Chantelle Norah non wired alternatives please!

I recently went for a bra fitting and wanted non wired bras so the lady fitted me and I tried a Chantelle Norah bra which I love.
As the weeks have gone on though I realised I needed a smaller back size and couldn't work out why the lady gave me a bra that needed doing up on the smallest hook. Just gone to try and buy the same bra in a smaller back size to find out they only start at 32 and I need a 30. Actually I did find a couple of bras in that size but they seem difficult to get hold of in a 30 back.

If you know this bra (which is amazingly comfortable and looks good too!) can you please recommend me any others you've found which are similar. I'm a 30E.

It does come in a 30e @SirRaymondClench . Currently on sale on John Lewis website.

Thanks @WhereAreWeNow I could only see the wired one on there, I can't do wires any more. Will have another look 🤗

I can't do wires either and I'm also 30e. They definitely had them on JL site this morning. I bought a different Chantelle one.

Ps. Thanks @SirRaymondClench . Your post made me look at the non-wired Chantelle bras. I just got one on sale and I love it!

You're welcome they are beautiful aren't they? 😁

Which one did you get?

I need to thank you too because I bought the non wired bra (half price!!) on your link suggesting John Lewis, so thank you! 😁

Did you manage to find any nice ones that don't have padding? The Cloudia bra arrived today and it's beautiful but a little thicker material than my Norah. It seems to fit very well.

I just wish they had a broader range of colours. I'm going to France next week so I'm going to see if these bras are as expensive there. They seem worth it though because I've worn my Norah bras all week and they have been so comfy. I had surgery a year ago but still can't bear anything on my scars and these have been great. They look nice too!

I got the Cloudia too. I really like the shape.
In my experience bras are pretty pricy in France and I can never find 30E there, even though several French brands seem to sell 30E bras for the UK market.
I've had more luck finding nice French bras cheaply here. Just keep an eye out for sale bargains and check sites like Belle Lingerie.
