36H so there's only about 3 brands I can wear and they're usually minimum £25 unless I can buy in the sale. I was ok when I was 38G cos I could buy bras in M&S. They do have about 4 bras in my size online but they are hideous I might see if I can afford it later in the month. I've had to spend nearly £100 this month on new bras already so can't really justify it.

If it helps, I wouldn't want to be wearing it in this weather anyway.

When I lost several stone a few years ago I had to buy a complete new wardrobe including shoes, winter coat, everything. Fuck me, that was expensive.

I've been lusting over a lush longline bra I saw online but I can't justify the £50 it would cost to get it. It's literally the only one I've seen in my size

Ooh, what brand? I wonder if it goes up to a JJ...

Tis this one - but sadly only up to an H

Yeah, thought so. There's a load more choice if you can get into an H.

I've really noticed the drop in choice from going to a G to an H so I can imagine what an epic pain in the arse it is for you

Has anyone bought jeans or trousers from Asos Curve? I always buy dresses a couple of sizes smaller but not sure about jeans.

I've checked the measurements and think I probably should go smaller again but I'm not sure.

I struggle with jeans as they're always too baggy around the arse and thighs.

 

[such and such]

Finally ordered some new stuff for the first time in ages

These boots in black

This dress

 

[gaijingirl]

ooh.. that dress is gorgeous.. may have to go and take a look..

 

[dilute micro]

Can't go wrong with a short black dress.

 

[such and such]

ooh.. that dress is gorgeous.. may have to go and take a look..

If it looks good on me I am going to have to replace my rubbish strapless bra but hopefully it's worth it

 

[dilute micro]

I bought some Maui Jims. Didn't expect to pay so damn much on some glasses but they were the only ones that looked right.

 

[Thimble Queen]

Bought two bone hair clips to wear in my top knot just like pebbles

 

[Chick Webb]

I got a fabulous/disgusting jacket in Primark yesterday. It's very pale blue, stonewashed denim, with (fake) black leather sleeves. I'm most pleased with it.

 

[sojourner]

Going back to my yoof...a pair of red and white baseball boots I only have ankle boots for work, flip flops, and my steelies...so thought I should get some pumpy type things, and these look ace. Hope they fucking fit!

They fit Slightly too narrow because apparently my feet are gigantic and far too big for fucking 'ladies' sizing. But a bit of wear around the house and they'll give

 

[kittyP]

They're fitflops,

My mum and dad got me some Fitflops for my birthday.
They must really work coz while they are very comfortable on the feet they make my back and legs KILL!
It is probably coz I am so unfit and not used to the work out.
I am trying to wear them a little at a time for now.

 

[kittyP]

Cheers for the advice ladies. This is going to be expensive one way or the other Fucking stupid tits

I was wearing bras that didn't fit at all for about 6 months as I just couldn't afford to buy new ones.
It's so unfair having big boobs. They cost you a bloody fortune

 

[gaijingirl]

you should probably get some kind of boobcare vouchers or some other kind of big boob tax break.

 

[colacubes]

Yes. Tit tax credits

 

[kittyP]

Totally

 

[sheothebudworths]

I sent mine back, kits, cos I couldn't get past the CORAL colour but I was SAD cos they were way comfy!
Having said that, I obv only wore them round the house for half an hour or so ....don't fuck your back up, is what I mean (I don't know how much attention should be paid to the claims that they force you into a better postural stance ...I mean, that might be true, but it might still be the case that going from 'bad' posture to 'good' might put extra pressure on your back, iykwim....reckon you're absolutely right to take it slowly anyway (I have shit posture myself...and think I've only managed to semi-correct it myself by doing loads of walking over a few years...much esier to remind myself to stand up properly while I'm actually upright and moving about etc etc).

Aaaaand...fuck I hear you on the bras by the time I have a whole new set that fit and are comfy, it's time to replace them all again....costs shit loads....I wish I had small, neat tits that just fitted into comfy, loose bra tops

 

[Ms T]

Are bras more expensive in bigger sizes then?

I tend to wear mine until they're way past their sell-by date, because I resent spending money on underwear that hardly anyone will see. Plus I have to have matching bras and pants so it costs a fortune.

Once you get over a D cup, they tend to be as there's less choice. Once you get over G it's even worse cos you can't get them at reasonably priced places like M&S.

D isn't even that big really. I don't regard myself as being particularly busty but I'm still a DD because my back is narrow.

Butterfly motif bling in, quelle surprise, silver.<snip>

Continuing the butterfly bling saga, at least one bracelet (possibly a matching pair) was needed. So I bought one from a seller in Hong Kong, very cheap, but I wasn't convinced that it'd get here in time for when it'll be needed.

After a couple of weeks had elapsed and still no bracelet, I cracked and ordered one which seemed more or less identical from a UK seller (about £8 dearer in total). The UK one arrived yesterday, and the Hong Kong one arrived today. Not 100% identical, but near enough to wear as a pair.

I am now fully blinged up.

Innit? The ones I have got now from bravissimo are comfy and fit well but I can tell from the feel that they aint gonna last long. MnS ones feel much better made but I just can't get ones in my size that aren't like old lady bras

My Fitflops are black thank god. Coral Sorry, I can think of some people that coral would suit a treat but not me
I actually have pretty good posture (when standing) anyway. I guess they are just working muscles that I don't normally do very well when walking.
I am going to wear them to the park later but put my Birkenstocks in my bag too.

Lots of cheaper places just don't do bigger sizes and when your bigger, you need to pay for the quality to get the support and comfort you need that you don't have to with smaller sized boobs.

 

[Manter]

completely empathise on the bras. pre pregnant I was 36DD... now I am just a ridiculous size. V expensive and not pretty underwear

 

[tallulahj]

just got another callmebetty dress that I can't really afford but couldn't resist...

 

[tallulahj]

and this necklace

These boots in black

This dress

OK, the dress turned up so my finding. One, I forgot I have broad shoulders so it makes them look really wide if my hair is up Two, I need to buy a better strapless bra (boo) Three, my pins look pretty good when I wear this dress and some heels.

On to pictures!
