Where do you get your bras from? And do you know anywhere that caters to the larger sizes? Are there any nice maternity bras out there?
Thanks in advance!!! |
I was a size 34G before getting pregnant and I am now a 38K. I was just fitted into my nursing bra last week.
I have a place for you. It is a small trip from Richmond, but worth it.

The nearest tube is Highbury and Islington and is a 2 minute walk from there.
The woman who owns it is named Yvonne. A work colleague recommended her to me and most of the larger women in my office go to her. People go to her for training on bra fitting, as well.
She carries lovely bras in all colours, patterns, etc. I have some really nice nursing bras from her. And I think that is an achievement since I am so large.
But, be prepared if you go. The place is in a complete shambles and you will have to navigate your way between boxes. However, she is the best bra fitter I ever had and I've been having fittings since I was a busty girl of 12 (size D by the time I was 11). Do not be surprised if she takes one look at you and tells you that you are wearing the wrong size and will take your old bra from you if you get any from her as she has this pet peeve about ill-fitting bras.
If you go to her, tell her Alexandra sent you.
