I hate buying bras. I can never find exactly what I want. Please help me work out where to look online.
I am a 32E.
They need to:

  • be padded enough that my nipples don't show through (personal preference)
  • Balcony style so low enough at the front for for v neck tops
  • Elegant
  • Underwired
  • Machine washable (so no silk)
  • Less than £50 (might pay slightly more for something amazing.)

I want to feel like if I had to take my clothes off at any opportunity, I would feel confident.
I have previously liked some of the Rosie brand ones from marks and sparks.

splash out on a Rigby and Peller, they are lovely Nd hand wash really well. They will also check your bra size for free just by looking at you. Truly fantastic. Problem is they are expensive and others won’t compare

Have you tried Fantasie bras? They have plenty of padded balconette ones. This model gives a very nice shape: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/375861989620?_skw=fantasie+32e+balconette&epid=17054401477&itmmeta=01JH16HZSZT7BJKWVGSJZBJCWX&hash=item57831ed0f4:g:oeMAAOSwgVhilPDo&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA8HoV3kP08IDx%2BKZ9MfhVJKm%2Bdc5N9qRA%2BBl3HeIt2o57UnaSVbwBDPnkVDFqhCdTbEu3Bj7BoOzFijGgeF9eJs%2BYjMdooA2FI444sUtIyJCbJsH9oCOgQadOSz6jMTk%2BEHOPxGUlPkU98wSgsX507qm4ye46FGY%2FhQDdb3xLXvxZWW8n2ccJsbSbAz269Cf0SePa9CC3dJmxXzv3e%2BdrYpnxKVCt2ZODQ6ZSjBywNqweFWgg8n6irI%2Bgse5qta%2FLNQ1KB0UtZHB3Wb02RY9nFxr%2FT0SP4KuD8hQa%2FuIZO8vhq6sLytF9n5RGUno0xIu%2Beg%3D%3D%7Ctkp%3ABFBMjv3Hpohl

Victoria secrets bras are comfy , wash well and last forever

Mishmashs · 07/01/2025 20:35

I’m the same size as you, measured by Rigby & Peller. My nicest one is by Aubade. My day to day ones are by Marie Jo. They’re underwires and I wash them on a gentle cycle.

Another vote for Panache. Also check out Bravissimo. I'm a 38HH and have used both of these for 20+ years. I also had a couple of Rigby and Peller, but they are hugely expensive.
