Wireless bras / bralettes for 32FF - recommendations please

[FKATondelayo]

Sorry I am sure it's been done to death but MN search is playing up.

I've finally decided to give up (partly) the wires. Don't have huge boobs but enough for a party - 32FF (yes I measured the proper way). I'm about a size 12-14.

I want comfy non-wire bras, bralettes or vest tops that are supportive, pretty, have matching pants and are not expensive. I prefer NOT Marks and Spencers.

I'm not even sure they are called 'bralettes' - is that a word? Looks wrong.

I don't know if they count as pretty (they aren't lacy, they might be more "cute" than pretty, but urban outfitters do a set of comfy crop tops/bralettes that I think have matching pants.

Why not m and s? They have some really pretty ones.

Tu at Sainsbury’s have some nice ones.. and Molke the marmite of the bra world!

The urban outfitters ones look worth a punt for the price. I was hoping to have some that had more sizing options because SML is a bit unspecific but I will try them.

Molke - sorry but as Simon Cowell would say 'It's a no from me.'

Triumph smart fit is a size 2 with them in your size. Highly recommended, other than the price.

Re the urban outfitters - they are pretty stretchy. I am a 12-14 ish and wear a medium.

Don't bother with anything sized sml. You need to get your bra size. I tried a load on recently and the prettiest, softest ones just left my boobs dangling in a horribly unflattering way.

I found one on ebay that's ex Marks and Spencer, it's soft, pretty and actually restrains the beasts. I'll link if I'm able, I really recommend it.

Fashion bralettes are not for us, sadly. We'd be as well to wear a fkin omelette.

Bravissimo do some great bralettes and soft bras

Can't do links. Here's a screenshot. Bra is true to size, I'm a 32f and it fits really well.

SAY IT ISN'T SO!!!

Off to bravissimo to see if they can help.

Obviously it's up to everyone to get what they want from bras/bralettes, but I am something like a 32G/GG under boob or bust measurements and I get on just fine with these.

I have had variously luck/not much luck with others depending on the brand (Sainsburys hasn't been great for me and I keep trying m and s ones without much luck), but these work for me - so I do think with these things it's probably trial and error until you find a sort that suits you. I am a pretty fussy bra wearer - I can easily go and try on 20+ bras and reject all but one.

I bought a summer dress recently whilst out- sudden shocking burst of sunshine promoted it!

I tucked in the straps of my existing bra (I’m a 34F) and DP said I was wobbling about all over the place 😂

Only nearby shop was Ann Summers where I got a LOVELY strapless (with straps when I need them) in a 36FF.. was only £20!

I meant a 36DD, doh. It fits perfectly and I really like it, super comfy

Doh, name change fail (NameChangeForMoney things) by me above!

I know you said not M&S but I have this one and it’s really comfy (I could happily sleep in it). I don’t normally buy my bras in M&S but this was an exception as I can’t get on with the SML or even dress sized bralettes. I am a similar size to you (32G). I could run in this but can defo do a brisk walk with no issues

Please come back and report what you do buy, I've given up after trying sloggi zero feel, not a chance was it giving anywhere near the support or shape. Love the expression 'enough for a party'

@MorrisZapp that one looks very much like the M&S Fabulous Bralette. I wear those (32F) and have finally found my bra. Lovely and comfy, binned all of my underwires.

I third M&S actually for these (34f). I got 3 non wired/bralettes the other day and all v comfy, supportive and boobs look good.

Not exactly pretty but I’m a 32FF and got a couple of these wireless bras recently which are comfy and inexpensive: www.bouxavenue.com/full-support/full-support-lounge-bra/102687_10WH.html#q=Lounge%2Bbra&lang=default&start=4

Sloggi Zero Feel Bralette!

Oh and I won't shop at M&S either since they decided to make their changing rooms mixed sex.

could you order online if you dont want to use M&s changing rooms?

Curvy kate do a couple of cute bralettes. What sort of style do you want and what sort of level of support?

I have some bralettes that i have got from both sainsburies and also george at asda, but they do jump from an F to a G and also sometimes dont have 32s but I just get a sister size and its fine, but obviously you dont get the same support.
I have the m&s bralette people have recommended above and its pretty much as supportive as a normal bra, but i do find the band cuts in after a while as its trying to ride up, but then i find that in a lot of bralettes, as its the wires in most bras that provide the structure so this doesnt happen.

Its probably going to be trial and error

Same girl, so M&S is out for me.

I've ordered a Curvy Kate Cici, an Unwind and a Zara from Bravissimo and will report back.

@Branleuse

Not sure if this was for me, but I don't want to give them my money at all.

Bravissimo’s Nova is amazing! I am a J cup and it still makes me look like I have a proper wired bra on!
