Re: Pretty bras
What is the red bra with a white t shirt thing?
I'd forgotten this thread. I never did get my bra size rechecked, so I'm possibly still walking around in bras. I still can't believe 28H could ever, EVER be my size, mind you.

Re: Pretty bras
You can't see red bras under white t-shirts, apparently. I'm a bit suspicious, but the Internet says it's true so it must be.
Bob has me in a 32FF, smal, which I scoffed at, but I'm currently wearing one, and it's really comfortable. Also, I swear my boobs have gotten bigger since I changed sizes, probably as a result of them not being squished under my armpit anymore.

Re: Pretty bras
I'm very cynical of a red bra under a white t-shirt and would much more trust that bra you just posted. For a 'flesh' toned bra (which is the ONLY thing I'd wear under white) I think it's surprisingly pretty!
I am not surprised at your 28H, Smal, I would have guessed approx that from pictures of you. There is literally no way for me to say this without sounding like a complete creep so I'm just going to brazen through it )

Re: Pretty bras
Pale pink is good for not being too visible under white (if you’re white yourself, I guess).

Re: Pretty bras
Really! I cannot imagine it could be so. I really ought to go and be remeasured though

Re: Pretty bras
Really! You're so much smaller than me and I'm a 34. Go to bravissimo instead of being measured.
Yes, pale pink is a really good under-white option and arguably prettier.

Re: Pretty bras
But yes, Luce is right. You appear to be both less wide and more booby than me, so it makes sense.

Re: Pretty bras
Luce the Perv has a point, I mean, I’m a 34 and I really didn’t ought to be from looking at me.
Pale pink is a lovely choice. I googled the red bra thing and really can’t buy it.

Re: Pretty bras
I will post photos when I get the red bra so you can all judge. With a t-shirt on though, because I'm not a perv like that Lucy wan.

Re: Pretty bras
I'm rubbing my knees in anticipation!
Bravissimo used to be brilliant and the only place you could get a proper fitting bra and I've been an absolute zealot about it since 2005 when I had my bra revelation. These days they can be a bit pushy about their own brand but whatever, the sizing is still brilliant, I think.

Re: Pretty bras
I'd definitely be interested to see how/if red+white= nude!
Bravissimo have never had a branch in Bristol, which is probably a good part of the reason I've never got round to going there.

Re: Pretty bras
They had one in Cardiff, at least they did years ago, if you're ever there.
I think the ultra small back size stuff is uncomfortable nonsense

Re: Pretty bras
I'm a 28 / 30 G, but haven't tried the boob bust measurement method yet. Only certain styles and brands fit me properly, but when I find a well-fitting bra I am much more comfortable wearing it than going bra-free. I've never understood the thing where women say they can't wait to get home and take their bra off - IMO they must be wearing the wrong size because I don't feel mine at all. OTOH it's been a life-long struggle getting hold of decent bras as normal shops often don't stock my size.

Re: Pretty bras
This is my nude bra of choice. They are moulded cups but not padded, if you see what I mean? Anyway, it's invisible under clothes, gives a nice shape, is comfortable and is available in a wide range of sizes.

Re: Pretty bras
side and front. I have to say that I really didn’t notice the red, at the time but it is clearly obvious from the side. I’ll stick with nude under white (which I think Ella taught me on Handbag years ago)

Re: Pretty bras
Hazey! Lucy will become terribly over-excited.
I need a new pale pink bra. I have a lovely one which I have worn to death and it's gone a bit grey. :sexonastick:

Re: Pretty bras
Better not tell her I’m still wearing it (I changed my top to black afterwards, don’t trust myself wearing white)
