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.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
