I had a right side mastectomy 13 years ago and when I went into Myer (the place everyone goes in Australia and asked for help they looked at me like I was a freak. I mean, breast cancer is pretty common. I’ve since cut the wires out of one side myself. Agree that it’s worth the money for quality. The best cheap bra I’ve found for my issues is Skims, incredibly!!
Hate bra shopping, will always hate it. Hated my big breasts when I was younger, hate them even more now that I’m post menopausal and they just keep on getting bigger - 32HH at this point. I know we’re all supposed to be embracing body positivity these days but I just can’t when it comes to my boobs. They just make me look frumpy and mono-booby these days in clothes and appear bigger than I actually am. It’s still very very difficult to get a decent bra when you’re a larger size, especially if you’ve a large cup size and a small back size. I find there might be one brand available with an option in my size and then it’s in a colour I don’t like but have to buy because there’s nothing else. Although despite all that complaining I have to admit buying a couple of Figleaves swimsuits this summer that were actually very flattering and supportive. Their bras aren’t quite right on me though. Maybe it’s time to seriously consider a reduction.
Brilliant article. The right fitting bra can be life changing. It’s one of the first things I do with a new client is check their bra. The right size can make you look slimmer, improves your posture and you will feel fabulous. Style starts with good foundation. Christian Dior wasn’t wrong when fabulously said “without foundation there can be no fashion” thank you for sharing your experience and wonderful advise.
