La Senza has closed down ladies!!!!

Not just the stores either but online!

Where am I going to get my lingerie and jimmies from now?

I know there are other stores but La Senza was my friend, I was known personally in there and the knew the staff personally too.

:cry: :brokenheart: :cry: :noway:

    La Senza were rubbish! They didn't even sell my size.

    Bravissimo FTW!

    Was just about to suggest Bravissimo. I never got on with La Senza either ... my bra size was always on sale in black/white/cream ... never the lively colours that other sizes get. :smile:

    Wow...I knew they were in trouble but I though they were on a bail out.

    M&S every time for me...bar once or twice.

    M&S and house of fraiser and debenhams usually has a good underwear department at about the same price range as la senza I think. Also I think they do free bra sizings which is great because I REALLY need to get round to going and doing that.

    Debenhams are really good if you have a 30 plus back. No good for me as they don't stock 28s at all, but for most people there's a huge range.

    Guh I know how you feel, I was gutted when I heard that they were shutting down. I know that people are suggesting other (good) places to get underwear, it's not underwear I'm worried about it's bras. I have an impossible bra size (tiny ribs huge tatas) and La Senza were the only place (includign anne summer, topshop, m&s etc) that actually stocked my size, and if they didn't have it they'd order it in for me. The only other "local" shop I can now get bra's from is an hour drive from where I live =_= Looks like I'm going to have to take up internet shopping for them.

    I've never found anything that fits or is flattering in LS, or indeed M&S (excpet knickers, obviously!). I rely on my local department store where expert ladies size me by sight and bring my dozens of bras to try to my specifications!

    BBC website suggests they have been bought and 60 stores will still remain so you might be in luck. Otherwise M&S or bravissimo are the way to go

    Honestly, I am a 28 FF so I know all about that problem. La Senza didn't do anything that fitted me for this reason. Bravissimo and Bra Stop both do a massive range of sizes, from 28-38 back and D-H in cup size.

    I like M&S and BHS....... have never used Bravissimo but I did look on the website once and they have some nice stuff. I like to go and try them on though and hate having to return mail order clothes so I'd rather go in store somewhere. Even though I know my size, I find that a lot of bras either don't give me enough support or else they make me look as though I have four breasts..... nice look..... not!
