> Went into bra department this morning, what an amazing and so helpful service I got from Kate. She spent so much time and patience finding me a bra that fitted. I tried on at least 20-30 bras as i have always found it hard to get a bra that fits. And we finally found the perfect bra. Thanks Kate, farmers Riccarton, you are the best and so helpful., Helen Simpkins, 3 months ago
