Well I have had a couple of busy weeks with the baby which is why I haven't been able to update my blog.

Things are pretty much the same size wise but I did manage to get an underwired bra - finally!! I had a nasty experience in the first shop I went to as the woman just did not know how to deal with fitting a bra for the bigger chested lady and basically ended up telling me to just make do with the bras I was already wearing as I would be having an operation eventually which would be the best way for me to feel comfortable - thanks for your help! To be honest she was that unhelpful and made me feel really shite about myself that I came out of the shop in tears. Luckily my hubby was there and he ended up talking me into going into one of the department stores to see if there was anything they could do and I was glad I did...

One of the sales women told me to try a lovely little shop called Leia which specialises in bras for the bigger chested ladies. Once there I got measured and found that I was in fact wearing the wrong size anyway and am in fact a 30 measurement not a 32! I then tried on a 30K which fitted me much better than the less supportive sports bra. Its still a huge cup but boy does it make my boobs look much better in tshirts. They just look more normal as there is much more support. I have to say that comfort wise it isn't great and after a few hours the wire is really pressing into my skin just because of the weight of my boobs I guess but I don't feel so self conscious in my tight tshirts when wearing it so thats something positive! The dents in my shoulders continue to deepen...

Another good thing - I am going to a friends wedding in a couple of weeks and was really depressed as I didn't think I would be able to find anything nice to wear. However my Mum found a mail order company that specialises in dresses and clothes for the bigger bust. I had to order a super curvy size 8 but am pleased to day it fits. The dress is gorgeous - blue and at long last I feel feminine again! I have had to have a little stitch
