Bras for big boobs and smallish back?

I'm desperate.. my only bra has now had its last (the underwire has broken).

When can I buy? I gave up when I tried to buy before Christmas, feeling like a freak of nature because I'm bigger than a DD.

I had a really bad fitting in Leia, so it put me off. I don't have a Bravissimo near me.

Have you tried calling bravissimo? Or using their online chat thing? I found they’re really helpful advising on fit over phone/ online. But really, you need to go in for a fitting if you can. There’s such variation between styles/ brands. I’ve had to completely change the style of bra I wear since I stopped bf and my boobs have changed shape, even though on paper I’m the same size as I was before kids.
(Ps also small back - I’m a 30f at the moment)

Can you,get to a Bravissimo for a fitting?

I'm a 27G according to boob or bust, but due to the face that size is not available anywhere have to wear a 28ff. I find I get the best fit at Boux Avenue, the band tends to be smaller than other makes.

I think I must be the only person that considers their 28E/F boobs to be minuscule - I seek out padding Blush

I personally buy loads on Amazon, same style in a few sizes, try on at home, and return the ones that don’t fit. I’ve had good luck with Panache and Lepel balcony and plunge bras. Bravissimo tried to send me off with the least flattering bra in the world (Fantasie Rebecca, boobs stuck somewhere in my armpits) whereas I’d like some forward projection please!

ruby I think it depends a lot on the shape of your boobs. My 30F boobs now look a lot smaller than they used to cos 2 pregnancies and b’feedig means I’ve lost a lot of my upper breast tissue (ie spaniel ears!) and now I need to wear a padded plunge style tshirt bra.

28g I prefare a soft cup and ideally something a bit sexier if I can. I buy alot of bras from asos. They do some lovely bralettes and bras in bigger cups. I also wear m&s soft bralette in a size 6 dd+ size which fits and supports well.

Yep Ruby, same here and similar size. I'm pear-shaped, which I think acts as a minimiser.
