Title: Bras!!
Post by: Julesp on September 26, 2010, 22:18:57 PM: For all the ladies who have lived here a while Does anyone know of a decent underwear shop here where you can by a bra by the cup size and prefably doesnt feel like cardboard?

Post by: Julesp on September 26, 2010, 22:35:32 PM: Also I can see all the views but no answers Think I may have got the attention of a few male members Or maybe like me the ladies here are looking for the same ;)

Post by: ovaciksarah on September 27, 2010, 07:39:31 AM: There is a great little underwear shop on the one way system, she doesn,t speak any english, but most of the bras are sold by cup size going up to DD and not expensive. Market ok unless you,re a bit more well endowed.

Post by: grizabella on September 27, 2010, 07:53:36 AM: The one way system near to the Lescon sports shop has all shapes and sizes and the girl speaks English.Probably the same shop as ovaciksarah has recommended but I've happened to go in when there's been an English speaking assistant.

Post by: kizkucuk on September 27, 2010, 15:01:03 PM: There's a girl in Calis who did the Knickers & Nibbles in Eyna last year - hers are good, sold by cup size including the larger ladies and very reasonably priced.
Title: Bras!!
Post by: Julesp on September 27, 2010, 15:21:56 PM: Hi all thanks
I missed the knickers and nibbles thing this year only saw the advert about 1 hour after the event closed
I Think I know the shop by lescon but havent been in Will look tomorrow I only seem to find B cups and very heavily padded or as stiff as card wherever Ive looked.

Post by: loz on September 27, 2010, 16:42:03 PM: I used to buy bras in Fethiye, it is near to Paspatur a side road off the oneway system (on the left, sorry my sense of direction is shot to pieces!), I think Fortis bank was on the corner, the side road leads up to the Fish market.
Stock carried is Triumph contessa etc. I suggest you measure yourself as their measure service is not very good.

Just found it on street map, sokak 96

Post by: Jacqui Harvey on September 30, 2010, 08:19:05 AM: Have you ladies in Turkey tried www.figleaves.com or Bravissimo who both do mail order and also both sell a good range of sizes from tiny to very large, padded and unpadded? Can recommend Figleaves who have really good sales and special offers.

Post by: chrisp on October 15, 2010, 16:25:10 PM: would go along with jacqui...try bravissimo if you are a lady of "good proportions". they are excellent. not sure about mail order outside uk, but there service here is next to none, brilliant.

Post by: Jacqui Harvey on October 15, 2010, 19:56:17 PM: Just to add to this Figleaves have an on-line sale at the moment.
