Bra for bigger chests

42 replies

Where do you all buy your bra’s? I’ve tried M&S, supermarkets, Ann summers. None are comfy and supportive for a large chest. I have been looking for wider straps and side support, I wanted to ask here before trying online companies.

thanks in advance

Another one here for Bravissimo/independent bra shop.

HRTQueen · 24/10/2025 21:18

I would go and get measured in an independent shop (if you live in or close to London I know a few just send me a message)

they will find the right fitting bra for your shape. I have a small back and very large bust some bra makes in my size do not fit correctly at all and other like a glove

it’s really important especially with a larger bust to wear the right fitting bra

and M&S bras are made by different manufacturers so one style may suit you another not so much

Bravissimo. The Millie bra is so comfy

Another vote for bravissimo. However, once you find a style and size you love, use Vinted.

Bravissimo

The main issue with comfort is getting the right size, at least 85% of women are wearing the wrong size so I’d start there. Go to Bravissimo or measure using this calculator and read the bra fitting guides https://www.booborbust.com Once you know how a bra should fit it’s easier to find ones to fit.

I get all my bras in the sale on Brastop, but I’m good at fitting myself.

If, like me, you are fed up with bloody underwires try online company Body & Bra. I love their comfortable molded bras. Give plenty of support for my GGs.

Elomi and Panache are my go-to's.

MrsMoastyToasty · 24/10/2025 19:54

Go to an independent retailer. I know of one if you're near Bristol.

Titasaducksarse · 24/10/2025 19:48

Panache

Seeline · 24/10/2025 19:47

Elomi bras on line or via Brastop website.

OompaLoofah · 24/10/2025 19:46

Bravissimo or Brastop.com usually have a great selection for larger sizes. Flirtelle and fantasy are my go to as they go to quite a large cup size.

NancyJoan · 24/10/2025 19:44

Bravissimo, Brastop, John Lewis. Brands of choice are Fantasie, Panache and Bravissimo own brand.

Look for Fantasie brand; they are really excellent and suit many larger sizes.

I always buy from bravissimo - online - and find that fantasie dont have enough support for me

Bravissimo if you're looking for a shop? What size are you?

Icepop79 · 24/10/2025 19:35

Bravissimo. If you’re lucky enough to have one near you, their measuring is impeccable. I haven’t bought a bra from anywhere else in 15 years.
