Matching Bras and Undies

[widdly]

i have never owned a matching set!

I have great big boobs, so every bra i buy these days is so big and supportive that it looks like a grany bra and the matching undies certainly wouldn't make me feel sexy, they are usually big biege numbers

Oh Captain, I thought I had come up with a masterstroke buying multiple undies but never thought of the fade factor! This grooming lark is more complicated than I had thought.

Widdly - I know what you mean about troublesome big boobs - I'm a D cup and it's SO annoying to find a beautiful bra only to find it only goes up to a C.

I have been wearing my maternity bras because they're so darn comfy even though I stopped BFing four months ago. So I figured (and DP gently prodded) it was time for some new undies.

Fiona it can still work. Just make sure you wash them all together in the same wash.

I'm with you on the big boob thing. I'm a DD verging on E. I have found a great shop that stocks pretty things in the sizes, but it's a lot more expensive. I only but something when I REALLY need it.

I used to have some matching sets, mainly the very nice stuff for going out. The main problem I found with matching sets is that they often don't go well with the outer clothes. If I am wearing dark pants with a light top I often would need to wear dark undies with a light bra. Also depending on the cut of the top or bottoms, the bra or undies would need to be picked to suit it. Bra that would go under a low cut top or undies that had minimal vpl.

I practically never buy matching sets, poor DH I have other lingerie though

I'm like Astrid, I choose my underwear based on what clothes I'm wearing - what bra looks best under that top, what knickers don't show through my skirt, or over the top of my jeans etc etc.

Ryn, it's funny you should mention UK sites for getting big bras - I saw a program on SBS the other night that said British women are recorded as having the biggest breasts in the world!

Don't think I've bought a matching set for years. Ummmm, do they do them in the bulk packs??? You know, like they do 2 bras packs and 5 undies packs? But then, I hardly ever wear undies as they rub on my scar and make me sore. Sometimes I look at the catalogues that come with the paper and think longingly of when I was young though ...........

There's an English website called Figleaves (dot co dot uk) which has specialist bras and undies for us "larger" women. I'm an F cup... up to a GG when breastfeeding, so need a little help and support IYKWIM!

I find that the matching stuff makes me feel SO much sexier...
