Alternatives to bravimisso starburst

Fairly new to this correct size bra revolution, my bravimisso starburst 38G has just popped an underwire :-( I have been wearing it almost constantly other than for washing since I got it! I love the style because the underwriting stops lower between my boobs so it actually lies flat, other styles where the underwriting comes higher only fit flush when I push the wiring in, think my boobs are just the wrong shape for them as they fit perfectly otherwise and I was fitted for them in Bravimisso. They no longer do the starburst, so have bought a couple from them which claim to be the same design, but wondered if anyone know of other brands which did something similar and whether they would be comparable in size, but a bit cheaper!?

I have very close set boobs and it is problematic. I can't wear most plunges because they come too high so the ends stab my boobs - I end up wearing bras that are much much higher in the middle so that they come over. Not perfect but better than being stabbed!

I can get away with the Bravissimo Satine and the Freya Deco, and I also get on extremely well with the Ewa Michalak S and SM styles - they are very narrow in the centre, I think they actually cross the ends of the wires over. My other go to bras just now are the unpadded cleos (marcie, melissa, meg) which whilst tall are quite narrow and I can manage to position my boobs out of the way. And no stabbing, always a bonus.

Bravissimo have a new starburst based bra out www.bravissimo.com/products/lingerie/sensational-sets/check-mate-bra/multi-check/ln183muc/?show=all&new=true

Also worth looking for the Freya Lauren plunge and the freya retro basic plunge (hard to find now)

Thanks, have bought the bravimisso ones, but at nearly £30 a pop I would love something similar but cheaper!

How long have you had the bra? If less than 6 months they will replace/exchange it

Even if I haven't got the receipt and machine washed it? (I.e. didn't follow the care label!)

Keep an eye on eBay they sometimes have bravissimo own brand stuff on there.
