Hi Caroline,
We are on the same “bra strap” here. I too love lingerie by brands such as Simone Perele and their outlet store at Southern Cross Station here in Melbourne, a place I frequent on my trips to the “big smoke”, is always a threat to my credit card. At clearance prices, of course and tho’ as practical as they are, no white bras for me, too plain for even this old chook. So lots of lovely colours as per the Bendon range.
What’s worse for the credit card is, as far as possible the matching panty is also a must, with plenty of “coverage” where possible, for obvious reasons.
I’ve checked La Perla for size but I think they cut out at 16 and I’m an 18. Who would put a bra extender on these and spoil the “feeling”.??
Another of my favorite brands is buying on line from “Love Intimo”, they have some really gorgeous pieces
I was recently visiting friends and family in Canada and of course had to buy some “souvenirs”, aka two bra and panty sets. One lot came from Sears and were of the “less expensive variety” and the other, “Wacoal Full Cup Retro Chic in Cappuccino” with matching “full brief” panty, came from the Hudson’s Bay store in Vancouver.
Guess which ones are a/. the more comfy and I wear the most and b/. what I wore when I did my makeover and shopping trip with Ophelia from Cross Dress with Class back in September?…
Anyone on TGR travelling to Canada and would like to shop at these stores, please contact me. I found a lovely customer service lady at each of these stores, so if you’d like to “ease your way in”, get in touch. There’s something about bra shopping we TG’s like, that “GG:’s” hate!!……
And as for the “Retro Chic”, being one of the more “mature” TGR members, “if the bra cup fits”… I’ll wear it…..
Oh and “BTW”, I miscounted my “Corals” I have 5!!!
Regards to all and whilst I’m at it Merry Christmas and a “Happy Dressing” 17.
(Hope that’s not too far off topic!!!)

PS As a keen fisherman, one of the most famous marks I fish is a place called the “Corals”. There’s a message in there somewhere, but the one that wont “fit” is “wearing my Corals at the Corals”.
Well maybe under a t shirt and definitely sans breast forms, at least whilst I’m on the boat ramp….
