Joe Browns alternatives and a good bra

[HelenaGWells]

Oh wise style queens of mumsnet please help!

I have been living in Joe Browns tunic tops but I've found the quality is shite. A lot of them have split along the seems very quickly and you can't always sewn up properly due to the material. What I am wondering is if there is an alternative out there? Ideally around a similar price point? I bought the ones I have in the sale but I don't mind paying a little more if they will actually last. I love the style and designs just not the quality! I'm crap at fashion and don't have a clue where to start looking. I found Joe Browns by accident in a Simply Be sale.

I am also on the hunt for a decent bra. I just want something comfortable more than anything. I currently have about 6 different bras from various high street stores and NONE are comfortable. I've tried bra intervention and size up/down etc and I've just bought the closest one I could find and made do. I'm sick of it though and just want something comfortable. I'm a 36 DD/E so prefer something without ridiculous padding in it. I'm happy to pay a bit more if the things is actually comfortable to wear. I'm currently mostly living in my sports bra simply because it doesn't stab me in the tit when I move the wrong way.

Thank you in advance!
