Hi
I popped into Debenhams today as they have some great discounts on bras in their sale. Trouble is there were bloody hundreds of them and I really don't know what style to go for.
I want a t-shirt bra so no patterns or lace just smooth. The ones I have from M&S are moulded cups so they do the job but I feel they make my boobs look even bigger and as I'm petite I feel self conscious of them at work.
Are all t-shirt bras moulded?
The others I found have padding in but I don't need any extra of that!
I did buy a pretty Fantasie bra in the sale as it it was so comfy, but it is very thin material so I imagine it could be a bit nipple revealing on a breezy day!

What should I be aiming for? I'd like to make the trying on part as swift as possible as it 's no fun for my lively 15 month old who was trying to escape under changing room door whilst I was braless!!

Have you been on the bra threads

If not - deffo worth giving your measurements and Statiscallychallenged et al will give you which bra size to go for. - I went from a 38c to 36 ff Shock

She will also advise on all the different styles etc and which shop is the best place to get them from etc.

Well worth it Smile

if you dont want moulded but are worried about nipple revealage, then you have to compromise and maybe have something panelled with a less stretchy fabric than the thin smooth fabric of a tshirt bra, or maybe double lined?

My favourite 'no show' bras are the Cleo Juna and the Panache Idina balconette styles. The formers
Had a bit of trim at the top of the cup and the latter is a sort of lace material but is still smooth. I can't wear moulded bras at all and find these two perfect for everyday/work.
