30E - Panache » Tango Ii Plunge Bra (3256)
Fabric is stiff and sewn into a weird cone shape. Not forgiving. Just a bad shape for me and I comfortable.

Cups are too big and too wide on the sides. If I go a cup size down the problem of my soft tissue still exists and I get this weird shape on the side where the strap pulls. I get cone shape too. I may try a 32DD just to compare. Although I think side support bras aren't best for center full gals.

Thanks for the comment. I have seen that one and may try it. The offbeat padded half cup is one that fits me well but I chose not to go with it because the lace is lumpy under t-shirts and that is not gonna work for me haha. Will have to give the plunge version a try though!
This bra does not flatter me at all. I have soft tissue so the straps pull the lace cups too much causing a weird shape. Loosening the strap helps a bit but not enough. Gore digs in. A cup size up might help but overall this bra is not for me.

Bleh, sides of cups feel too big. The cups are too big but it's like too wide for me. Underwires are a bit uncomfortable too. Straps feel too wide and I don't think I care enough on this one to try a 32 D.

Cups feel soft but the shape is not for me. Straps and wires creaky, wires are uncomfortable on my ribs. Band doesn't feel very good either and feels fragile like it would rip easily. Gotta pass on this one.

The cotton band on this bra is very comfy and soft. The lace feels great too. It has a lot of stretch in the band too. I think that cups are a tad too big and the side wires a little too wide but I could wear this no prob. I can't wear under smooth tees because the lace is lumpy. Cups are a tad too separate but not uncomfortable.

I am looking for a new wireless bra. The one I have now, is comfortable, but doesn't quite fit. So I'm curious what other brands and models everyone else has found that they love?! Preferably lined, to hide the headlights. Thanks ahead of time!

I think the answer will vary depending on size ranges given which brands/models are available at each group.
But for your size range, it looks like Wacoal How Perfect Wire Free Bra (852189) is a popular one.

Jj Ah, right. I forgot to add sizes, sorry. I measure a 34DD, but those never seem to fit me in wireless. So probably 34D? I will look into this bra, thank you!

I have almost given up on being able to find a bra that fits but I still have a little bit of hope. So far, every Elomi has been too wide, wires pinching me painfully in the armpits. I tried a Curvy Kate plunge in 40J that was too small, an Adella (Brastop brand) plunge in 40J that was too ... big and wide in the cups, and several others with way too high gore and the same problem with width. In recent years, the best fitting bra was an Ewa FB that was too big in the cups, but the wires fit perfectly in my armpits. I would really like to avoid resorting to Ewa, because shipping costs are now almost the same as the bras and they aren't exactly cheap to begin with. If anyone has a miraculous suggestion I'd love to hear it.

I measure my bras with the too high gore and the length of wires to avoid that pinch then sleuth around here on the website to determine what will fit. I live in a small city with 2 bras in my size. Orange and a leopard print - not to my taste though nothing against leopard! I often order on ebay or poshmark.
I have also ordered from a Canadian online store called "your bra store". They have a variety of new bras in larger cup sizes. Shipping works out to be about $12 US. Returns are not free.
Another solution that I do frequently is switch out wires. This has been a game changer in making unwearable bras comfortable with a custom fit. I save all my wires from dead bras. I have used shorter wires to get the poke out of my armpit or my gore. Used softer wires for that gore or rib ache. And, I have used narrower wires to decrease a cup width and produce more projection. This is the easiest alteration I can do and works well. Just a few stitches to secure the wire where it needs to be. This has saved many a bra where returns were a big hasell or not a possibililty. Good luck in your search!

Bought this brand new. It’s a 36JJ, Curvy Kate. I had to put the band on the tightest set of hooks for it to fit better. Should I try getting ... a 34O(US)/34K(UK)?
FURTHER CONTEXT: I have two other bras, 36M(US)/36J(UK) in Panache & Elomi. The band fits fine I think but, I have the tiniest amount of spillage in the front (tiny quad boob), the gore does not touch my sternum in either, & I sometimes pull up the band bc it seems to get too low? I redid my measurements on ABraThatFits and got 36JJ/36K. Idk where to go from here.

Did you know there is a plunge version of this bra? https://www.bratabase.com/browse/freya/offbeat-plunge-bra-5452/ I tried both and like the plunge more. It's not a super low plunge and still works to contain center fullness.
