Freya bras - bra experts!

I've been reading the bra threads with interest and wondered if one of you bra experts could help me. I am a 28 back (measure just under 28 inches). Panache and Cleo bras don't fit me at all, but Freya and Bravissimo's own seem to, and I went to Bravissimo today but the only bra they had in either of those makes in my size was the Freya Piper - here Freya Piper
if that link works.

It looks fab but I now need more bras and hence need to order on-line. Can anyone recommend similar shaped bras that I could order to try? Thank you!

"I wonder if many women are wearing too large back sizes"

No need to wonder, they are. I'm sure people are sick of me already, showing up on every thread where somone claims to be size 8 and in 36 bra or similar with my "Are you really sure? Have you measured yourself recently??" Grin but more often than not the poster in question actually are in a wrong size.

I went to Debenhams yesterday and they had virtually nothing in a 28 back (and actually not much in a 30 either). This is a big Debenhams store too.

Online, I couldnt find a plain neutral Freya in my size for the bargainsome prices I've seen for other makes/certain colourways. I eventually found two for around £20 each, which isn't great but it is cheaper than this year's names. Good idea to check out the sales on time!

It does strike me as odd, though, that I have to go online when I'm really not that weird a shape/size. Even Bravissimo, which had loads of bras in my size, didn't have a plain nude/white one in my size in stock - they had loads of very hideous lurid ones, plus seemingly endless stocks of Panache which didn't fit.
