I wish this would fit me better then it does, as it’s the only bra I’ve found so far that doesn’t sit on breast tissue both on the side and middle. It fits well enough to keep and is the most comfortable underwire bra So far. The cups are quite tall and it’s more suited for people with wider roots, the straps are set too far apart for me but should be okay for people with more average or wide shoulders. The amount of support was enough for me even during my short run to the train.
The band runs true to size and the cups slightly larger then ... some other 32F’s I’ve tried but I think that’s mostly the width and height.

I love the polka dots and the lace is beautiful and soft enough for my sensitive skin. I can’t find this particular colorway on the m&s site itself, I bought this one via zalando. I found out there are 2 versions of this style, this one starts at 32bands and has cup sizes b-g available, the other one starts at 28bands and has f-k cups. As I’m within both size ranges I’m gonna try out the other one in the hope that it fits better then this one.

This is the first underwire bra I’ve made and while the fit isn’t perfect it’s pretty good. I’ve never been able to tolerate a gore this high before but overlapping the wires really is a game changer.
I’m trying to work up my courage to try more suitable fabrics as this woven cotton is very unforgiving for any fluctuations throughout the month. Some days I can’t fill it out other days I quad out of it.
It’s quite a step up from doing small alterations though and I’m excited to make the next one even better.

I’ve tried 32E, F and G in this one, the band is quite consistent between the sizes and a good fit for me. I find the jumps between the cups quite large compared to some other bras. The E is much too small in the cups and the G much too large, the F is the correct size for me but the shape isn’t perfect for me. The wires of the E are better fit then the F for me. I believe I have average to narrow roots and this bra is more suited for people with wider roots. I also have narrow shoulders and this one is more suited for people with average to wide shoulders. I have short roots and this style is a bit too tall for me.

It has a firm band and the elastic feels very soft on the skin. The wires are very flexible and are the first ones that don’t hurt me. Cups are made from elastic lace without seams and has an extra layer of elastic mesh on the sides to push the breasts more to the front.

I actually got this one for my mother as she loves butterflies and it happier wearing seamless tops then proper bra’s. I think it will fit her much better as she has a larger ribcage but smaller breasts then me. I’m about a size 32F/FF for reference and I estimate my mum at a 36D.
I could definitely fit in the medium band size wise but that would flatten my chest like a compression sports bra. I wouldn’t go smaller then the xl for myself personally as I don’t like a flattened chest. The xxl was described as for 40B/C/D but I think the suitable size range is actually ... larger as it’s quite forgiving. Of course a larger size will give less/no support but if you’re someone like my mum that prefers a loose fit over support and just wants to be covered this is perfectly fine.

It has pads that can be taken out, which is quite practical for washing. As washing machines have a tendency to mess up pads. The fabric is seamless and super stretchy and quite soft but it also feels very synthetic, and has quite a factory smell to it before washing an wearing. Im sure the smell will be fine after washing but the fabric will probably always feel synthetic. I think it would be quite hot and sweaty in the summer but probably quite comfortable in the winter.

It’s so soft and comfortable but the reviews weren’t kidding when they said the cups ran large. I figured as I’m kinda in between 32F/FF the F should be okay but it’s at least one cup size too large for me. I’m planning on ordering it again in 32DD and 32E and hopefully those will fit me better.
The bands seems slightly large as I accidentally hooked it on the middle hooks instead of the last but that might be caused by the too large cups.
It has pockets for prosthetic breasts for who needs those as it designed for people after a mastectomy. Those would be good for padding out one side for people with more asymmetry as well.
Of course it’s also suitable for after a breast reduction or augmentation or as a comfortable lounge bra.

Since the gyms opened back up I needed an upgrade from my old poorly fitting sports bra but I didn’t want to spend a ton as I expect my size to change when exercising again. This 2 pack from m&s seemed like a good deal and will definitely help me get fit again.
The band feels quite tight like sports bra’s generally do but measures like a typical 32 band. It compresses me 10cm/4” from my leaning bust measurement but is identical to my lying measurement. I still got a bit of bounce but I forgot to tighten the straps (this is how the pictures are taken) I since ... tightened the straps a bit and that helped if I would cross the straps in the back that should reduce some more. I think this is the best support I can get out of a compression sports bra and this is enough for me as I don’t do very high impact exercises.
You might notice a stain on the green one which I believe is caused by the other bra in the pack as it’s the same grey. It arrived this way but I expect it to wash out but I’ll definitely wash them separately for the first time.
Not much else to say about them except that the mint green makes me feel like my skin looks tomato red/a very bad sunburn)

I got this bra send as a mistake, I actually ordered a wired bra from a different brand. I have no idea what model it is but it’s certainly the worst supporting bra I’ve ever tried on and that includes other wireless bras and bralettes in multiple band sizes too large. The band is tight enough that is should at least give some support but no I pass the pencil test in it if I don’t tighten the straps. While there’s nothing wrong with passing the pencil test out of a bra I will never wear a bra in which I do. To me that means a terrible fit or a terrible bra. To top it off it’s the most uncomfortable bra I’ve ever worn so I’d love to cast this bra in the deepest pits of hell.

It so soft and comfortable but the cups are too round for my conical breasts. The pictures of me in the 32F and E look a bit pointy but that’s caused by me not filling out the cups I had to go down 2.5 cup sizes from my usual 32F/FF to get a okay fit. The inside has an molded cup but unlike most molded cups this one is not very shallow. It’s covered by a soft t-shirt fabric which hides any potential gaping or quad boob.
There are pockets on the inside for a prosthetic breast as it’s designed as a post mastectomy bra. It’s also suitable for a breast reduction or augmentation or like me as a lounge bra.
I really appreciate the cotton fabric on hot summer days. It’s quite a stretchy 32 and I feel like a 30 would give me a bit more support but it’s sadly not made below a 32 band. It’s size range is 32A-42GG and it’s available in white and grey only.
Its exempt from VAT so it’s very affordable.

So I went to the Hunkemöller despite knowing they don’t stock my size in the shops, they have a few options online but I wanted to at least try on some sister sizes to have an idea if a certain bra would worth ordering in the first place. The people working there either really have no idea how a bra is supposed to fit or their trained to ignore a terrible just to be able to sell a bra. Anyway I decided to play along with their game of finding a fitting bra and tried on everything they suggested in any size. And I went something like this ... : here try this 80E I did and complained about the quadboob and that the band felt too loose to feel supported. Their solution: try the same one in 85E. This of course solved the too small cups but did nothing to get me any support. After more terrible fitting bra’s she decided that regular bra’s wouldn’t fit me and went on to give me bralettes in size large. Claiming as they had more hooks in the back so the tightest set would be smaller then the 80 bands. Of course this wasn’t the case and it was so loose the ill fit of the cups were hidden quite well. As a joke I tried to scoop my breasts in but the loose band made only one of them stay scooped. The result hilariously lob sided cleavage and zero support and guess what the person working there declared it a perfect fit.
It is a pretty bralette and for the intended size range it would probably be a nice option. According to their charts the L is for 85BCD and 90ABC which I think is fairly accurate.
