And finally got to Bravissimo!

So while I was 'working from home' this afternoon, I finally managed to get over to Bravissimo in Reading for a fitting. The girl was lovely, had a chat about what I was after, what I currently wore, and had a look and a tug at my bra. I was after the Freya Deco Soft cup, so she toddled off to get one...and comes back with a 32F!! I was like whoa! Popped it on, and yes, it was slightly too big in the cup, so we tried the 32E and it fit perfect. One thing to note (coz I was asking lots of questions for you girlies) is that a soft cup won't sit flush to your ribs like the gore of a wired bra, but all the other points of fitting are the same. She also did my straps a lot tighter than I perhaps would, so that was good to observe.

I also liked the look of the Maddie (can't remember the brand) black balconette. She first brought in a 34DD, as she said it comes up tight, but even on the second clips it was riding a little high in the back, so we tried the 32E again and it looked lovely.

One thing I found out too, is if they don't have the size in store, the store will order it for delivery to your door with free P&P. So saved myself £3.95 by getting the store to order it for me, bargain!

So in conclusion, I would absolutely recommend getting a Bravissimo fitting once you're all dropped and soft. If there's not one on your doorstep, it's definitely worth the travel for a daytrip or an overnighter. Treat Yo'self!!

They are the crème de La crème of fittings aren't they. 

Some good tips there too Charlii     X

Thanks Charlii! Fabulous :) I looked at the 'store locator' yesterday - not that I've need them for a couple of months, but always nice to know :) xx

Amazing :) defo worth trying then and will plan on going to my local which will be a trip into London - Oxford circus once the boobs have settled. Do you have to book an appointment or a walk in service? X

They are great aren't they :)
I might go back just to be pampered...... ;) x

I walked in and waited 5mins, but it was 3.30 on a Friday. I think if you were going to Oxford Circus you'd be better to book a slot.

They are so lovely aren't they!  I actually can'twait to go back again in a few months time! x

I love that maddie bra, not fancy or frilly but gives a fabulous shape. Have a black one but will get some more colours once have had the re op xx

Oooh there's one in Reading!! Going there for my hen weekend 9 weeks post op....perfect!  Honeymoon underwear sorted! lol X

Yup, it's hidden away! If you're on the highstreet, there's a little alley opposite boots, down the side of John Lewis to get to the Oracle. It's just past Cath Kidston. They have a good selection of undies and swimwear.

That's great to know!  Definitely planning a shopping trip to Cardiff!

I have £50 of bravissimo vouchers I haven't yet spent yet, love it in there.

Wow thanks for this! Will definitely be making an appointment when the time comes!! Xx

awww I can't wait till Im able to go and be properly fitted there. X

Great charli, I do love bravissimo for their service. It's impeccable and so tailored. Makes you feel special taking their time and getting you lots of diffrent bras to try on with no rush x

Ohhhh this is so exciting!! Can't wait to go!! Xx
