Bras - underwire
12 Answers
I've been on another mission to find a properly supportive bra (finally found one in Debenhams yesterday though not cheap at £33).
They have a good sale on though if anyone else is looking and I have to say the lady who helped me was great, so much better than the times I've been to M&S recently.
I've been looking online for some others, having accepted that fuller cup ones are the way to go and I can't get away with the prettier ones without "bounce" issues.
I've found a few "total support" ones from M&S though they are non-wired. Probably me being dense but I thought the wire gave more support (although it is probably more comfortable without).
Can you get better support without wiring?

As mentioned, Freya is good. I always shop at www.bravissimo.co.uk, as they have a great collection and stock up to an L! (I know, I never knew that size existed either).
I have tried those "total support" ones from M&S (I'm 34G) but they just don't seem to offer the support that the wired ones give, and I'm always worried what the effects of constant wearing would result in.
However, this is from someone that wears a bra 24/7... even to bed!
My opinion - stick with the wire :-)

Wire it is then :) I thought maybe I was missing something as they had ones which seems like they are more supportive but with no wire!
It's like trussing up isn't it Eccles! :) I do miss the days of being able to go pick up reasonbly priced pretty little things from the cheaper high street stores and being able to wear things like balcony bras and little dainty straps which you can hide under things.
