Best supportive but glamorous bra to hold in the fat bits

Nothing beats Rigby and Peller fitting imo and I’m saving up to go there again.

Don’t go to M&S. they add 4 inches to your band size. They measured me at 34DD for years and I kept hitching the band down at the back and falling out the front. Turns out I’m a 30G! Measure under your boobs for a indication of your band size. If it measures 34 inches, start with a 34 band and go up cup sizes until all your breast tissue stays put. Get your hands in and scoop all your breast tissue into the cups.
I personally like the Fantasie bras. Very pretty. I refuse to do dull bras!

Try Figleaves website.

Fantasie bras - really good side support!

My problem is that one breast is a full cup size bigger than the other. I either have one side a bit empty or the larger one escapes over the bra top and I end up with three lumps! Haven’t found any bra to solve the problem. I can’t wear under wired because I have a high rib cage.
Jus re-read this and think like I must sound like I am Quasimodo’

You need a bra with side supports such as Fantasie. This enables you to 'swoop and scoop' all your breast tissue (from round the sides) into the cup, hence no side bulges. I also agree with the post about Boob or Bust, most of us are wearing a band too big and a cup too small.

I am a fan of Rigby and Peller, yes they are expensive as others have said, but the comfort, support and shape is worth every single £.

Bravissimo is also good, and their matching knickers are much cheaper than R & P

I used to go to rigby and peller, apparently they do the queen’s bras. Very expensive, but they know what they’re doing. Now I can’t bear wearing underwired ones for long. Or any or them, really. First thing I do when I get home is whip it off!

Miss Mary of Sweden, no wires, front fastening and non slip straps. Pretty, effective and flattering.

,Gillyknits I have the same problem as you with different size boobs. A real problem.

When I was a young teenager my DM took me to be fitted for a bra at the local department store. The fitter said to always stand and let your boobs drop into the cups for the most comfortable fit. I have been doing that for 63 years and it does work even with my uneven boobs.

This thread is great, I hate wearing a bra and I cannot wear one with underwire at all as it just hurts no matter who fits it. I am going to M&S asap! x

Gillyknits and Daisyboots - I believe either stretch cups or moulded bras are usually suggested for breasts of different cup sizes. I was trying to help a friend with this problem and in the end she found one that worked with a type of memory foam in the cups. May have been a Wacol bra?

Next are good for bras as well

If you are near Poole go into Mabel and Jacks. They are brilliant.

Another fan of amplebosom here! I have been buying from them over 20 years, and they are very helpful.

Can anyone recommend a bra that holds in the side boobs for us big busted ladies?

This original post was almost 3 years ago. I'm still watching with interest...

Oh for the longline bras of yesteryear!
Shaper pants even if high waisted roll down, I don’t want to wear a whole “suit of armour” but the bit between boobs and waist/hips remains stubbornly muffin topped.
