Recommendations for comfortable underwired bras please 🙏

I gave up on underwired bras 20 years ago...despite being properly measured and fitted I always found after an hour of wearing they digged in underneath and at the sides. However after breastfeeding 2x babies and gaining and losing 3 stones, things have taken a turn southwards. I think I may need the extra lift of an underwired again! I've not yet been measured, but estimate I'm around a 34H now, if it makes a different I'm short (5ft 1) with a narrow back and a short torso. I would be grateful for any recommendations 🙏

@BigBurrata thank you...I actually wear the non wired version of these, so they may be a good bet. Does anyone else have any other suggestions?

Try Morgan from Elomi? I’d recommend a session with a fitter who can not only size you but work out what style will work best for you.

Playtex Flower Elegance has been my go to for years. You need to make sure the band is the correct size though.

Prims Donna Deauville - the best bra you will ever buy.

If they dug in at the sides I'd wager they weren't properly fitted and were sitting on breast tissue.

Have you measured using the Boob or Bust method to see what that puts you as as a starting point?

We sound a similar shape (short torso!) and I get on well with the Bravissimo Niya, fwiw. The Satine is also nice but I have narrow shoulders and it slips off!
