, I'm a domestic wizard, mate.

But do they have a good line in the essential "harvest festivals"?

Sadly VS does not cater to the more well endowed. I have looked in the stores and they have pretty stuff, but 42DD doesn't seem to exist in Victoria's world.

They do in Newfoundland, I recall some very caustic remarks about flannelette tents.

Pmsl :d :d :d

Hi, have enjoyed reading this thread. Absolute fab!!! For those wearing the wrong bras, theres a catalogue called La Redoute www.redoute.com its a french catalogue available here in the UK and there you can order beautiful bras, underwear and clothes all in Uk sizes and have it delivered worldwide at a reasonble cost. Its bound to be cheaper than a tucket back to England. I havent moved to Montreal yet, but thats where I intend to order my underwear. Hope this helps, its not M&S, buts its sizes you can relate to.

Sorry, my mistake the website is www.laredoute.com

If this question is not actually about underwear the shop you likely want is either Come As You Are or Come When You Can. The first has a slight bias toward the gay market, the latter focuses on customers of advancing years.
