Comfortable non-wired bra (lace/mesh) with some support and separation?!

I'm a size 14, 32/34F or FF in wired bras depending on brand, but increasingly I never wear them with wires as UGH I can barely bloody stand it, especially in this heat.

I usually wear Bravado non-wired bras, M&S Flexifit and non-wired, and a Lemonade Dolls mesh lace one that is very comfy albeit pretty useless at separating after more than hour. (It's not too bad at supporting though.)

I do love the comfort/softness of the Lemonade Dolls once but has anyone found anything similar (non-wired, lace/mesh triangle style with adjustable straps) that even attempts to separate?! I see the Bravissimo Cora recommended - I don't mind the look of it but the straps aren't adjustable, which gets annoying for me.

My dream would be stretch cotton lace, in neutral colours, that lifts and separated at least a bit, has a 3-hook back clasp, adjustable straps and free returns 😁

It's not cotton, but I like this bra. Recommended it on another thread & had several other posters agreeing that they were fans of it too. I'm a 36F & have three!

It's not what I would really call a bralette - it's a proper bra without wires or padding, with adjustable straps. It does give lift & separation, but is quite a natural fit IMO.

I've actually tried that one, @EleanorMc67, and it wasn't quite right for me! Thank you though - you're doing sterling work on S&B at the mo 😂

I have a different M&S Total Support one that I do like but that one was a bit flattening, I think, and felt like there was a bit too much if it....although obvs I don't want to too skimpy!

Ah, you've noticed! That's bad ... 😶! I need to disappear for a while, I think ... & do something more productive with my spare time!!!

I have to say, I put a wired bra on today for the first time in aaages - & I spotted myself in the mirror & for a minute thought I'd lost weight. I haven't - but my boobs were definitely more lifted & it made me look slimmer & more defined. I might try some of the recommendations on that other thread for comfy wired bras ...

Ahh it wasn't a criticism, @EleanorMc67 - you're doing God's work!!

Yes no disagreement re a better shape, generally, from wires, but is it really worth it 😳 I've put on a pound or two since I last bought wired bras and when I recently wore one that used to be comfortable, for a night out, I nearly came home early it was that bloody uncomfy 😱
