treated mysef to a non bf bra and thought it was £29 when i went to pay was told it was £49 :smiley-fa it was a Legaby one. Haven't brought a bra for so long haven't got a clue how much normal ones. THere is only 1 shop in the village that sells them and I don't have the chance to go to Preston in the week

If its a good quality and nice bra don't think that is too much, the most I have paid is £30. Its nice to treat ourselves sometimes as its always the kids that get the treats.

£49 for a bra !!!! I choke at paying over £15 but then again I hate spending a lot of money on clothes

Just hope at that price its gold plated and encrusted with diamonds

It is a lot i bet you were shocked when they told you. Thr most i've spent is £28 on a really good bra from la senza. Is it a really good one and would you have bought it if you had known before you got to the till it was that much. Only you really know if it's worth the money as we can't see the quality of it . If it is a really good quality bra i do think it's worth the money and it's nice like Kerry says to treat yourself.

I felt so rushed that I brought it (had 2 kids with me at the time) but want to take it back and get a cheaper one.

It is a lovely bra, purple with black ruffle and diamonds on it, well tiny fake ones. I'm cross with myself as it was my budget for going out dress etc.

I broke the golden rule trying to do something in a hurry. Dh did say he would give me some money towards it , so I guess if I keep it it won't be so bad. No treats next month though!!

you could keep it and tell him its His valentines gift:blusingan tell him for yours you would like something nice to wear it with.

I have just been SOMEWHERE and saw one for £49.99 and I can tell you there wasn't a lot on that for your money!!!

Here here !

Last bras I bought were £22 each , which I hated paying, and I bought 3 of them !! BUT they fit so nicely and are are the best shaped cup Ive ever worn!

Looks like you might be going out in just a bra then :hysterica

Seriously though, take it back if you want to

Well ... I am really stingy so its alot for me, but .... if its your first purchase of a new bra that isnt bf then I think you deserve a treat!

One year, early in our relationship, my dp bought me a bra, pants and vest and I saw the receipt (over £100). I went MENTAL!!! I said I could have bought an entire wardobe with that money bla bla bla!!!

Oh well!

Enjoy wearing it ... did you get the matching pants? And what are you going to wear it under?

I didn't get matching panites I brought a pair of hold in pants for £6.99 which says you can have your money back if not happy, well I tired them on and bugger me if I can see any difference so I want to take them back, but guess what, Dh has thrown the box away!!!!!

There was a pair of hold in lycra pants which were £23.99 which looked a bit like cycle shorts but in tan colour and I struggled to put them on they did the job but I saw the price and thought no way....... plus they were ghastly looking more so than the cheaper ones. Going to dig the box out and return them as they were pants..... Still got tag on the bra not made my mind up yet but it does look like it will be going back , still not sure yet tho. I have a draw of really nice bras which don't fit, not sure if they ever will.:unsure:

Have you tried the Simply Be website, they do a whole range of sizes. The sizing is accurate but they have a good returns policy anyway and you do not have to open an account. They have some nice lingerie.
