Absolutely love this shop. Don’t know why I didn’t come here years ago! The fitting service is great, the staff are really helpful I think one of the things that put me off is I always thought it was expensive but I only paid £25 for a great well-fitted bra, which is less than the last time I was fitted in a well known chain(in completely the wrong size, I might add!). I’ve not tried any of the clothes yet, which do seem a bit pricey but it turns out a couple of my mates swear by them. It’s probably worth paying that little bit extra to have something that actually fits!

I wish I had known about this shop a long time ago! I treated myself to some new underwear on the weekend and ended up getting a bit over excited — a shop that has beautiful bras for big busted women! I ended up buying a fab sports bra and a couple of gorgeous numbers which I am thrilled with. The staff helped me try on a few different sizes and I can’t believe the difference it’s made — so much more comfortable! Edinburgh ladies who are blessed with a bit more, get on down there.

I don’t like bravissimo. You get sent this magazine and it all looks wonderful, great selection and every size in the world available. Then you go to the shop… their stock is skanty to say the least. Pardon the pun. So you’re sent upstairs and instructed to give your measurements to the staff, who then go away for ages and ages and ages then they tell you they don’t have it. Most infuriating thing ever! My mum is a very impatient lady — her biggest pet hate is queues, so imgine her disgust. Her parting blow was ‘i am going to Unilocal about this’. Errr… ok mum. But the thing is, I had the exact same expierance and was equally as annoyed as she, and so I feel the poor Unilocal is justified.

Bravissimo just confuses me but they’re doing something really clever that I’m surprised nobody has thought of before. My friends all shop here and I decided to jump on the bandwagon so went along for a bra sizing and was told that I was a 28FF… a what?! According to trusty old Marks and Sparks I’m a 32D which is a size that is stocked by pretty much anywhere that sells bras. So you can imagine my problem when I trawled round Marks and Sparks and Primark looking for a cheap bra in a 28FF, they didn’t have it. In fact, the only place that had it was Bravissimo… funny that. So, by making up sizes that you can only get in Bravissimo they have a huge following. The prices are extortionate and while the underwear is very nice it’s not really worth the price tag. Perhaps for women with huge huge knockers then Bravissimo does the job but I’m still not convinced when Marks and Spencers has been catering for all shapes and sizes for years. I’ll stick with Marks.

I spent my all important teenage years in the ballet studio which I like to think is the reason I am completely flat chested. My mum has huge badongas so I need to have an excuse. Apparently all my friends have Jordan style boobs, so we always seem to end up here. It’s like taking a Weight Watcher into a chocolate shop, so many things I want to buy but can’t. Generally when you go into Marks and Spencers and look at the larger bras, they just look like helmets. But Bravvisimo brings the style and sophistication to the larger chested amongst us. Watch out though, the bras are super expensive at around 40 quid.

This isn’t really the place for me(I say looking down longingly) however my friends all have cracking racks so birthday presents to emphasise this is the way forward. Based on the Multrese Walk it does give it a certain exclusivity that I don’t think it deserves as really it’s just another high street chain but because the bigger the boobs the most luxurious your underwear gets(true fact) then it deserves its place catering for the masses, get it? The staff were helpful if not concerned about my emotional wellbeing and helped me out with some wonderful gift vouchers which my friend said didn’t stretch very far(ungrateful cow) but then again, it’s a pricey place and I’m a skinflint, luckily I don’t have big boobs to support.

I loved the exterior of Bravissimo. The shop front was very glossy and inviting, so I went in for a look. The sizes start at a D cup, and at 2 sizes smaller all I could do was browse. I don’t envy the bigger boobied amongst us though; these bras are very pretty and well made but they are expensive, which is a shame considering I can pick up a bra in Primark for £4 and make do with that. The swimwear in particular is gorgeous, with one yellow polka dot bikini really catching my eye. However, at £29.00 for the top and £17 for the bottom, its a pricey bit of beach wear. Great for ladies who pack a punch in the breast area, for the more modest amongst us, Primark it is!

If you’ve got boobs of a certain size, your choices of bras are severely limited. Obviously going without one is not an option, so thank god for Bravissimo. The shop on Multrees Walk has a fantastic selection of bras for the well endowed amongst us and they’ve got all bases covered — sexy ones, practical ones, sporty ones, minimisers and push-ups. They even do a range of clothes, so you’ll never have to suffer from gaping shirts and ill-fitting wrap dresses again. The fitters are friendly and approachable, making shopping there a comfortable and enjoyable experience — they’re also specially trained so you can be sure you’re buying the right size.

A great shop for bigger busted women! They stock a great selection of bras and well as clothing for curvey women. The fitting service is great, although you do have to book at busier times. If a style you like isn’t in store it can also be ordered for you.
