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 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.

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.

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

    • Had council stock not been sold off then it wouldn't have needed replacing. Whilst I agree that the prohibition on spending revenue from sales on new council housing was a contributory factor, where, in places where building land is scarce and expensive such as London, would these replacement homes have been built. Don't mention infill land! The whole right to buy issue made me so angry when it was introduced and I'm still fuming 40 odd years later. If I could see it was just creating problems for the future, how come Thatcher didn't. I suspect though she did, was more interested in buying votes, and just didn't care about a scarcity of housing impacting the next generations.
    • Actually I don't think so. What caused the problem was the ban on councils using the revenues from sales to build more houses. Had councils been able to reinvest in more housing then we would have had a boom in building. And councils would have been relieved, through the sales, of the cost of maintaining old housing stock. Thatcher believed that council tenants didn't vote Conservative, and home owners did. Which may have been, at the time a correct assumption. But it was the ban on councils building more from the sales revenues which was the real killer here. Not the sales themselves. 
    • I agree with Jenjenjen. Guarantees are provided for works and services actually carried out; they are not an insurance policy for leaks anywhere else on the roof. Assuming that the rendering at the chimney stopped the leak that you asked the roofer to repair, then the guarantee will cover that rendering work. Indeed, if at some time in the future it leaked again at that exact same spot but by another cause, that would not be covered. Failure of rendering around a chimney is pretty common so, if re-rendering did resolve that leak, there is no particular reason to link it to the holes in the felt elsewhere across the roof. 
    • Hey, I am on the first floor and I am directly impacted if roof leaks. We got a roofing company to do repair work which was supposed to be guaranteed. However, when it started leaking again, we were informed that the guarantee is just for a new roof and not repair work. Each time the company that did the repair work came out again over the next few years, we had to pay additional amounts. The roof continues to leak, so I have just organised another company to fix the roof instead, as the guarantee doesn't mean anything.
