10 of the best places in Dublin to buy bras
Tom Hickmore Tom Hickmore
BRAS ARE ARGUABLY the worst item of clothing to shop for.
It goes (in descending order of hellishness):
3. Tights
2. Jeans
1. Bras.
Navigating the wide range of sizes, shapes, price brackets and supermammies in fitting rooms is daunting, dreaded and stressful for so many women.
Never mind the ever present fear that the underwire is going to tear the innards out of your washing machine when you get home.
We’ve asked ladies of all shapes and sizes for their experiences and recommendations for tracking down the perfect over-the-shoulder boulder holder in the city centre.
Debenhams
Debenhams gets a thumbs up for both range and nice staff. One shopper told us:
Intimate Lingerie, just off Tara Street
Pauline from Intimate Lingerie is a legend on the Irish bra scene, with underwear actually made to measure.
They also carry the likes of Fantasie, Gossard, Panache, Berlie, Freya, Wonderbra and have a fitting service for all of the products.
You’ll probably need to make an appointment in advance, because Pauline is a busy lady.
Nesster Nesster
Arnotts
A wide range of brands (mostly the pricier end, it must be said) but with a good fitting service and a general sense of calm, which is very important when buying bras.
Peaches and Cream on South Anne Street
A ringing endorsement.
Marks and Spencer
Marks and Spencer does a dazzling array of bras in a wide range of shapes and sizes, and they provide a fitting service (although you might need to make an appointment on busy days).
The RSH range gets a thumbs up too:
Nesster Nesster
House of Fraser
We’re reliably informed that there are a couple of very nice ‘supermammy’ types there ready to help with sizing and fitting.
You see, the concern with shops like House of Fraser and Arnotts is often:
But finding someone who can fit you properly and actually investing in a couple of pieces that will last and feel comfortable is worth the time and money.
Brown Thomas
Similarly Brown Thomas carries a wide range of higher end bras. They also have a fitting service and will order in anything they don’t have in your size. Buying bras is stressful enough, you might as well treat yourself.

Penneys
Penneys have recently started stocking larger cup sizes which are definitely worth a look if you’re looking for a lower price range.
Those who can buy the smaller sizes can almost always find something to suit them. You might be best to go on a Tuesduy morning when there’s nobody there, and browse in peace.
