minimiser bra

do they work? I am large breasted lady and have a fitted top, that although fits well,I feel it is tight over my breasts, would a minimiser bra help? does anyone have any advice, and if so what type to go for and make. or any alternatives, returning the top is not an option.

Re: minimiser bra

Why don't you take the top along to M&S and try on one of their minimisers with the top as well, then you can see whether you think it works or not. Also, you could go and have a chat with the ladies in Rigby & Peller at Bluewater and see what they offer?

Re: minimiser bra

Minimisers are good as they have slightly more fabric under to allow the breast to sit slighlty down into that - does that make sense?? Also try Bravissimo, excellent for the fuller busted lady and they have lots of help and advise.

Re: minimiser bra

I would thoroughly recommend Bravissimo (Fantasie brand in particular but not sure whether they do minimisers). Rigby & Peller do lovely bras too but they are more expensive.
The best success I have had was by going to a large department store where they stock lots of makes because their fitters can often recommend a particular make for your shape/size as well as getting the right fit.
Good luck!

Re: minimiser bra

I have used the M&S range for sometime now and find them really good I am 38DD and always trying to make them look smaller, and feel fine when wearing the minimiser. They are mostly really pretty as well.
A good idea to take new top along and try on as somebody already suggested. June x

Re: minimiser bra

I tried one of these from M and S and to be honest never quite got on with it. I found it was too flattening , I think its a case of experimenting.

Re: minimiser bra

I wear a sheepdog bra actually. Doesn't minimise, just rounds them up and points them in the right direction!
Seriously though I have tried minimisers but the best ever are my bras from Bravissimo - very very good fit.
P.S. I am 38G

Re: minimiser bra

Hi Muncie - A Sheepdog bra rounds them up and points them in the right direction! Only a joke - hope you get it. Maybe it's my northern humour as I am originally from Merseyside.
