Recommendations for Comfortable Bras

I am a size 10 and a 34c. I don’t know if it is my age (54) but I now find underwires really uncomfortable. I used to buy Victoria Secret, but wish to avoid US brands.
I just had a much anticipated delivery from Lemonade Dolls, but although I followed their measuring guide all of the items were way too small (really lovely though) and I might try the next size up but their styles for padded bras are limited.
I prefer brands that can go in the washing machine and styles that are lightly passed.
Please help!

Oh I feel you on the underwire struggle! (52 and 34D here - solidarity ✊) Since ditching wires, I’ve had great luck with these UK brands:

• M&S Non-Wired Flexifit – Machine washable, light padding, and the ‘t-shirt bra’ style gives a nice shape without feeling restrictive. Their 3-packs are a lifesaver!
• John Lewis’ Anyday range – Super soft, no-dig seams, and the balcony styles surprisingly give decent lift.
• Bravissimo Zara – Designed for bigger cups but the band runs true to size, and their stretch lace is so comfy while still being pretty.
