Oct 28, 2012 I need new bras...

I really need new bras. Almost all my old bras are too small now :( I have tried to make some my old bras wearable again but it does not work. I only get neck pain from too loose bands or if I take in the band, the cups get too small…
So I’ve been wearing my two Andorras everyday since two weeks and they are showing aready signs of use like lace going off or hooks almost falling out. (bad quality or normal?) So its time to try some new bras and I have made a little list:

Aviable for good prices on ebay:
Panache Fern
Panache Emily (never heard of it must be an old style)
Freya Celia
Freya Jolie
Freya Lucy

For full price:
Panache Jasmine (got raving reviews on Bravissimo )
Cleo Natasha
Cleo Zia
Cleo Meg
Curvy Kate Daily Boost (good t-shirt bra?)
I need a good sports bra since my Shock Absorber in 32H is now too small. Freya Active?
I also want to try an Ewa Michalak bra, not decided which but I want to try a PL which I can use as a T-Shirt bra.
Any other Suggestions? Which ones on my list should I try, which ones avoid??

  • What sizes are you looking for? For the Zia/Natasha/Meg styles there are quite a bit of older ones up on eBay and other places. What bras in which sizes are too small now? In which country are you in?

  • I'm looking for mostly for 30J. This is my Size in the Panache Andorra. Also this is the size the Butterfly Calculator suggests as starting size with my current measurements. There are not so many 30J Cleo bras on Ebay (except the newer ones) Alexa in 30J is on its way to me and Lucy I own in a 30J but the wires were always too wide for me although the cup size is now right (it was much too big when I purchased it months ago)
    Freya Deco 32GG (much too small cups, too big band)
    Panache Tango 32H (too big band, quadraboob, also the wires are very unconfortable because they are too high)
    Shock Absorber 32H Boobs escaping on a all sides because its much too small( but for a short time at home its wearable but not comfy) Oh and I'm from Switzerland. I had the chance to try today a few sister sizes of Cleo Marcie and Meg I posted about this here: http://www.bratabase.com/profile/3a1/adventures/176/
