Bra Shopping

Recommended Posts

Need some new holsters! Where's best to go? Any good online shops, I'm a larger lady, and would appreciate knowing where's best to buy, as I'd also like some sports bras and a couple of proper bikini tops for underneath tankinis cossies etc? I'm on the Gold Coast near Robina, so if anyone knows of a shop or shops near here it would be great

thanks

Look at the Curvy Kate Range, they go to a J cup, there are a number of shops here who sell them although they are around $100 per bra, I went in the local shop in Cairns bought one to get the size and now order them brand new from eBay where I can get 3 for less than $100

I still order mine from Bravissimo in the UK. I need larger than average sizes and struggle to find anything here that is 30/32 HH.

 

There is a shop in Adelaide St called Evie Boo that specialises in D+ bras and swimwear. It imports most of its stock from the UK (eg Freya) and definitely does your size. It has a similar measuring service to that provided by Bravissimo. However, the bras can be expensive - usually $80+. I have bought bras, swimwear and sports bras/triathlon tops from there. I also still resort to ordering from M&S in the UK as they have such lovely designs and they are so cheap. It's worth the risk that they don't fit.

My sister-in-law came over here few years ago (from Brisbane) and was amazed at the choice and low prices we have here for curvier ladies, so much so that she now orders all of her clothes etc even shoes online, mostly from Evans and has them delivered to her in Brisbane! I suppose that's ok as long as you aren't looking to return things and you know what brands fit and don't fit. Australia seemed quite expensive for clothes to me. Hope you find something :)

Ive bought a few now from Next online, I find it helpful as I can order British sizes, I dont understand the Aussie ones, I ought to get myself measured up really but Im too embarrassed, Im a 38 G.

 

I had an email yesterday from Evie Boo in Adelaide Street Brisbane saying that their 40% off sale is running until 4 August so there may be some bargains for us curvy Qld girls....

Have to say I'm still using Bravissimo from the UK - I haven't worked out Oz bra sizings yet (they don't appear to be the same), as haven't had time. Plus I know what fits and feels comfy and looks good (specific bra and bikini top wise) from them, so I just re-order the same boring things over and over lol. The sales they have are pretty good too :D In fact, I should have a package come on the mail plane today from them from their summer sale - hurrah, lovely new undies and comfy lounging top ahoy! (Don't need the bikini here in the red centre so much....)

 

The shipping isn't very much, and if you want to try something new, you can always post it back again (although this probably would cost a fortune with Oz post from my experience of sending packages overseas).
