I have one I got in Bravissimo and it makes my tits look nice but.. prominent.
and I dont want them any more prominent than they need to be.

I think it is this one www.bravissimo.com/products/lingerie/t-shirt-bras/smoothing-moulded-balconette-bra/nude/fa14nu/?brand=fantasie&level=1

any other tips?

thats quite full cuppy - does that squish them down a bit?

I had have the Rebecca bra. I don't like it much, the uplift isn't great, I wasn't keen on the shape, I just don't like it. But I do know others do. Bear in mind I have rather bottom heavy soft (oh dear) boobs. Currently wearing a Debenhams one which isn't bad but I am 'out there' in v fitted tops. Other clothes are fine, hoicks them up quite well.

you make your boobs sound so NICE lurkers!

Does it have to be moulded? I've never found a moulded bra that fit that well and didn't make big norks even bigger.

I know Blush Grin, but facts is facts.

If you find this bra you seek, will you let me know. The perfect bra is very elusive.

I have a triumph magic wire it's very good. New on the market so I thought I'd give it a go and I'm happy I did.

Twinklestein · 07/09/2014 21:19

Well-fitting underwired should do the job shape & niplage wise...

lurkingaround · 07/09/2014 21:31

Just had a quick gawk at Triumph magic wire. The smallest is a 32. Ffs. Angry.

Have you tried Marie Jo? I think the one I'm thinking of is called Avero. Expensive, but insanely comfortable and very pretty.

SorrelForbes · 08/09/2014 07:36

Try the Cleo Juna. Slightly padded which helps avoid the nipper issue but not moulded so doesn't add inches.

beccajoh · 08/09/2014 07:40

The Rebecca made me look HUUUUUUUGE. Dislike! There's bras out there that have a bit of padding (not so much it makes you bigger) but aren't moulded. Names escape me right at the moment.

AggressiveBunting · 08/09/2014 07:44

I've got an Empreinte one which is great (guaranteed manufactured pertness), but I'm only a C cup, so maybe not the best person to advise you.

lordnoobson · 08/09/2014 08:21

Thanks. There's a good review of the juna on "bras I hate" blog

SorrelForbes · 08/09/2014 08:34

If you get on with the Juna, you could try the Cleo Marcie. It isn't padded but the seams are placed quite well for hiding nipples.

HazleNutt · 08/09/2014 09:09

I agree that Rebecca does not have much uplift, that's why I wear it when I don't want my boobs to be so prominent.

lordnoobson · 08/09/2014 09:19

oh i cant do seams. I am nude bra afficionado. Too long teaching teenage boys!

The Rebecca is the most comfortable bra I've ever worn but probably also the least flattering! I've got a Bravissimo Purity moulded bra and it flattens me slightly and gives me a very round shape but, to be honest, I don't really like it. It might be worth a try though.

I tried the Juna but it looked awful on me and gave me square boobs!

I think I'm giving up on moulded bras and sticking to my Bravissimo balconettes and wearing a cardigan or jacket in the cold weather!

yazzy85 · 08/09/2014 10:38

I'm finding the debenhams gorgeous brand molded bras really good

lordnoobson · 08/09/2014 11:23

thanks both.

this one?

I tried that Debenhams bra and I didn't like it - it's not moulded but is double layered and the layers wrinkled although the bra felt as though it was the right size. I also didn't like the shiny fabric.

lurkingaround · 08/09/2014 12:29

This is the one I have. But tbh I think it's trial and error as to what suits in Debenhams.
