Thought I had bought sexy bras and they are not. Bigger boobs curse.

[orangeistheonlyfruit]

So I thought I would go and buy some new underwear that was a good fit and also 'sexy'. So bought curvy Kate bras in red and black and they fit great. I was excited for my husband to see me in the new bras. But after a moment of clarity I've realised my sexiest bra is one that I bought in la senza ages ago and that is half cup way too small.

I am a 30e. My new bras have thick awful straps and are full cup. Even in red looks like something women of a certain age would wear.

Really fed up. Sigh.

It's all right having a well fitting bra but what I think I'm going to take them back and just get some sexy stuff that doesn't fit at all but makes me feel good about myself.

And my new bras create all sorts of unflattering lumps and bumps! My old la senza one makes me look toned and smooth! No lumps and bumps at all!

Rant over. Sorry.

One of my friends is a bra fitter. I pointed at at a dinky little silk balconette style piece of gorgeousness and she just said "absolutely not. No chance."

I just want thin straps. But it isn't to be.

I'm a 28KK, I feel your pain

[KatharinaRosalie]

I'm bigger than you but I don't think I own a single full cup extra wide strap matronly bra. There's loads of choice nowadays - and don't go for wrong sizes, you will only get back ache.

My favourite brand is Fauve, very good quality but you can find great bargains. Those all come in your size www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2050601.m570.l1313.TR3.TRC0.A0.H0.Xfauve+30e.TRS0&_nkw=fauve+30e&_sacat=0

Am a 32e

Bought this recently in m&s and it is the sexiest most beautifulest bra I ha e owned I a very long time!! My boobs are bottom heavy though (in a good way)

I also have this Chantelle in white which am pretty pleased with too.

Worst thing is, most women are around a 32 E/F + but just don't realise it! They're often wearing the wrong size..happened to me, I thought I was a 34D, but turned out I was a 32F. Sadly that change made bra shopping near impossible for pretty bras.

[Mrs9C]

Drives me crazy sob

I'm an F cup, but not big boobed at all...why oh why oh why do they think I need a FULL cup and 'extra wide strap support' argh! so frustrating.

[GinIsIn]

Gorgeous at debenhams balcony bras are great - nice and uplifting, good shape under clothes, very appealing to the eye.... I love them! (32f normally. Can't find anything at all for my massive pregnancy 34h boobs )

Recently ordered a Victoria's secret 32dd bra and it's fantastic. Wonder bra also do a great strapless in a larger cup size that really supports.

[Catdogcat]

*fuller bust, not filler

[Catdogcat]

I'm a 30F and mid twenties so not quite ready for the fuller cup type bra just yet. I get some great bras and bikinis from ASOS filler bust range that still look really sexy without the huge straps etc.

[hollinhurst84]

Scantilly by curvy Kate does some lovely stuff? I googled and simply be have some reduced as well

[iKeepDancingintheDark]

The problem is - although as a 32E I can fit in a 34 or 36 back with a correspondingly smaller cup size - it gives me terrible backache and sore shoulders.

[EnquiringMingeWantsToKnow]

That must be so annoying. It's all very well having a limited range of bras if you actually do need specialist support for big boobs. But 30E is really not particularly big at all.

If none of Sorrel's links work for you you could just try on every pretty 32DD you can find, because there's a lot more choice in that size, and there's a decent chance that some of them will fit you especially and adjust the back size.

Might be worth trying John Lewis. Because they fit using the interventionist way they do stock their "normal" (YKWIM, the ones without heavy duty scaffolding) bras in a wider range of sizes for women who have small-medium breasts despite the D-G cup headline.

eg this dull but not over-engineered bra which they stock in a 30F.

[orangeistheonlyfruit]

Thanks natty love both of those!

[SorrelForbes]

TBH I don't own any Curvy Kate bras as they don't work on my shape at all!

I stick to Cleo and Ewa Michalak.

[singleandfabulous]

I got some gorgeous underwear from Victorias Secret. v similar to La Senza (thin straps/half cups/plunge etc..) Im a 32DD but can fit in a 34D or 36C too at a push & depending on style. I agree re Curvy Kate & Bravissimo - both so matronly.

[NattyGolfJerkin]

this is my Wonderbra one. I also have in ivory

I meant lepel not lejaby and this is the one I have. Really nice in RL

[orangeistheonlyfruit]

Sorrel lots of nice ones there - strangely enough my curvy Kate ones are plunge but honestly still hideous - out of your links the curvy Kate ones are my least favourite - it's good to know it's just that brand I don't like and it's not the entire world of bras!

[SorrelForbes]

I'm a 30GG/H and have loads of pretty and sexy bras but always stick to balconette and half cup styles. What about these?:

The Wonderbra ones I have are pretty padded though so can make big boobs (or relatively big boobs) look HUGE. I do have to think about what I wear with them, as I have a small frame but quite a large bust (proportionally).

[ProseccoBitch]

I'm a 32FF and have given up trying to find anything particularly sexy, but Freya come the closest.

[NattyGolfJerkin]

Wonderbra & lejaby make some nice cuts in e + cups. I have some sexier balconettes from them, I'm a 32E or F, depending on the make/bra/cut
