Buying bras has never been easier! Until I chanced upon Bravissimo in Cardiff one day, buying bras was a pretty hit and miss affair.

I’d get the ‘bra lady’ to measure me in M&S occasionally and then shut myself away in a changing room with about a dozen bra before coming out and buying the one that fitted best which was usually the one that looked the least attractive!

Having breastfed a veritable tribe of children at various points in the dim and distant, and also having aged (as you do!),  not all bras suited me. 34DD on a 20 year old is not the same as 34DD on a 46 year old!  It really was getting harder and harder to find a bra that looked good and made me look good.

But I swear Bravissimo have returned my boobs to their former glory! I don’t know how they do it, but they work out what size you are ‘by eye’!  I was told I was a 34F and had been buying the wrong size bra for years. (Apparently the vast majority of women in the UK are wearing the wrong size bra and it’s true that buying the right size and right style bra for your boobs makes a massive difference.)

I’ve bought a few bras from them now and for the first time in my life I also bought a bikini (yes in spite of my stretch marks) which fitted me and I’ve treated myself to some strappy Summer tops with built-in bras so I don’t have those nasty bra straps on display all the time. 

Bravissimo has got to be the ‘find of my life’ and I won’t be wasting any more time doing the M&S bra run again.
