Recommendations for supportive bra (not sports bra)

12 replies

Lavendar01 · 17/06/2026 15:25

Can someone recommend a bra, or bra brand (not sports bra) that provides good support, round look, and is anti bounce.

I've just bought a balcony bra from asda, surprisingly its doing a good job so far: anti bounce and giving a nice uplift, but based on previous purchases, doubt it'll hold it's shape/ performance.

Are balcony bras best for this?

Any recommendations please? 🙂

Get measured and then get a Fantasie bra. The best thing I did and now can't get cheap bras ever. It truly is worth it. Marks and John Lewis often have them on sale.

I used to like the Panache Ana bra but my new favourite is Elomi Lucie.

It’s very hard as it’s so personal. Best thing you can do do is get measured at somewhere like bravissimo and have a big try on session.

I think full cup bras are better for this, than balcony bras.

I have one from Bravissimo that does this really well. I cant see it on their website but it's similar to Panache's fusion bras.

Elomi are brill

I could wear balcony when younger, but now the boobs have aged i wear Fantasie rebecca. Always fitted at bravissimo then order other colours I can find cheaper elsewhere

Fantasie Fusion or Illusion are my favourites.

The Lucie is one of the styles from Elomi, I like it as the gore is not too high.

Fantasie Fusion and illusion are very good bras. Simple and smooth so no lumps and bumps under t shirt. Very supportive. I hand wash so they last longer.
