Favourite M&S bra discontinued. Alternatives?

28 replies

Is anyone an M&S Lingerie Consultant who can suggest either where I can buy discontinued stock of this bra, or it's best replacement.

Sumptuously Soft T-Shirt Bra.

I preferably need a 30E but I'll buy a 32DD in desperation. Ideally in the almond colour, but I'd also buy white.

Oh no this is my favourite one too. 😲

How about the non-wired flexifit from M&S? I don't usually rate M&S but have a couple of these

The Flexifit bra is quite different and I didn't get on with it and sent it back.

This body soft bra is better.

@JamMakingWannaBe at the bottom of the description for the bra @SongforWhoever posted is written:

"New name, still your favourite Sumptuously Soft style"

SongforWhoever · 12/02/2023 12:59

@SevernEleven I didn't notice that. It's not exactly the same and would like some different colours.

There's some on eBay.

Thanks all.

Ugggh. I so could do without bra shopping. Looks like I need to head into store and try some on.

There is a M&S outlet in the next town but it's a PITA to get to.

Off to hunt down some on eBay...

This bra is my favourite too.Maybe we should start a petition to send to M&S and ask for it to be brought back

ElizabethBest · 06/03/2023 13:58

They are still doing the bra, it's just changing name. the debenhams gorgeous t shirt bra and the figleaves t shirt bra are virtually identical though. the figleaves one is INCREDIBLE, but it lasts about 5 mins before a wire comes through.

Also my favourite, I'm gutted they're discontinued. I bought two similar ones (also now discontinued) that aren't nearly as comfortable. My last Sumptuously Soft one is looking wrecked from being washed 3 to 4 evenings a week and hung by the bathroom radiator to dry overnight so I can wear it again the next day.

MmePoppySeedDefage · 06/03/2023 14:15

My favourite as well. Some of those were the only purchases I've made from M&S in the last 4 years, because of them letting men into the fitting rooms, even those in which we would try on underwear. Boo.

Smeff · 07/03/2023 16:35

I’m gutted about this. Just went on to see if they’d got any new colours in for spring and it’s disappeared :( I don’t know why they’d discontinue / change such a popular product 🤷🏼‍♀️

Smeff · 07/03/2023 16:36

I’m in!

Luckily I just bought two from Vinted. Be careful with eBay/Vinted as M&S seem to use "Sumptuous Soft" for a number of styles including nursing, post-op and plunge bras. It was definitely the t-shirt bra I wanted and managed to track down.

The style with the stripe pattern is NOT THE SAME. The wires come up a lot further at the front which does not suit my bust shape.

WHAT, this is my favourite too! I have it in black, white and nude.
Why would they do this?!

Acqua · 07/03/2023 22:31

Noooo!
I was just thinking it was time to restock for Spring/Summer. They were the most comfortable bras from a healthy selection that I had purchased for me and my daughter last summer - more from desperation to find something comfy than extravagance. We were both agreed. They were the best ones. So I thought I'd simply restock with just that design. M&S - hope you're reading this. We want it back please. Roise's etc offerings are lovely but not as comfortable and practical for everyday.

Coffeepot72 · 10/04/2023 19:04

Coming to this late as I only just realised they had been discontinued - the ‘body full cup’ which I assume is the replacement is NOT the same with sizing, so frustrating!!

Hilary1949 · 10/04/2023 22:58

I would love to find a bra like the M& S discontinued one. Has anyone found one yet?

TokyoSushi · 10/04/2023 23:02

I have this one, it's my absolute best bra, is it the one people are saying they don't like? It's lovely!

I have been browsing at M&S and found this: https://www.marksandspencer.com/non-wired-full-cup-bra/p/clp60545541?intid=mobileappppdpshare

TokyoSushi · 10/04/2023 23:03

Oh! Mine is the same, but wired!
