I had a suspicion that I might not be 34b any more but I really needed it spelling out for me. AND the spiced caramel pies. I think I ate the majority of them - they were only small! ;o)Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13656222741423910557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6530322011980194624.post-53640819649763880822017-11-30T15:43:31.945+00:002017-11-30T15:43:31.945+00:00I have.

I actually thought my new bra was too small at first as it felt so much tighter than my old one but it does seem to be holding me in place by the band rather than the straps which is what a bra is supposed to do - I read that somewhere. I know I'm not huge but finding a 30 bra is proving a little more challenging. I've been measured by M&S a few times, very different each time and probably why I've just ended up making an assumption about what size I am. But yep, I think bra shopping is going to be online in future. xSuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13656222741423910557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6530322011980194624.post-3277418238788246302017-11-29T23:12:53.136+00:002017-11-29T23:12:53.136+00:00Getting measured for a bra is something I've m...Getting measured for a bra is something I've meant to do for ages. Like you, I've been a 34B forever (supposedly) but my sister, who used to work on the Rosie range for M&S said no way - she thinks 34C or (more likely) 36B. I rode racehorses for years and, as a consequence, have something of a gladiatorial upper body unfortunately (I'm under 5'2, so look more like a weightlifter than an amazon). I really should get measured - thanks for the inspiration! Although now you've introduced me to *SPICED CARAMEL PIES* I'll probably be a size bigger by Christmas. Aldi's 'Exquisite' mince pies are the best I've had anywhere, so I have high hopes for the spiced caramel.

I'm considerably more 'gifted' in the boob department than you but as a size 10 I also have a small back, I wear a 30FF so am absolutely in the Bravissimo category (because the high street tries to squeeze us into a small range of sizes to cut tbeir costs). The dreaded M&S will do bras in your size but don't take their sizing advice, the other department stores are better at sizing and stock a good range of brands. Once you know which brands fit you well there's loads of choice online.Dr Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05613096227248477781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6530322011980194624.post-15804579286691995582017-11-25T23:14:17.325+00:002017-11-25T23:14:17.325+00:00Hi Bean.

But good to know about the Elle MacPherson bras - how strange that the 32c is equivalent to a 30D. I need to get in to a shop to try a few more on to see how they fit - can you sense the joy I'm feeling at this task ahead? xSuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13656222741423910557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6530322011980194624.post-4085936081997938762017-11-25T14:26:48.946+00:002017-11-25T14:26:48.946+00:00Hi Sue - good to have you back!

Love the mint velvet cardi and like you I prefer more subtle Xmas sweats!<br />I don’t know if you remember but I did a whingey blogpost called Smalls (I think!) a while back complaining about the lack of variety in 28 and 30 back bras... and most of the brands that do these sizes are for properly well endowed ladies, and as such the shoulder straps are about an inch wide! Pah! Anyways... Elle Mcphearson bras come up small across the back... 32c is equivalent to a 30d... xXBeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00859335916158847267noreply@blogger.com
