    So im looking to upgrade the underwear drawer, preferably with matching sets

    Is there anywhere that sell nice sets, but wont break the bank? Excluding Penneys, where else?

    I wish underwear sets had 3 knickers to each bra. After all, nobody (hardly anyone :) )changes their bra daily, but everyone (almost) changes their knickers daily.

    Change do some nice underwear, it's pricey though, but they have regular sales and buy one get one free offers on sets.

    Ehm like buying two extra pairs of knickers? I have yet to see a set that is sold only as a set and I usually buy two or three matching bottoms per bra.

    I got some stuff from Mango the other day and it was ok. I don't know how easy it is for you to get a good fitting bra but Figleaves might be an option.

    New Look have very nice sets at a reasonable price.

    I should have added both myself and my OHs daughter are outside of the magic limit in that we are both over dd cupwise.

    So for both of us change is ideal.

    They'd a two for one offer last weekend, and I got two very good quality sets of underwear for 59 euro, which is M and S prices.

    Difference is I don't have any M and S underwear that I bought three years ago I still have change stuff, the quality is unreal.

    If you are dd or below, it may not be worth spending on.

    I think it is. I am B or C and buy cheaper underwear when I am fluctuating in size (weight, pregnancy) and especially stuff I bought in Dunnes really doesn't last more than few months, while I have good quality bras that last for years.

    I tend to just go for the good stuff. Panache, Cleo, Freya etc and get them during the Debenhams or Bravissimo sales. I'm a slightly odd size (normally a 30FF/G) so there's generally a few good deals early in the sale.

    I've also found some surprising bargains in TK Maxx (Panache Andorra for £7.99 etc) even though they are bastards for making 30 bands really hard to find on the rails.

    Same here. 30 f. Must check out that change brand

    Brastop.com is very good for D-K cups. They regularly have sales with bras from 15 stg and matching thong/shorts 7stg.


  • Registered Users Posts: 239 ✭✭greentea is just wrong


    Hard to beat M&S, now la senza is gone, I find their underwear wash really well compared to other brands.

    Have got New Look bras before, wouldn't recommend I find they wash terribly, and they top of the cup always folds over for some reason!

    I go into the shops and try on a few styles...then come home and buy them for a third of the price on Ebay. I'm an awkward ish size too, 32 ff, so they tend to be one of the last sizes to sell out. Once I have a bra I really like, I go to Penneys and buy a few different knickers that are the same colour. I spend a fortune on bras because if I don't I end up fiddling all day. My boobs have a life of their own and like to go walkies if they're not strapped down!

    I like new look ones.. especially when they're on sale :)

    Agreed. I actually posted about that here before, it drives me mad. Had to stop buying New Look bras because of it. I always wash them really carefully and re-shape while they're still wet, and it happens regardless.
