In fact, we’d go so far as to say this is one of the sexiest bras in our range, that is apart from our quarter cup bra sets!

A devilishly stylish black lace balconette bra, the Panache Rosa Balconnet boasts sheer mesh cups with floral lace embroidery for a clashing of worlds. But as is the case with anything timeless, the devil is truly in the details – and you won’t be disappointed when you get up close to this sexy balconette bra.

If you’re a curvy girl with a bigger bust, then chances are that finding the best bra for your body can feel like a bit of a minefield.

Available in three beautiful colours and boasting universally appealing ornate lacework on their full-sized cups, the Estel Plunge Bra is designed to look flattering on a range of plus size bodies.

As for support, the Envy is wired with a side sling to centralise the bust and for forward projection, as well as fully adjustable straps so you can get the perfect fit with every wear.

This helps centre the breast tissue and effectively provide an organically minimising effect. 

The cups of the C Magnifique are also soft and stretchy whilst still creating a rounded, natural shape that’s sure to compliment casual, formal, or work attire. The C Magnifique’s wide, double-lined mesh band and fully adjustable straps are designed to provide maximum support whilst also smoothing out your back and sides – and that’s what got the C Magnifique on this list of our best bras in 2024.
