32 E. What bra would you recommend?

I went bra shopping yesterday after finally admitting my old bra's were both ill fitting and falling apart. After trying on what feels like thousands, I've come to the conclusion that I'm a 32E at the moment and also that this doesn't seem to readily exist in shops...

Can you recommend one/where I could get one from? Price is not such an issue as my grandma offered to pay for it, because anything other than cheap is out of my budget. I suit balcony one's best, I'm much fuller at the bottom than the top.

Help! After 2.5 hours yesterday, I came away with a not very well fitting but cheap one in 32DD. I don't want to go up to 34 because they feel far too loose, I'm 31 inches around my ribs as it is.

Freya. I've worn them for the last 10 years and always find them to be fab.

Fantasie with aide support. Best bras ever (am 32E too)

I Was a 32E before pregnant with DD and love the Freya Deco bras. I have loads! Hoping I'll fit back into them!

Brastop online are great (through curvy Kate range don’t seem to fit properly). Free returns are very easy

Debenhams Gorgeous - they do my most perfect fitting bras with fully adjustable shoulder straps.

PouchofDouglas · 11/11/2018 16:28

All bras have those Hmm

FinallyGotAnIPhone · 11/11/2018 16:33

I am a 32FF I’ve bought bras from Debenhams, Bravissimo, John Lewis and online.

VictoriaBun · 11/11/2018 16:35

Ideally like the Panache Tango 2 .

Kit10 · 11/11/2018 16:48

Marks and Spencer padded, underwired, plunge- gives a beautiful shape. I'm the same size.

WWWWicked · 11/11/2018 16:52

PouchofDouglas no they don’t, lots or actually most bras only have half adjustable shoulder straps Hmm

Branleuse · 11/11/2018 16:56

I also love debenhams gorgeous bras, but I find their sizing slightly erratic, so its best to go in and try them on.

Freya and panache bras, I find their sizing really consistent, so I can buy those online no problem, even in different styles

DeltaG · 11/11/2018 17:35

This is a very interesting as I'm the same size and was thinking of asking the same question.

I'm going to look at the gorgeous range.

I have to say that I'm more and more fussy when it comes to bra comfort and I can't stand feeling lace, bows etc.

ErrolTheDragon · 11/11/2018 17:43

Debenhams Gorgeous range is good for bigger cup sizes. Lots of styles and various prices.

Thank you! They didn't seem to have any in that size in the shop yesterday, but 100s on their website!

Did you ask? Maybe you just didn't find the right part of the display - in our Debenhams there's a whole section of larger cup sizes - I think DD and up. I'm 32E and there's usually plenty of choice there.

stoplickingthetelly · 11/11/2018 19:12

I'm the same size as you and either wear Freya or Fantasie. The Fantasie ones are my favourites.

BillywigSting · 11/11/2018 19:16

I'm the same size and my local shops (Asda new look and peacocks) are absolutely crap for underwear.

Back sizes above a c cup start at 34. It's literally impossible to find one that fits properly.

I rate bravissimo, and have heard good things about fig leaves etc. Really should try boux avenue!

I do get a bit pissed off about not being able to to buy a t shirt bra for a fiver with the weekly shop if I need a new one though, it's an hours hike into town

RandomLetters · 11/11/2018 19:20

Have a look on Figleaves website - lots of choice!
