Burrell, once I found a bra that fit, I only ordered "refills" online and have never regreted it.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Well, it doesn't fit well enough to be my one true bra, I'm afraid. I can't wear it with low cut tops, for instance. But right now I'm down to that one, an old Calvin Klein 34C, and an random bra from Europe, maker and size unknown. 3 bras. That's not right.

No, that's not. You're right.
I've been reduced to One True Bra and many, many International Concepts tanks in different colors.

Speaking of M&S, I was sooooo upset when I returned home from London and found that they don't ship overseas.
This. Oh dear lord in heaven, this is me. My One True Bra came from M&S (er, about six years ago, but I've now lost enough weight that I fit back into them). One of my saved searches for eBay is for M&S bras in my size.
I'm also kinda miffed that TopShop doesn't ship to the States, because I keep seeing cute things from them in issues of UK Vogue.

Jilli, does M&S still carry the exact bra? My friends there could certainly pick some up and ship them no problemo. They've offered the same for me, but what I want/need aren't staple items - I need to shop, shop and drop.

Nope. They carry ones that are similar, tho'.

Thank you for offering! I have some friends in the UK who have made me the same offer. I'm also cherishing these faint hopes that we'll go to the UK in the next year or so.

Noted. And hope they're not too faint. :)

...Or why not try Thailand?
We even have a teeny tiny M&S around the corner from my workplace!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Did they ever restock the pies near you ita?
Yes they did! And you know what? Santa Monica, at least the bit of it I visit, has three British stores. I still end up in King's Head for convenience, but there's a bigger store at 15th and Wilshire which has videos too.
My VS sadness is that I have some really comfy no VPL bikini-style panties that are almost as invisible as advertised. I go into the store, and I can't find them (I admit, I never last long, even when shopping for panties and therefore avoiding the women who tell me I'm not the bra size I say, despite wearing one of their own (okay, this is stored pre-Wacoal trauma, but it cut deep) in that exact size, and it fitting perfectly), and it's impossible for me to tell from the web site if they even sell them anymore.
They're so freaking comfortable! I want all my panties to be them.
