Bra suggestions

Sorry I know it's about the thousandth time someone's asked me but I need a couple of new bras and the JL website never has my size in alternative colours of what I have (if that makes sense)

I currently wear JL Sophia, bravissimo panache and I have a CK t shirt bra which is fab and one other but I don't know the name.

So if these fit me nicely (was fitted properly at JL) what others are similar which might also fit well.

Which panache bras do you wear? Normally people who suit panache struggle with Curvy Kate and vica versa so it's unusual for both to fit well.

It was just on the label Blush it was jut a plain black one from bravissimo I suppose it is closer to a t shirt style one more than anything else. Nothing fancy just a plain black one.

Panache porcelain? linky

There should be a code on the label.

Basically, normally curvy kate and panache are very different. Curvy kate have very wide wires and shallower cups, whereas panache tend to be narrower, deeper cups and much longer wires. What sort of shape do you think your breasts are? Fuller on top, or bottom? Close together, or far apart? Is the root of each breast narrow, or relatively wide (i.e. under your arm a bit), are they quite soft or firm?

What size do you wear?

Gileswithachainsaw · 21/04/2014 12:17

Yes that's the bra!!

I'm fuller underneath, quite wide fairly soft and I'd say close together too.

36D

Can I just check, what do you measure under your bust? John Lewis are normally ok for fitting but 36D is a really common "misfit" size :)

I'm surprised that panache works if you are wide rooted, but T -shirt bras can be a whole law unto themselves Grin. The best brands for wider breasts are curvy kate, freya, fantasie, and some bravissimo branded bras. You might also like the Cleo Juna and Maddie. When you are fuller on the bottom, balconette styles tend to work better than plunges as in plunges you'll probably find you get gaping at the top

Definitely 36 :) and cup size is perfect too! She was very good!!!

I'll look at the brands you have suggested the. As I know they can all e different and I can't be bothered with sending back all the time :)

I'm worried I've said wrong now about the panache

I have this one in a different colour and it's a really good fit does that make more sense?
