Bras, bralettes, crop tops etc. Where should I try?

I've really gone off wired bras in the last couple of years, and more often wear Uniqlo cami tops with built in support.

I want to try something more bra-like but I'm confused about where to start. I think I might want to try bamboo or similar, and open to anything soft and stretchy.

Any recommendations or starting points please?

Organic Basics, they are pricey but I keep an eye out for sales, and I reeally rate them

I like Calvin Klein, but I'm very flat chested, I don't know if they're good for bigger boobs.

M&S Flexifit is surprisingly good, can recommend

Are they stitched around the band? I did used to love M&S crop tops but after a while it turned out the elasticated band was glued(?) not hemmed in and came away. Had to ditch them.

Also was just thinking this, pads come out my remaining M&S ones so easily and get lost. My Boody padded ones have started bunching up and wandering over to the other cup in the wash, but I don't think they will actually escape. Beyond me why they don't just stitch them in!

The best looking non wired bra I own is Curvy Kate Lace Daze. It is a lovely bra but not overly supportive. It comes in sizes like 34F/FF or 34G/GG.

I like the John Lewis Anyday Anya - very comfy and feel supported enough. I take the pads out.
