Did you get lingerie (or embarrassing gifts) at your bridal shower?

I need a 30 band. Or if a Polish line, a 70. 65 doesn't quite fit.

DDD is 6 steps up. I need 11-12 up. VS doesn't stock that at all.

Hailey, have you tried Tutti Rouge yet? They run snug in smaller bands so I can wear a 32. Some of their SS14 bras are £26 so not too expensive.

I will have to look that up, I am between a 28 and a 30 band depending on the bra so it's hard to find that AND large cup sizes!

They go from a 28 in all their bras I think, then up to HH cup at least. Most have to go up a band size and cup size - I'm an odd duck and only need to go up in band to a 32H in non padded and 32HH in padded and Lilana which is the one that runs a cup small. My Freya size is 30HH non padded and 30J padded. Better known as buy larger band and take sides in. Lilana however is awesome for a tight, close, pretty minimized shape if you need or like that.

They are uber girly if that's a like or dislike issue. Their strap sliders are adorable metal hearts! Plus, unlike the cheap cuteness of Cleo (HH boobs do not like 2 hooks, stupid design!), they are all 3 hooks as far as I know. Typical British design, shallow cups. Wires aren't too wide on me and are pretty firm to my comfort level. The straps are out kind of far, but that's the same issue as all lines I think. Hello, 30 band. Bring the straps in from my elbows.

Lottie has been the one failure on me, from their first line (or first I knew of in SS13), it's really pointy looking.

In my circle it's really common for the last gift to be lingerie from the MOB. It's never really scandalous though. Usually a silk nightgown, robe and slippers.

@HobokenBride2012, my extended family has a similar tradition. It wasn't the last gift I opened, but my mother did buy me lingerie. Like someone else said, it's a classic silk nightgown and robe. Surprisingly, I wasn't embarrassed (I'm REALLY shy and somewhat prudish), but there was a little confusion because some people misunderstood and thought it was from an aunt...

My BM suggested lingerie for the bachelorette but I shot down that idea. I just think nobody needs a visual of anyone's private time.
I was given wine instead; lots of wine!

I'm a big girl, so hopefully that will scare people away from trying to guess my size
