these ones ... tuclothing.sainsburys.co.uk/p/DD%2B-Brown-Nude-Underwired-Full-Cup-Bra/139074127-BrownNude

I've been wearing Fantasie ones at £40ish a pop for last few years and when the ones I had gave up the ghost ...left tit plummeted during a meeting like in a Jilly Cooper story, I had to look for a few replacement that didn't break the bank. I've just sent for a few different sizes of the ones above and I've found my size in Fantasie is exactly the same in these only more comfortable and a hell of a lot cheaper !
Thoroughly recommend

I've worn those bras foe years, they're very good and comfy - looks slightly different so assume they've updated since I last bought one about 2-3 years ago

Thanks for the recommendation OP
I wear fantasie bras so have ordered a couple to try Smile

These look really comfortable but do the frills on the straps not irritate you? They look like they may be itchy

I too spend a fortune at Bravissimo. These look fab. I’m off to Sainsbury’s! BiscuitBiscuit

@worriedandannoyed I haaate anything digging in and irritating me...I'm the first to remove labels from clothing but these don't bother me a jot

I'm a 32H - they don't do my size Confused

I've been wearing these same bras for a few months and they are genuinely very good. Much better support than I've had from M&S etc. It's been a bit of a revelation!

Out of 13 colours there's only one in stock in my size Hmm ONE in stock of ONE colour. The pale lilac.

I think i used to try to buy these in-store a few years ago and could only very occasionally find my size then too and then only if they'd literally just had a big delivery. I would hover round the assistant putting them out and buy the only 1, 2 or 3 they had.

iirc the wires did tend pop out of the stitching after a couple of months. Not at sides but between breasts. For 8 quid they're not going to be built that well and i understood that and would have been ok to restock every month or 2 but as i say there was never that quantity available!! Hmm WHY!?!?

BusterGonad · 03/11/2021 19:47

If the wires are popping out I'd bet you're wearing the wrong size. In all my years of bra wearing I've never had a wire pop out.

I bought one of these bras off the back of this thread and am pretty impressed for the price. Really good cup support that have my boobs looking perky, and no annoying padding.

rosiebl · 06/11/2021 22:09

Also picked up two of these based on this thread and they are perfect. For those complaining that they don't do small back fittings, I got a 34G; I'm normally a 34FF. And it fits perfectly but I am on the last hooks as it's quite tight.

Grumpyoldblonde · 06/11/2021 22:55

These are the only bras I have and been wearing a very long time. They're perfect for me and washed carefully retain their wires, shape, colour etc. I must have 20+ as I always bought a couple during the 25% off events.
