I have two new bras - both the same size and both by Avon, but one fits just fine and the other is too big in the cups! How the heck are we supposed to get the size right when the manufacturers can't? I now have to go on a special bra trying shopping trip just so I can find one that fits - my advice Dawnie would be to go to somewhere like Marks and Spencer's and grab as many bras as you're allowed to take into the changing rooms and hopefully at least one will fit just right - nothing worse than an uncomfortable bra.

Jess, you can have all of mine. Believe me, after a couple of days you'd be grateful for what you've got.

Dawn - the cup size is what is important here unless they are digging in your back and then its the whole thing that's wrong. A 36DD's cup is the same size as a 34E its just the back that is different...... so for instance if 34D is cutting in everywhere you need a 36C..... you go up a back size and down a cup! hope that makes sense. xx

Don't talk to me about bras - I was flat chested for years and then one day they decided to start growing and now I can't keep up! lol I measured myself the other day and put the measurements into two different sizing websites and came out with two different sizes! If they can't get it right then how on earth are we meant to? Where abouts do the wires dig in Dawnie? You might have your bra up too high or you may well need a bigger cup size - usually if you need a bigger cup size then the wires will stick in the side of your boobs? Bras are like all womens clothes - the size on the label doesn't mean much, you have to try on a hundred different ones before you find one that fits! lol Kaye x
