Have just ordered this dress...hoping it will be suitable to wear to a Christening at the weekend but it might be a bit too high...

Have also ordered some new black pumps to replace mine which are developing holes in the soles I think these will only be suitable for wearing with trousers, so might have to also get another pair

Do you mean the split might be too high? No chance you have a navy skirt you can layer it with? Might look fine as it is though. The dress is very pretty. Love the print and the cut looks very flattering.

Your underwear choices are lovely Jinadaze.

Oh those Heidi Klum's underwear sets are gorgeous. In which price range are they? I find it very hard to find well fitting bra, now I use almost only Calvin Klein seamless bras, I have them in black, white and nude. I am only D cup/ 75 cm around, but any bra rarely fits me "in the midde", the problem is always between the cups or near the arm pits. But I guess it is pretty difficult also to design bras because all breasts are different. I also love CK's bra tops, they kind of have cups but no wire, even with little bigger bust they do look like you have good bra, but of course they do not fit with every outfit.

 

[barbaraaa]

^ maybe you should look into bra fitting

CHANGE are really good at sizes. I like the look of CK bras, but their size range is too limited so none of them fit me.

Some specialist stores also do alterations, but in my experience it's possible to find a brand or two that really fits correctly, no alterations necessary (YMMV). I suspect the bras on the last page would not work for a D cup One of the many things in life that must simply be accepted ... I have yet to come across an airy, lacy confection that offers serious support.

 

[Jinadaze]

^ It depends on the under bust circumference really. Mine is only 32 (70 cm) and I could easily fit into D with the Heidi Klum's one. The cup in this case really isn't that big and it offers enough support.
TommyGirl, it's really hard to tell, since her lingerie is really expensive in the US and a lot cheaper in Europe. Beats me, it's mostly the other way around. The sizes run small, just so you know if you decide to order something online (as I did).

Btw, I am stunned every time I read or hear "only D".

 

[barbaraaa]

Well, in UK sizes cups go up to like M... with correct fitting, an average busted woman is definitely not a B cup! Besides, a 28D won't look the same as a 38D...

[Jinadaze]

I've noticed quite te opposite - that UK brands in general have a wide selection of sizes.
Also I have to say that I HATE the sizes that go from XS to XL, it's nightmare. Not everyone with bigger bust have a wide torso.
