    So I ventured into town to buy some lingerie for the gf.

    After building up the courage to float around a few lingerie departments on my own i was very annoyed when I realised the lack of choice in slightly larger bra sizes 38 DD :mad: all i could find were boring dull white or black ones looking for something a bit more saucier :D

    Does anyone know anywhere that has a good selection of bra sizes for the bustier woman or even a few web sites would do the job!

    hmm I think its more likely to be wishful thinking:D Although I do know someone who is a 30 H, naturally.... so it isnt beyond the realms of possibility.

    If you want larger sizes, you're better off going to places like BT, Arnotts, Clerys and theres a little shop called Bramora on Earlsfort Tce (opposite the NCH) who do nice lingerie for larger sizes. www.bramora.com
    Brands to look out for are Freya, Fantasie, Chantelle

    Try www.figleaves.com, they have a section especially for DD+

    http://bramora.com/index.php?blink=3&sort=3a&size_id=73

    All 38 DD on this page. Some swimwear on there too.
    Are you/Is she sure thats the correct size?...

    Loads of people wear too high a back and too low a cup size in this country.

    Well I'm just basing it on her current bra's she has I didn't measure her personally :D

    la senza have some lovely stuff. some of their stuff goes up to 38F, but some only to about a D cup i think.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 223 ✭✭tylerdylan


    Marks and Spencer do that size and have some really nice ones
    all with matching bottoms.

    Bravissimo is a good website too.
    M&S can sometimes have a good range also.
    Ann Summers do stock 38DD as well if you are looking for saucier items

    Online? You could try Victoria's Secret (upscale) or Frederick's of Hollywood (downscale).

    Bellalusso is owned by my cousin and his GF. I'll give her a call tomorrow and see if she'd be interested in organising something... Watch this space :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,114 ✭✭✭doctor evil


    In Dublin Kharn?, I try to get myself fitted every few months.


  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 28,633 Mod ✭✭✭✭Shiminay


    They're based in Mayo (they have a shop in Castlebar), but with enough interest, I'm sure they might be willing to try and organise something up here.

    I shall talk with and recommend they join boards, talk with that admins (because family or not, I'd hate to see anyone spamming/advertising for free) and then arrange something through here maybe. Of course, don't take my word for it, I know nothing of their business only that I *really* like their selection. I never visit this board, my gf sent me a link pointing it out to me... :D

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,114 ✭✭✭doctor evil

    LOL, no I am just that lucky :D

    she was actually messured by a lady in Bellaluso. But finds alot of the bra's for her size are very "grannyish"

    she did find some on figleaves.com (& you get a discount if you are registered with pigsback)

    Figleaves or marks and spencers. M&S are very good about stocking the less-common sizes (I know, there's lots of shops that don't carry my size :( ), and their undies are quite pretty ;)

    I was in Dunnes Stores once looking around the lingerie section as herself had said if I see something I might like on her she'd get it! Anyway looking around and I turn to see a man in his 50's pulling something out of his coat pocket! I had to watch further and he pulls a womans bra from his pocket! I just didnt know whether to to laugh or ask him did he want a hand the poor man!

    Off topic I know but had to share a funny experience!
