Q. I have a large bust (34E), and finding pretty bras that fit well is a real problem. Can the net help me out?
A. Well endowed women may be the envy of the flat chest brigade, but life with a big bust is not always easy. Clothes tend to pucker and buttons strain but worse is the fact that it can be almost impossible to buy a gorgeous bra in a larger size.
Shops may stock lacy styles in rainbow colour combinations and sizes A, B, and C but when faced with a more challenging chest they either fail dismally or offer the sort of underwear your grandmother would wear.
There has long been an obvious gap in the market for really pretty underwear for larger sizes but a few enterprising underwear companies are starting to fill it. Lingerie firms such as brastop.com, and Simply Yours stock fun styles and M&S have extended their trendier ranges up to size GG.
If you're not online, you're missing out on a whole lot of fun in the fab world of cyber shopping. Luckily for you, the internet also has a wealth of on-line underwear sites that offer sexy bras in bigger sizes. Many are based overseas, but the following are best for delivery in the Ireland and the UK. www.margaretann.co.uk is based in Wiltshire and accepts orders via fax or e-mail.
Although bigger bras aren’t pictured alongside the normal- sized ones featured on the site, Margaret Ann is able to supply similar styles to suit large and very large busts - these garments are extremely glamorous and sourced from around the world.
Bravissimo.com is a fantastic site for ladies with larger busts, and has some beautiful ranges of underwear - plain and sexy. It also has fantastic funky graphics and is all set on a beautiful pink background.
Other good underwear sites, and some of the bigger ones on the net, are the snappily titled www.Brieflook.co.uk and www. figleaves.com, which you might also find useful. www.amplebosom.co.uk might sound frumpy, but it also sells a good range of bras for the bigger bust.
Happy shopping!
