Where is the best place to get pregnancy bras no pretty pregnant is closed?

[Strawbs]

I have a large cup size so places like mothercare can't help outside of suggesting a larger back size and smaller cup size which I don't want to do. Is there somewhere nearby ? I was shocked when pp was closed! Thanks x

The bra shop in the group of shops by fabric 205 is good. (I have been there lots but cannot remember the name- sorry!)

The fitter is the lady who used to be in ed warehouse.

She stocks Freya plus a few other brands which go up a larger cup size.

Bloomers on lordship lane .

Failing that the Anita maternity bras with soft wire is super , doesn't block the milk ducts thus causing discomfort and gives great support .

Bloomers is the shop by the fabric place, the owner Sharon, is brilliant and there is a great range.

Brilliant thank you very much!

Still swear by bravissimo - advice is if you get a properly fitting bra that you can still use underwired through most of the pregnancy (still in reg underwired ones @ nearly 36/40).

I just couldn't cope with my bravissimo bras throughout my pregnancy and after , I just felt so restricted . I loved the Anita bras , brilliant for my ample bust and breast feeding .

Bloomers is great but I prefer Bravissimo if you can face a trip to town. Like buggie I just wore a normal under wired, one back size bigger throughout pregnancy until I had to wear nursing ones, after that I liked the Anita ones.

I love rigby and peller - the fit is always perfect. I got fitted for an Anita bra there and then ordered a few more off the internet for a lower price. Just another option (but as not particularly local). Will probably try bloomers out though as so handy if a good fit from there!

Does the 'Fitting Room' still exist in Forest Hill? The lady who ran it specialised in pregnancy/maternity fitting for the ...ahem... more endowed among us. I think someone told me she was Rigby & Peller trained too. I always heard very good things from the women I knew who went the there for their Bra's, it would be a shame if it no longer exists.

It was still there when I passed it a couple of a weeks ago.

The fitting room is still there but she no longer does nursing bras

[sillywoman]

:( Oh no. She's surely missing a trick in this area?!

Does any one know of a brand of pregnancy bras which makes smaller back sizes with big cup sizes?

I remember liking the Anita bras last time, but they only start at 34" back size which is too big. Royce do 32" back but they're not the most attractive of bras and come really high up at the front which means they can't be worn under lots of tops and dresses which are lower cut.

Any ideas? Thanks.

Panache Sophie bra which is nursing but they have small back sizes and large cup sizes.. From bravissimo http://www.bravissimo.com/products/lingerie/nursing-bras/sophie-nursing-bra/black/pnl7bl/

Knomester I use the Fitting Room in FH and did for both pregnancies. The woman there is great and lots of small back size/bigger cup options. Although the days of me having a seriously small back are now behind me, sob, I'm definitely smaller than a 34/32 and their selection was great. xx

I thought pretty pregnant still existed in clapham, i know its not local but they do have a website x

[Knomester]

Thanks Blueskies and bluesuperted. I'll head over to Forest Hill to see what the Fitting Room has in stock.
