I refuse to pay top prices for excellent berlei bras. Often, I get told that if you buy a bra, then the other bra you buy is free. So a $54.95 bra price is halved. I can do better! As a budget conscious consumer, I wish to pay no more than $15.00 per item. So, today, I conducted an extensive search to receive quality at a fraction of retail price.

I like letting people know that excellent places to purchase items exist in Melbourne and should be supported.

As a bulk buyer, I am not into updating every season. I choose the very best quality bras, which last for a while and free like I do not have a bra on. Yet, I know I am firmly supported.

Please accept these bras may be discontinued, but the quality is exactly the same as the more fashionable styles. I noticed a lot of bras within the range of 10 - 18 in single (a - e) and doubles in (a-d).

I picked up three black Berlei Soft Touch Underwire bras which were retailed for $49.95, marked down to $35.00, then discounted further to just to $10.00. These items were located in the $10 - 15.00 bras section. They are extremely comfortable. I spotted the Berlei full figure UW Body Blush (pink) bras normally retailed for $59.95 which were reduced to $15.00 was is a steal. Therefore, when you enter the large building I always ask the staff where the $10-$15 bras are? I am a big girl my bra size ranges from 16DD for stretchy bras to 18E. You will need to try the bras in their changing room because each cut differs.

The assistant was extremely helpful and fitted me. She even adjusted all my bra straps. She gave me a hint to sew under the buckle of the adjusted bra straps, so they would not move.

I asked her if there any long sleeved thermo tops, because I wanted to put something under my clothes so I did not want catch the flu. I was shown to these thin V neck lace, long tops and they looked great. I had to double check to see if they did make you warmer, and I am wearing it now. Yes, I definitely feel warmer in my very cold house. I bought my Jockey thermals for only $10.00 and normally retail for $39.95. They did come in black and white and in long and short sleeves. My long sleeve white thermo goes slightly past my hips.

My purchase incorporated 6 x Berlei bras for $75 and 2 x long sleeved Jockey Thermo tops (Luxi in Soft Cotton) which were black and white for $20. So instead of paying the retail price of $408.10, I only paid $95.00. I have to say this is the only place I go for these types of items.

Approximate cost: $95.00
