The Best Bras for Bigger Busts

When it comes to comfortable bras for big busts, never underestimate the importance of a professional bra fitting (M&S BraFit appointments are available via video consultation and in store, or via our online bra-fitting tool). If you’ve lost weight, gained weight or had a baby, your bra size is likely to have changed. Our bigger-bust range, with some styles going up to a K cup, has bras to suit all tastes.

Avoid the perils of too-tight straps, digging-in underwires or a ‘mono-boob’ with a bra that perfectly fits both your back and cup size. And don’t forget to consider the silhouette of your bra in relation to your body shape. If you have a small frame with large close-sitting breasts, opt for a plunge or a full-cup style. If you have more angular shoulders and a gap between your breasts, try a balcony bra.

More than one third of women in Britain own eight bras, but only wear two regularly. Our experts recommend buying three bras and refreshing them every six months. DD+ bras need to be changed more frequently to retain the support and fit required.

Once you’ve established your size, clear out your lingerie drawer and start from scratch. A full-cup T-shirt bra, a pretty balcony bra and a sports bra should have every scenario covered. And once you have the foundations sorted, you can start adding fancier bra styles.
