Decent bras

    Hey! Just wondering if anyone can recommend a good place to get good bras at a decent price? I've gotten a few in Pennys, but they just get worn out so easily and way too quickly. Even some online suggestions would be great!

    Thanks!

    I get mine in Debenhams, great for the larger busted ladies! :)

    They have an online store too, and they take laser card, which is super handy as I don't really want a credit card!

    Their "Gorgeous" line is the best imo (cringe name, I know).

    I quite like Dunnes t-shirt bras, they're about 15-20 euro. Haven't had any issues with the band or straps losing their elasticity (a big issue I had with M&S bras). Only problem I've had with them started recently and is probably because I need to change cup size :)

    TK Maxx is worth a look, DKNY etc would be only a bit dearer than Penney's etc and slightly better quality.
    Debenhams definitely worth a look as mentioned above, and Next have some gorgeous stuff but their sizes are a bit dodgy in my experience, definitely need to try before you buy every time!

    Arnotts is the best place imo, next best would be Debenhams or bts would have a very good selection too. Debenhams have very good quality own brand stuff which is very reasonably priced.
    Wherever you go get an assistant to measure you and then they will go out hunting for bras to fit, tell them your colour and style preferences and they'll bring you heaps to try on.

    Figleaves for online bra shopping but you are better off getting fitted first in a real shop for a particular bra. Sizing/fit can vary from brand to brand.

    I buy mine in shaws in the sales. I am a fan of triumph but not a fan of paying €40 a bra if I don't have to.

    Not into m&s bras at all have tried them a few times and always end up spilling out of them where it looks like I have 4 boobs

    I buy mine from

    www.asos.com and www.dollsanddreams.co.uk

    Hate penneys ones-very bad fit!

    30% off lots of brands at the moment in Arnotts.

    The Gorgeous range from Debenhams, as mentioned above, is great as well. They do good value two-pack t-shirt bras. I love their Floozie by Frost French range too, for something more fun and, ahem, sexy ;)

    +1 for Debenhams - have gotten some great quality bras from there before

    You can't beat M&S for bras imo, but you always have to try them on first. Some of them look awful once you put them on, others are perfect, so you'd have to try on a few different types to see what works for you. I've tried other brands, but I keep going back to M&S.
