I discovered a littl...I hope it's not stalking ;-)<br /><br />I discovered a little widget at http://co.mments.com/ which means that when I leave a comment I can just press a button on my tool bar and it aggregates all the threads. They all get laid out on one webpage, which shows new comments (which I can clear). the most recent rise to the top.

I hadn't bought any bras from M&S for ages, actually, and was last fitted about 15 months ago in Jarrolds, which is a (still) family-owned large department store in Norwich. The sort of shop where the fitter looks at you and knows your size, puts her arms round you and confirms it and finds you the Best Bra you have ever tried on.<br /><br />My daughter went to Rigby and Peller and had a similar experience, but at about treble the cost, that is, treble last year's cost about ten years ago. But she is more generously endowed, though slimmer, than I am.Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00822383355869390919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-77997460048950412782006-11-12T19:44:00.000+00:002006-11-12T19:44:00.000+00:00I wonder if you have considered looking elsewhere ...I wonder if you have considered looking elsewhere for your bras. For years I was in an M&S-only mindcast, then I encountered Bravissimo. They measured me radically differently from M&S, so I changed from 40DD to a 34H, which just isn't in M&S range at all. And I have been told that John Lewis have a similar philosophy. The point being is that the support comes from the horizontal band rather than the straps.<br /><br />And the point I'm trying to make is that I do find that M&S bras - and their clothes in general - are more robust and longer lasting than other similarly priced brands, but there are other makes available. I have a couple that are padded in the lower half of the cup but most are not. <br /><br />I can't personally say one way or the other about John Lewis but you might have a look next time you're passingAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-16168170101258888932006-11-11T08:36:00.000+00:002006-11-11T08:36:00.000+00:00Ooh, mothers, don't they have the knack of making ...Ooh, mothers, don't they have the knack of making one self-conscious.<br /><br />Glad to know I'm not the only one - though I feel it should be a pleasure, apart from the dismal stripping off in a cubicle with all-round mirrors, that is.

And I'm on the other side of the pond..and wear the same size as you. <br />It takes me forever to find a proper bra. I would love to have a front clasp one but sheesh...almost impossible to find. I don't need or want padding...why do they put padding in anything over a C cup?? and shouldn't we have a choice whether we want to be padded or not?<br />oooh, I HATE bra shopping.<br />sorry, didn't mean to go on a bra rant. it just happened.<br />(hurriedly steps off her soapbox and shoves it in a corner, properly out of sight)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-6857620201798768552006-11-11T00:09:00.000+00:002006-11-11T00:09:00.000+00:00Ugh, bra shopping...hate it.

Made me rather obsessed with wondering how many people looked at my chest and noticed when I was chilled. I did find a couple of bras but...what is the deal with spaghetti straps? Granted the garment stays in place but one has to frequently pull the straps back on to shoulders.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
