Balconette bra for a 28D?

I prefer push up to push together, It looks better that way.

Any suggestions?.

Have you tried Brastop? They have a good ranges of sizes and styles. Also Bravissimo, although I haven't shopped with them personally.

I've looked but bras listed as balcony bras look more plunge to me.

I used to wear Lejaby or Lepel but they start at 30B and a 30 back gives me back ache. Who'd have thought norks this small could give so much discomfort.

If you prefer push together then you would ideally want a plunge style, whereas balconette lifts up more.

Can you maybe link to something you like (even if it's not available in anything resembling your size!) to give us a base line?

Push up needed, I've got perky boobs with plenty of padding up top so I'd like to emphasise that.

I like this but they start at 30B.

www.brastop.com/charnos-embrace-multiway-bra-blush. I used to wear this but they don't do my size.

Have you tried searching for half cups instead of balconettes? Balconettes are very variable - there's no definite description of what a balconette is and it seems to cover a huge spectrum!

Here are a few possibles

angie
Celene
rhea
ritzy
patsy - a bit plunging

I like the rhea. Maybe a half cup is the way to go.

I wish they'd use smaller busted models so you can imagine what it'd look like on.

I don't suppose small busted lingerie models are in demand though!.

Try searching bratabase for the name of the bra

www.bratabase.com/browse/masquerade/rhea-6121/

you can click on the size to see it on people in your size range

The bra band project is useful too

Fluffycloudland77 · 15/01/2015 22:02

That's better.

I googled half cup bras. Really wasn't expecting what came up Shock

Maybe a search term to put in to bra websites!
