I've lost weight and just been into Bravissimo for some new bras, but my boobs seem to have gone all bottom heavy and I struggled to find something to fit and give me the shape/look I like under clothes. I bought a cleo maddie in black, but it doesn't come in nude, so was wondering if the experts here could suggest an alternative but similar style? The bright pink is nice but not very practical. TIA

Congratulations on your weight loss! I was just talking to one of the other bra ladies about the weight loss bottom heavy boob syndrome earlier today.

My own experience of this

Thank you! Yes soft and dropped is definitely where we are at the moment. I did try the Juna, the cup fitted ok but the lace stood away from me. I got a panache envy in nude which fits well and the shape is ok but it's not my ideal because I really don't like seams. I'm surprised to hear the maddie is considered wide, loads I tried on I felt made me 'sidey' rather than up front (I was in there for ages). Thanks for the link, I will wear the black one for a couple of wears and then maybe order it it's comfy.

I think the difference between the others might be the shape in the centre - from what I remember when I tried Maddie the cups are fairly wide and shallow, but the 'peak' of the cups is more towards the centre than others. So Freya bras, for example, make my breasts point sideways - which Cleo don't. The Panache Envy is fairly wide as well, but again it's the width of the wires.

It's common for the Juna lace to stand out - a lot of people tuck it in.

Thanks for your help. I've ordered a Juna to try again at home and also a porcelain balconette, the porcelain plunge was my favourite before but it didn't work today.

Bottom heavy boobs can, erm, sink in some plunges IME - they kind of fall to the bottom! There is also a Cleo Neve which is a moulded plunge and comes in nude - it seems to work for some people where others don't/

That is exactly what happened Blush I was really looking forward to it, turned out to be a horror show!

I was in Bravissimo this afternoon (weight loss and seriously toned up and in a 28G now), and I thought the Juna was really coming up more like a plunge style than a half cup. I ended up buying the Patsy in marshmallow, which as I don't wear white will be fine. It was a really nice shape for my bottom heavy norks
