I’ve been replenishing my bra capsule with exactly the same Simone Perele bras for almost a decade and I really want to change things up. Four years ago I tried to do so and was unsuccessful. I ordered twenty bras from a range of brands, hoping something would work as well as the Simone Pereles. Nothing did. 

I love bras and enjoy wearing them, so recently I tried again. I prefer lace bras with full cup coverage and an underwire. The prettier the bra with knickers to match, the more fab I feel in my undies. I wear a narrow fit 30D.

I went to Nordstrom and tried on twenty bras in their dressing room. Most were the incorrect size. The fits were wrong on the few that were the right size. I was none the wiser.

I was determined, so when I got back home I ordered eight bras in a 30D. Pickings were less slim than four years ago. A welcome change. Sizing was inconsistent. Some fit perfectly, while others ran wider on the band and bigger in the cup. But to my surprise I found four new bras that are comfortable, fit correctly, are cheaper than the Simone Pereles, and prettier too. You can see them in the collection below.

My old Simone Perele bras have a very smooth cup, so they’re great to wear under tighter tops. The new lacier bras scratch my itch for something new and work well under most things. For now I’m sorted with bras, and shopping for knickers to match.
