G'day Karen
That's what I usually do but as you've mentioned it didn't work in this
case.
Thanks anyway
Bronwyn ;-)

Suzan, that usually does work, but it didn't with this site, as they
used frames or something as placeholders for the text. All you can see
are blocks of color.

I didn't realise how comfortable a well fitted bra can be until last year!
It's amazing that I have gone so many years wearing ill fitting bras - some
thing I have in common with about 60% of the Australian population.
I sheer frustration when trying on bras I decided that enough was enough and
asked for help from one of the fitters - this was on a Sunday afternoon, in
the sales and with my then 7 yo daughter who was using the fitting room
stool as the basis for her gymnastics practice. Not exactly ideal
conditions..... The fitter was excellent, asked styles I was interested in
and I tried on lots before I found what fitted. I also learnt that some of
the synthetic fabrics are very good in our hot humid summer so I don't have
to wear cotton only. Now I can walk into that shop and see what's new in my
size in the brand I like and that fits and know I will go home with a bra
that fits.
Persevere - the right bra is there for you - you just haven't found it yet!

Thanks for all the input. I forgot to add I am an hour and a half
from a major city (Somerset is a large farming town, we didn't even
have a health food store til last year, and we have one sewing center
which only sells stuff for heirloom sewing and maybe a bit of quilting
cotton.
Besides the logistics I have two boys under two in my full time care
and no babysitter available. so they go everywhere with me.
What is interesting is that everyone is saying this is a fitting issue
and I am so happy to hear your suggestions. I think I will try on
some smaller bras with bigger cups and see if they do fit. maybe I can
alter them if they do. thanks everyone. Kitty
