Madame Foners

Before there was Bravissimo, there was Foner’s. If you ever want a true lingerie experience (the girls in Bravissimo don’t really care about your boob issues, they’re just there to get paid) this is where you will find yourself.
Beware of Trudy. A small older woman, she is vicious in the changing rooms and hoists your bras left right and centre to get the perfect bosom. She knows her trade though — she will look at you and in an instant tell you what’s wrong with the bra you’re wearing and what size you should be wearing.
Recently I was in there to get some Spanx (if you don’t know what I’m talking about, think Bridget Jones knickers with extra support). I ended up chatting about the wonders of Bravissimo, and how it was a pity they didn’t stock the same girly bras. To my surprise, they hauled out several catalogues and explained how their pricing was far more competitive than Bravissimo, but that no one bothered to ask. Considering I pay an average of £30 for a Bravissimo bra, I think I’ll be frequenting Foner’s once more to save my pennies. I’ll just have to keep my arms crossed over my chest and avoid eye contact with Trudy.
