Bra advice and support needed please

Through every measuring system available I am a 32HH and I can't seem to find bras that are comfortable and also make my bust look good. I don't like the slouchy wireless bras that seem popular among a lot of women as I don't feel they are flattering to my shape and also just don't find them comfortable. (I'm happy to be converted for the right bra). At the moment I live in t-shirt bras.

My boobs are bottom heavy so need lifting into place, they sit heavy on my chest so look quite strange in the wrong bra! In my B cup days of my youth I used to have push up bras that lifted and shifted them into the place they needed to be, but I can't find anything similar for a larger bust. It feels like if you have large boobs you are expected to minimise them and hide them, I'm deciding to embrace that which I cannot change but can't find any bras that work with this.

Do any of you have any ideas of what bras to try and where to buy them from please?

I've always found Bravissimo to be great for smaller band sizes and larger cups. My experience of their fitting service has been really good.

Order direct or use brastop.com. I'm a 36h and buy curvy kate bras

I'm exactly the same size as you (after measuring the boob or bust way) and I buy my bras from bra stop,it's hit and miss with the brands and styles of bras though.
I'm still struggling to find the perfect bra but I did find a great strapless curvy kate bra in 32hh

My friend has a similar size bosom to you and she loves bravissimo and won't buy bras anywhere else. I went with her to a fitting once and they were very helpful and spent ages with her until she found perfect bra and bikini tops

Looking like an expensive trip to bravissimo is ahead of me.

It is a complete struggle isn't it! It's like bra manufactures think "big boobs, need shrinking" not that actually big boobs need good scaffolding and lifting into place to make them look half decent and clothes fit correctly!

I need someone in the bra industry to take note. Also. Pretty bras please bra industry people.

Theres a lady on Instagram who does fittings, bella Rosa lingerie, some of the transformations are worth a look. There's a polish brand, Eva M something, that gets a lot of love, have a look through her posts and stories.
