Best bra for empty norks?

Breastfeeding has destroyed my boobs :(

Pretty sure I'm a 36G (measured and mn interventioned) and am currently desperate for new bras. I have one which semi fits, a bravissimo Melrose in 38F.

I've just rejected this one www.figleaves.com/uk/product/FRA-000818/Freya-Instinct-Underwired-Plunge-Balcony-Bra/?size=36G&colour=Pinks as it had far too much excess fabric at the too of my boobs. Band and wires sat nicely though.

Any recommendations? Cheap and cheerful if possible!

plunge is not so great on empty boobs, what about some half-cups? Fauves are my favourites, like this www.brastop.com/fauve-grace-padded-half-cup-pea-sweet-pea

(and my eyes, the bra on figleaves is way too small for the model)

Yes, I thought that, the wires aren't anywhere near flat on her chest. Thanks, will check that link

I agree that half cups are the way to go. Theres a Patsy in your size on ebay atm which is a nice shape

Not too keen on padded, they make my boobs look massive
That Elle McPherson one is nice but doesn't do my size

Might these work?

Sorry to interrupt but may I please ask about the debenhams bras? If the band size is small do you go up a size but keep same cup size? I was measured 28G at bravado but finding the band tight and it leaves red marks by end of the day.

HazleNutt · 28/04/2015 09:48

Normally if the cups fit fine, but just the band is tight, you would go down in cup if you go up in back. in your case, 28G has same cup volume as 30FF, so if cups fit fine, I would try that. Unfortunately I don't know how if Debenhams cups are true to size.

Thanks Hazle will try that.

slithytove · 28/04/2015 13:23

Try the band back to front first to see if it's right. Then move on to trial and error with the cups.
