I'm going to London for the summer, a couple-of-days city trip! I really love London; I've already been there around 5 times, but this will be my first time going on a Lingerie hunt! I'm already mapping out stores, and my wallet is already on the verge of crying.
My #1 stop is definitely Bravissimo, world renowned for their excellent fitting advice and probably the biggest stockist of DD+ brands on the London High Street. I don't know if I'll actually be able to get my own personal fitting experience, as they may be too busy (it's summer after all). But if I do: expect a review of it!
I'm also planning on checking out the high street department stores that stock DD+ brands: Debenhams, Selfridge's, House of Fraser, John Lewis, and Marks & Spencer. Selfridge's exclusively stocks Claudette, a much talked about brand, and I'd be interested in checking them out, but they start at 30" back, so tryin' and no buyin'.
I've already cooked up a wishlist of bras to try on by looking at online retailers, though I'll probably try on many more in person if I get the chance. Anyhoo, these are my top picks:

Cleo - Maddie![]()
I prefer seamless, moulded, padded bras, and Maddie fits this demand perfectly. I love the Bravissimo exclusive Floral colourway

What can I say? I'm a Deco addict. I'd love to try the new Flamingo out, and the Ashlee and Shape in my correct size.

Wishlist:
Tutti Rouge - Liliana
#1 bra on my wanted list ever since I saw the first reviews popping up. I love the colour, and the shape seems like it'll work well with my: a half padded balconette plunge with stretch lace.

Cleo - Marcie
She looks so cute, and I desperately need a soft cup that fits well. I'm also really interested in the upcoming black babydoll as well, so hopefully they'll fit the same.
Freya - Deco Ashlee, Flamingo & Shape Multiway Bra
What can I say? I'm a Deco addict. I'd love to try the new Flamingo out, and the Ashlee and Shape in my correct size.
Not sure where to find this one, but def. trying it on if I come across it. I've yet to have a push up bra with a small back, and this one is supposed to be very good.
Panache - Tango Balconette & Plunge
Two classics in the DD+ community, I'd love to try them out and see if they'll play nice with me.
Panache - Sports Bra.

| Also a Perfect Crop Top for upcoming King's Day |
Even small boobs need adequate support when practicing sports, and this one's said to be the best one around. It's also got a pretty look to it, which is always a plus in the land of functional yet boring sport bras.
I'll also be paying a visit to Victoria's Secret on Bond Street, and perhaps subject myself to a fitting. For science of course, as we all know their fitting methods are bogus, stubbornly holding on to +4/+5, and finding out your band size by measuring you over the bust? How logical, cough cough.
I'm absolutely stoked to be going to London, and hopefully I'll conquer myself a new bra wardrobe; or at least enough info to buy them when they're going on sale :)
