Bra for saggy sad boobs please...

Hi following the bra intervention threads on here i seem to be a 32dd.
I have bought a few bras in this size and while they do fit around the band the top of the cups are always empty and gaping. I've tried going down a cupsize but that's just too small. The issue is that following breastfeeding two bubbas in quick succession I now have hanging pendulous sad sacks, where there was once fullness up top there is just empty chest space where they've dropped down.
It's most depressing, I thought I'd made progress with the size and bought a few bras but they're all wrong up top.
What style should I be going for to avoid the gaping top of bra? Also I have scoliosis which is quite pronounced, I'm not sure if this has say affect on sizing or fit other than one should of everything always slips down!
Thanks in anticipation!

OK, bras that I know have worked for people with similar shaped breasts include the Lepel Fiore and Constance (the half cup and the plunge), the Cleo Juna and the Cleo Lucy.

I'm sure Stats will be along shortly with more suggestions.

I have tiny sad and saggy boobs and find the only bras that work for me to be balconette style.

HTH

I'm watching this with interest as I have sad saggy boobs as I'm still bf. I hoped that once I stop the fullness at the top would return but obviously not Sad

Balconettes ate generally the best style post deflation as they don't have a tall top section to gape! Reasonable options -dependent on the rest of your breast shape -are Freya patsy half cup, bravissimo half cups, bravissimo alana, bravissimo pretty as a pin up (full cup but quite closed top section), brav dotty spot, curvy Kate tease me/thrill me /entice /ritzy etc, Cleo juna and maddie, fauve half cups

Wow thanks for all the suggestions, they should keep me busy!
I had a good long run of pertness I guess all good things come to an end...

jaded - sounds like we could be boob twins! Smile Really wish I'd taken pre-DC photos of my previously full and pert boobies!

stuckindamiddle hey boob twin! I wish I'd taken pics too, and pics of them mahoosive before the deflations, it's amazing how much milk a breast can hold, the size they can stretch to is phenomenal until they don't spring back after!

The Alana bra at bravissimo is excellent IMO

Alana is fab-it cam gape if you are very empty at the top but it works for a lot of bottom heavy boobs. I love the lift.
