Comfortable Bras

I’m looking for a bra which is comfortable but has “lift and separate!” I have wasted money on ones such as the “lacy bra” and they make my bust look awful. It seems that very comfortable bras are only for small, neat busts.
Any advice very much appreciated.

Sorry if this has been repeated ad infinitude but Imhave a specific question, having wasted so much time and money ordering bras. Has anyone bought Miss Mary AND Bestform? If so how did the sizes compare? I don't have a Braavissimo,shop near me or a shop that sells both these brands.

I really like Ewa Michalak, Nessa, and Gorsenia for Polish brands. Have found the sizing to be a little tricky to get right (Ewa seems to run smaller than Gorsenia in the cups so I size down in Gorsenia) but I've tried bras from both brands that give me great support a nice rounded shape.

I used to live in Canada where it's a little easier to find these brands and generally a wider size range (e.g., shop.broadlingerie.com/collections/polish-bras for Nessa and EM and www.foreveryourslingerie.ca/...s-ewa-michalak for Ewa), in the US they are definitely harder to find but you can get a few brands online at miseczki.com/collections/all

My mission in life at the moment seems to be finding a comfortable bra.
My problem I think is my shape rather than any bra problem, but on one side, under my arm, the bra rolls over, so that it’s just a narrow band of fabric, very uncomfortable, and very unflattering.
I’ve ordered endless ones, and returned them
It seems to be an impossible dream to put on a bra and feel comfortable.

For Pete’s sake Gransnet! When are these Perishing pop up things going to stop 🛑 ? The traumatised looking woman in the before & after images is getting me down. And they are pointless anyway.

I'd nearly given up trying to find a comfortable bra: my body must be an odd shape as they never seemed to fit. Yes I have been to Bravissimo for a fitting, and they were great, but after a few days of wearing even those were un-comfy.
I ended up buying one of their Zara bralette bras, which I always thought were for small boobs, but they're really good for my 38D girls. I now have a few in different colours. Recommended www.bravissimo.com/products/zara-bralette-ln605/#white-ln605wht
