Matching Bras and Undies

[Astrid]

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...

that figleaves site is a bloody revelation Divvy. I've just looked at their stuff on how to know whether you're wearing the right size. I've been presuming that because my bras ride up at the back that they're too small but I've got that completely wrong and I'm apparently wearing a band size too big. Just adjusted the bra I'm wearing and put on a tighter fastening and hey presto, no riding up.

Evidently have much to learn about this grooming business.

Yep
I buy matching Bra and undies! I am a DD cup aswell, I buy them through UnderCoverWear, the bras are about $39 each but they are brilliant,supportive and last a long time, i would rather spend money and get quality instead of quantity.

As for when AF is visiting i wear just Black undies and i have a few black bra's just plain ones that are convertiable.

I have bought a couple of Sports bra's and i hunted high and low for a nice pair of pale blue undies that i like.

Slightly OT, but one of the best things I ever did was to get a bra fitted properly by a specialist shop. Had been going to a department store previously but they got it completely wrong. Has really made a difference (went from 22 DD to a 16G!)

As for buying bras and underwear that go together - only time I did this was for my wedding. Now I just buy for practicality. I think I feel more sexy with my outer wear.
