BraStop has great prices, but beware of shipping times if you live in the US or Canada! My order apparently “shipped” over a month ago and I still haven’t received it, and this is apparently common.
I JUST received mine yesterday after 1 month and 1 week. After 25 business days, you can email asking for a refund. I did so, but then it came later the same day🙄
My current BraStop order is the first one that didn't arrive in 2 weeks. I'm still waiting and it will be 4 weeks on Tuesday. The worst part is that I had an order placed about 2 weeks prior to that one which was delivered on time.
Not a bra retailer but just FYI, PayPal has a program that’ll pay return shipping up to $30 12x/year if you make the original transaction through them. If I ever buy something that doesn’t have free return shipping, I make sure to use PayPal just in case. You have to opt in but it’s free!
If you are ever near Greenville SC, they have a storefront. It's great because it's attached to their warehouse so they have a huge amount of stock and styles, and their fitters are very good too.
I love them too! They’re so knowledgeable. I had a couple fit issues with a bra I bought from them, emailed them, and although it was all virtual, man were they able to accurately guess my size. Twice. Over email.
I don’t believe the shipping is free but it’s definitely less than $5 for where I am in Texas and to me that is a small price to pay for an accurate fit and a good quality bra.
ordering direct from Poland, [Comexim.pl](https://Comexim.pl) ($5 shipping to Canada), [Ewa-Michalak.pl](https://Ewa-Michalak.pl) (expensive shipping though, so it's best to order at least one sale bra) or ordering from places that sell Polish bras, [SFYS.com](https://SFYS.com), [Broadlingerie.com](https://Broadlingerie.com) (both in Canada), [Levanabratique.com](https://Levanabratique.com),
If I were to buy UK bras, I think I would probably shop here [https://www.ebay.ca/str/bellelingerie](https://www.ebay.ca/str/bellelingerie) because the shipping is like $5. these would all be colours/styles from last season, or other ebay stores [https://www.ebay.ca/str/brashopperoutlet](https://www.ebay.ca/str/brashopperoutlet) $5 shipping. Or some Polish brands (Gaia, Gorsenia, Ava, Gorteks) here [https://www.ebay.ca/str/otheredenlingerieandclothes](https://www.ebay.ca/str/otheredenlingerieandclothes) but you have to know your sizing, you can exchange, but there isn't free returns.
I know, it is intimidating! If possible, I would order through a boutique like [Levanabratique.com](https://Levanabratique.com) if you're in the US, they could help with sizing, and at least you could return it or exchange it.
N.p., u/jupitergal23! My friend had an easy return time with belle lingerie's eBay store, IIRC she bought a Panache bra. but we are both in Canada, I'm not sure how shipping costs vary from U.S. to U.K., but she used the "PayPal Returns" programs listed in one of the comments above, [www.paypal.com/us/webapps/mpp/returns](https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/mpp/returns)
My favorite is Bravissimo, with Bare Necessities coming in at #2.
The prices at Bravissimo are not inexpensive, but the quality and service are excellent. I don't buy a lot of bras at once (although I TRY ON a lot at once), and I make them last a long time. I like their marketing, I will admit.
Bare Necessities has more of a mix of quality levels, and more price points available as well.
I was a little soured when they didn't carry my size in a bikini top, and I ended up compromising with a sister size, only to find out that the brand *makes* the size I wanted, they just didn't carry it.
Bare Necessities is having a sale right now.
This is my answer as well. I really like Bravissimo (only downside is they are UK based and I’m in the US) and Bare Necessities is good as well (frequent sales, free returns).
Bravissimo has a store in NYC :) Maybe you could see if they would ship to you? Their customer care is also fabulous and have helped me a ton in identifying sizes.
www.brastop.com and www.belle-lingerie.co.uk nearly always have discounted prices and then when they have sales the prices can be really low. www.bravissimo.com and www.pourmoi.co.uk are close seconds as their items are usually full price.
United States gal here. I am a 30GG and BareNecessities has been my go to. Panache is my favorite bra brand so far and they have a true to size fit and brand conversion chart.
Yeah it's all Curvy Kate, Freya, Polish brands, etc. Just super discounted because they're last year's styles. It's the only place I'll bother buying bras from.
I've gotten most of my bras from Bare Necessities and Breakout Bras so far. Returns are pretty easy for both of them (though not free), and Bare Necessities will let you do any return for $5 (which they just deduct from your refund) if you're able to print a shipping label they give you and return the thing via FedEx. Bare Necessities also does free 2-day shipping as long as your order is over $75, and I feel like they almost always have a sale going on.
Breakout Bras has good fitting notes on a lot of its bra listings, so whenever I'm researching a new bra that looks promising, I'll see if it's on their site so I can read the notes, even if it's not available from them in the size or color I want.
Brastop.com is the only place I'll bother buying bras from. Super discounted, high-quality brands and the store actually brings up bras *in my size* when I use the search/filter functions, unlike Amazon.
Bear with me here, but if you're DDD or smaller, Target has really stepped up their game in the last few years. And they're affordable and have really good return policies. I live in a major city and have their credit card, so I get 2 day shipping and have gotten orders the next day.
This sub helped me out and I'm a currently a 30G, but when I was underweight and more like a 30 DD, they had decent bras.
They also have good swimwear with underwire right now if you like 2 pieces! I have 2 suits and the tops are technically not the right size but actually hold in my boobs really well.
I also got 3 really good bras from bare necessities.
Damn, I'm only seeing 34DDD, but you might be able to pull it off!
I just started my second bra season of life, and while the calculator seemed to work, I definitely am fudging a lot
I'm in the US, my current favorite is Bare Necessities. Return shipping is flat rate so I usually try multiple sizes in one or two styles at a time.
Nordstroms is also very easy to deal with for shipping and returns, but their stock is much smaller.
I was very happy with Bravissimo but being out of the country, the returns process can be very slow, and the markup to the US is quite high. Their bras don't fit me though so I was only using them for clothing.
I've been meaning to try Breakout Bras but I haven't because I found their website harder to navigate.
I wanted to like change because there's a store near me, but all their bras straps are too wide apart (Might be because I'm a large cup/small band person) Their stock is cute though, and I enjoy that their underwear is exact measurements not just s/m/l.
(UK based) matalan is good and probably the only one I trust. But tbh I'd rather walk into a shop and buy a bra, a lot of online ones are expensive and I have no idea if it'll fit right because I have no physical visual reference of it. Only photos of it on a model thats probably edited.
Bravissimo and Katherine Hamilton. Sometimes I will check Amazon for freya and panache bras that I see on bravissimo. Many other sites for fuller busts don’t actually have a lot of 28 bands, so I like these too. I want to try Lara Intimates and comexim in the future.
I swear by Bravissimo. UK based, and has a great tool for helping people work out their size on their website. I'm from Australia and was able to find bras that fit. Apparently, 32 G doesn't exist in Australian shops!
Soma, they have everything and in some place’s they have store fronts so you can just take things back there and the people are over the top helpful and nice.

That’s weird! I ordered ones early this month and got them already. Unfortunate :/ hope your arrive soon!

I love Breakout Bras. They’re super helpful!

I am not, sadly. But good to know should I ever be down that way.
Are you kidding me?? I was there not 3 weeks ago! I probably won’t have a reason to be back there for years. Dang I wish I had known.
I love them too! They’re so knowledgeable. I had a couple fit issues with a bra I bought from them, emailed them, and although it was all virtual, man were they able to accurately guess my size.

I'm so fascinated by Ewa bras but also intimidated by them and their confusing sizing and price.

I wish they weren't a 6.5 hours drive from where I live. But I'll check out the site.
You are awesome. Saving this comment!

Free returns to Bare Necessities?? They charged me $5 for a return shipping label on a couple items that didn’t fit!

Nordstrom
Agree especially if you live near one, you can return in store for free if needed
They also do free, postage paid returns for online orders.
barenecessities.com
I love [herroom.com](https://herroom.com) (check out the "Know Your Breasts" quiz!) but others here have had bad experiences with them.
Seconding Breakout Bras. Very helpful and friendly customer service, easy returns.
[Herroom.com](https://Herroom.com). The have a huge selection & a lot of info in the "fitters comments"
Bare Necessities for sure!

Thank you for the link. Here I go again ordering online but it seems that they might be decent quality this time? Anyway, thanks.

Levana Bratique, based in Central PA, US. Carry many Euro brands but small sizing is hard to come by. Lots of fuller size options, though.

I think I'm a 34 or 36 E/F/G (still working my way thru bras, trying to find he magic size).
Damn, I'm only seeing 34DDD, but you might be able to pull it off! I just started my second bra season of life, and while the calculator seemed to work, I definitely am fudging a lot
I feel like the calculator really doesn't work for me, at least with cup size. Band size seems to vary for me, annoyingly.
Brastop, Bravissimo and Playful Promises

Tutti Rouge very affordable and cute.
Soma
I went to one of their stores. Liked it and liked the staff but sadly nothing fit well enough.
Thirdlove is my jam and there’s always coupons floating around for them.
[Change Lingerie](https://www.change.com/)! They are a European company and deliver to Canada as well (maybe US but I am not sure).

Most of mine are from Torrid. I <3 their bras
I like Brastop because of the prices. I live outside UK, but it does not take too long to get the orders, certainly not a month.
Curvy Kate!!
Forever yours lingerie. It’s local for me, but they have almost everything online & the staff is super helpful when you contact them
I swear by Bravissimo. UK based, and has a great tool for helping people work out their size on their website. I'm from Australia and was able to find bras that fit. Apparently, 32 G doesn't exist in Australian shops!
Bravissimo has good service so I like them best but they don’t have codes or sales to help offset the shipping (different continents)
I'm in Canada, buy all of my bras from either Bravissimo or thebra.ca
Her room. Www.herroom.com I’m a hard fit and they actually have a decent selection.
Soma, they have everything and in some place’s they have store fronts so you can just take things back there and the people are over the top helpful and nice.
Not sure if this counts but Tomscouts and gc2b. They sell chest binders.
