    @redofromstart - back in the days across the pond (when I was slimmer), I adored Triumph bras - personally I was a fan of the slightly padded ones as across the pond winters are cold & the insulation was needed.  I've used both their underwire and non-wire ones - they last well and give good comfortable support!

    I'd check Bravissimo for non-wired bras, there's certainly some there from Panache 😊

    🎶 Triumph has the bra for the way you are, whether you're ........🎶

    oooof, rt that company name is a blast from the past! 😁

    I have no advice ref bras redo - I'm grimly hanging onto my last 'nursing' bra - most comfortable bras I've ever had.  Anything else has always been too small around, or too big in the front.
