    Panache Tango Balcony bra every time. If they ever discontinue it i don't know what i'll do :(

    I get measured in Bravissimo but have managed to get the bras cheaper via Ebay. Last 2 i bought i got for £19.99 each with free postage. Think they're £26 in Bravissimo now ?

    I also say get measured at Bravissimo if you can. You can get some of the same bras at Bravissimo from Debenhams, so once you know your size you can go there. Just don't ask them to fit you, they're useless. Well they were with me (I was a 34H then, they said 36G)

    I am a bra fitter and there is one thing to bear in mind, if you have lost the elasticity at the top of your bust then you just may not be able to wear a plunge bra. I can't wear any of them because everything just falls to the front of the bra.

    If you are going out of the night and want it for a one off it is fine, just tape yourself into it.

    But yes, Tango Plunge or Freya but look for the Balcony Plunge bras. They sit a bit higher up in the central gore and give more support but are still cut to still give the same deep cleavage fit so pretty much anyone can wear them. I am a 32G/GG and love the Freya Pollyanna - I live in mine.

    I've not really lost the elasticity....I'm in my 20's so they're not too bad at the moment...although as a H I know I should make the most of it as it won't last forever :P The problem I have is that a lot of bra's uplift me too much, so that I have a ridiculous cleavage, and my bust is literally up under my chin. But then at the other end, I have tried other bra's that are so useless that they look like bikini tops....e.g the cup covers about a quarter of each (for want of a better word...I have a strange issue about using proper words :P) boob. And the underwiring will be so thin that it may aswell not be there. So I need something that although plunge does cover properly in the cup, with decent support, BUT doesn't uplift me too much/create too much of a cleavage. If anything I need to reduce the cleavage, but also want to be able to wear low cut/lower cut tops without my bra showing.
    Any suggestions very much appreciated :) I've still yet to try the freya but I bought a couple of bra's from debenhams online which are awful :( I also tried the balcony plunge bra's and they were so small..I ordered my regular size and it didn't fit! It was strange because the tango balconys fit me perfectly.

    Have you tried Simply Yours? They sell Curvy Kate which fit me really well and I'm a 34GG
  • I agree bravissimo is the place to go!
    I love freya bras have you tried the taylor/ashlee/deco/retro they are all great plunge bras
    I also have some of bravissimo own brand bras and their plunge bras (poppy and can't remember the other ones name) are great
    Good luck :)
