bra question

Bit embarrassing...

I wear a 32gg/h depending on style. Most recent purchase is panache envy in 32h and the fit is good under clothes. But! It's not sexy. Even my nicer bras are not that sexy. Just wondering if there are any recommendations for something a little less covering, something a guy could slide his hand inside rather than needing two hands (recent very awkward experience!) - was wearing a cleo bra at the time.

I'm a similar size...I understand!

For, erm, ease of hand sliding then a plunge is a more friendly shape. What sort of shape are your breasts? Fuller on top or bottom? Wide or narrow root?

I'm not sure. I have seen a couple of guides previously and will have a look later and try and figure it out, am at work right now!

I'll have a look at some plunge bras too, we have an ok bravissimo in town so might pop in when I get a chance.

Thanks for the empathy! The guy was lovely but it wasn't exactly a movie moment. Well, maybe a slapstick Blush

The Envy (which I've tried) tends to suit bottom heavy-ish and wide-ish breasts IME. Cleo vary - which bra was it?

Bravissimo do some nice plunges. I suspect you might get on with the Satine which they do in lots of colours and is simple but quite sexy. I think in general something lightly padded is slightly easier as the bra, erm, stands on it's own a little. Whereas an unpadded cleo will be reshaping itself as you're trying to lift the bugger and the edge isn't as obvious IYSWIM?

Whoever said big boobs are sexy had never had to contend with big bras!

Haha, you're so right! Getting the things out of the bloody bra is a nightmare! The envy is great under work clothes, I got fitted again recently and bought that and the tango, which I keep buying but actually dislike intensely - must have been the best of a bad bunch for nude bras at one point or something. Went back and swapped the tango for another envy in a different colour.

The cleo one was the marcie. I'll have a look at the satine now, thanks!

That makes sense, the Marcie is the wider of the non padded Cleos.

I suspect you would get on ok with the Ewa Michalak CHP cut, and possibly the S too. for example chp elegance, chp kabaretka, s nostalgia

I think you might find their pl (plunge) cut a bit narrow for everyday - but if you want to knock his eyes out the cleavage these produce is awesome Grin
