Where to purchase Panache Tango bra's?

[spicey]

i was confused with a visit to meadowhall marks and spencers, i asked to be measured, which she did, i went and chose a few bra's and took them to the changing area, after trying them all on, only one fitted perfectly, one was too tight, one was too loose, so i said to the woman on the counter, how come they are all the same size but only one fits, she said, it all depends on the make of the bra, some are smaller sized, some are larger sized, so i said, well what was the use of me getting measured if they dont make the bra's the right size:loopy:

 

I always got measured at M & S and thought they must be telling me the right thing as they are experts. I just assumed my boobs looked droopy because they are slightly larger than average. Then I visited Rigby and Pellar and they told me a totally different almost ridiculous size. Hoever I tried a bra on with my apparant size and I couldn't believe how amazing it fit. The lady who did my sizing told me than M & S always tell you a bigger back and a smaller cup but this causes stress on your shoulders, which is why some women (including me - before) get deep grooves there. You should wear a tighter back and that is where the support comes from.

 

I'd recommend going to John Lewis to get measured and if you can get to a Rigby and Pellar or Bravissimo (I think they only go up to 40 backs though).

Sorry, just another quick moan about M & S, they always have discusting ugly bras for larger cup women.

Yes and the nice bras never go up to your cup size and you end up going in the middle of the shop.

 

I regularly buy from bravissimo. It's not cheap but its worth it. They are fantastic about returns too. I just ordered a tankini from there and I need a bigger back size so returning the one I have and they will send me the next size for free.

Figleaves.com are quite good for larger sizes. Bit pricey for some ranges though, but worth it if they fit! They do Panache as well.

 

M&S and Debenhams seem to be on a mission to badly measure as many women as possible. This is probably a cunning sales plan, so you end up buying ten bras in the hope that at least one will be comfortable.

OK- my take on the pretty but large bras situation.

 

If you know where to go then there's not really a problem- eBay have a number of dedicated sellers of large size seconds (with which I've never had a problem) at £10 ish less than the retail price of bras.

 

Other fab shops are:

 

http://www.amplebosom.com/, which is quite local, in North Yorkshire

 

http://www.bravissimo.com/bravissimo/

 

http://www.mapledrive.com/b/ps.php?show=brasize

 

Ample Bosom and Bravissimo only do large cup sizes, but Maple Drive do the full range but allow you to search for your size and only see the styles available in your size.

 

I've previously bought Panache, Fantasie and other ranges from all 3 of these suppliers.
