Help me find a bra for my norks after 4 DC's!

Since having 4 children my breasts are still quite reasonably sized (I'm around a 32E 'ish) but they've lost their 'fullness' at the top and have dropped - totally expected for my age too. I live in fitted smooth tops so need a nude, smooth t-shirt bra, also with thickness to the cups (not necessarily padding as that would make me look huge) but to disguise nipples showing in cool weather!

I've previously treated myself to fittings and bras at Rigby and Peller but it's just too expensive at the moment. I've tried these on from Next but all they do is give me 4 boobs due to where the line of the cup cuts across my breast.

these just pushed my breasts up but as they'e not firm enough any more the resulting bulge just wobbles when I walk. Eeeuugh!!! Same happened with the wonderbra.

Any ideas???

Firstly, are you sure about your size? 4 boobs and bulging sounds like the size is off as well as the style. Can you measure as described here please:;

Hi Statistically I'm 31 around the band and 39 around the breasts.

A 32E would be within range, but on those measurements I would normally suggest a 30F/FF and 32E/F. It sounds like you need more cup so I would try 32F and 30FF to start. Style wise, you need more of a balconette or half cup as anything too tall will gape - it's very common post baby to lose top fullness. Unfortunately many/most moulded and totally seam free bras are also plunges which don't work well on bottom heavy soft breasts - as you've found they gape at the top and you fall out the middle Grin

Cleo Juna is fairly smooth but not totally, as is Panache Idina balconette. There is a freya deco half cup which might work but i wouldn't thing the regular shape will. Bravissimo own brand do some lovely half cups, and freya patsy half cup is nice too. The smoothness is going to be the tough bit but I would suggest trying to sort out size and shape first.

Blimey, can you see me from where you're sitting Statistically Shock, you've described my breasts perfectly - bottom heavy and soft Grin

Thanks for the suggestions, I'll start googling now!
