have you tried the fitting studio in dartmouth road in forest hill - supposed to be a very good service for measuring and helping you pick out maternity and nursing bras that are just the right fit, I haven't been but friends have and said it was great..


just googled it..

The Fitting Studio is a MUST - Kyra and Anne are lovely and exceptionally good at what they do. They are very near the corner of Dartmouth Road with London Rd, 2 mins walk from the bus stops and BR. You're best off ringing them - they usually run on an appointment basis but don't let that put you off - it's so they can help you properly while you are in the changing room. They don't do the hard sell either.

Support your local business!!

I also warmly recommend the fitting studio - excellent service and they really know what they are doing. I didn't rate the fitting service at pretty pregnant - they just went by what the tape measure says which is never going to work (there is another thread about this on the forum somewhere but I'm afraid I can't remember where.)

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


Their fitting service is excellent and I've had better experiences with them than with The Fitting Studio. Pretty Pregnant have a very limited selection of larger sizes. Will never buy bras from anywhere else! Covent Garden is probably the closest one.

Yes, the ladies are really lovely in pretty pregnant but perhaps not all of them are that experienced in fitting bras (not complaining at all, there's no reason why they would be) and the person who measured me for nursing bras got the size wrong by several sizes. Ended up in trusty M&S in town for measuring but then went back to pretty pregnant to buy some bras. Next time will try the fitting studio.

I'm a 36H, and I'm not sure I'd have it this far with breastfeeding without proper wired nursing bras. I tried the Anita ones but found they were dug in and made me look lumpy and were completely without support. The Fitting Studio is great but when I was there last they didn't stock Elomi Elomi bras, which are all I wear now. They are smooth and supportive (not as pretty as Hot Milk unfortunately) but they are just amazing after wasting hundreds of pounds on bras that I hated wearing while my boobs got lower and lower..

Actually I found them to be similar (possibly a tiny bit bigger) my normal (non maternity) bras. In a lot of the other (non-wired) nursing bras I tried I was finding H and HH cups a squeeze so compared to those I suppose they're huge.

Quite a few of the reviews complain about the clips too and I have to say, they are a little awkward. That said, I haven't found them at all difficult to undo one handed, but I do need two to do them up again (I did though with the usual ones too so it hasn't bothered me too much)

Honestly, this bra made me want to shout from the rooftops, or at least march down to the BF workshop and round up the bigger breasted women and tell them all about it.

Good luck with it, I hope you find something that works for you.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
