I don't think they have quite closed yet - my local one just has "closing down" signs in the window - I went in at the weekend and stocked up.....all in the sale too!0
-
simply yours are good - online only, but really big range.
and yes to figleaves.
I'm getting so sad at all the closing shops. We've got to dig out of this hole soon. Thorntons closed on our high street last week. (They're shutting branches all over the place.)0 -
Debenhams I love - both instore and online. :-)0

La Senza bras always really hurt me even after i got measured several times, i must have a strange shaped body, the bras always dug in under my arms and made me bleed i will miss La Senza though because i LOVE the pjs they sell in there.0
-
I go to Boux Avenue now - they have a fab range and good sizes0
-
M&S everytime. But I am a regular size (36D) so maybe that makes a difference. I didn't like the range at La Senza, when I went in just before Christmas they had loads of dowdy black/white and cream, and loads of OTT burlesque-y stuff but nothing in the middle - pretty but functional that I wanted. I did like their 'jamas though and got 2 lovely sets for Christmas!0

It definitely helps being a regular size. M&S is hopeless for me.0 -
I am going there lunch time to stock up on some kecks and slippers0

Great.. NOT! I'm a 32E and I could never find anywhere that stocked my size apart from La Senza. Also the other shops are generally either very overpriced, or not as pretty as La Senza. I'm seriously so annoyed, hopefully after I lose weight I'll be down to a regular bra size so I can buy from Asda hahah!0

32E!!! If I had a chest that good, I wouldn't wear a bra or a top! :-)0 -
Do you know when they are actually closing the stores? I have a gift voucher I still need to use there.0

Poo, I bought a really good bra from there a couple of weeks ago!0

I was going to say! I haven't been a 32E since I was 18. If only! Try being a 28FF sometime!
Debenhams do loads in a 32 E, as does John Lewis. Check them out. There are currently hundreds in that size on Brastop too. It's not that unusual a size.0 -

definitely look at the online sellers mentioned. simplyyours certainly do that size. as others have said, it's not that unusual. (and actually my local asda do, in fact, stock a 32 E)
I, on the other hand, have some trouble finding homes for my GG / H cups. :-)0 -

I feel your pain! I was a 32JJ at one point after having my first baby, and a 30HH after my second. It was pretty much impossible to buy anything that fitted at all. I mostly lived in a dressing gown for the first 7 months of both their lives!0 -
Both stores in Belfast closed down on Sunday 8th January. I have been on the website and the message is:
"La Senza Ltd in administration ("the Company")

I know there are other places but I have always shopped in La Senza for my lingerie ever since I can remember.
Also, they were the only place I could find that sold PJ's in my leg length (34in inside) that didn't shrink in the wash.
I'm a 38E so I imagine it shouldn't be too difficult to purchase them elsewhere.
I also received loads of gift vouchers for there for Christmas. I feel bad for the people that bought them for me. Total waste of money.0 -
Cant say I rated them all that much recently. They used to be good but have gone down hill in quality I'd thought. Not that I wear them, but the bra's felt scratchy.
That said, I've never had to shop for a bra larger than 36DD, so I wasn't aware they were good for a full range of sizes. I quite like the smaller boutiques myself and M&S and Debenhams can have quite nice looking sets now and again.0 -
The La Senza at White Rose shopping centre in Leeds was still open last week when i went past. Might be worth ringing round to see if there's one still open near you if you have vouchers/returns or a desperate need to stock up!0
-
OMG!! I didn't realise they had actually shut down the website now
I might cry!0
