I found yall years ago, got a breakout bra box and got used to having nice bras that fit before I had a baby. I kept hoping I'd get back to that same size but alas.... I've been wearing sports bras / breastfeeding bras for like 4 years now and I'm starting to get hot flashes, and I'm about to move to a hot climate.

I have a really hard time with synthetics, they're so hot, I'm always so hot, and a full coverage bra that covers my whole rib cage in synthetics is torture. I want like, mild/moderate support/shape with as little fabric as possible but with breathable soft fabrics. Unlined underwire with side support are the search terms, I think.

My favorite bra was/is the dorina curves Lila cotton unlined underwire bra. (The ones I have are 34d and I'm wearing them these days with a lovely quad boob effect). It's very basic, comfortable all day, and keeps cool. 45% cotton, it says. It also seems to have side support: a non stretch band of fabric on the outer edge of the cup, sandwiched in between the 2 layers of fabric.

If I could buy the exact same thing in my new size I would, but I can't find them, & dorina doesn't ship to the USA. Plus it was many years ago, if they make the same thing they call it something else, I think.

As a runner up I wore a wacoal halo lace underwire bra, but I liked the dorina much better for fit and comfort. There is no side support, just the stretchy cup fabric, so maybe that's why the fit isn't as nice. Also I don't like the lace, it's scratchy and shear I don't like it for every day.

I'm a bit overwhelmed by the websites, I'm not a great shopper and I feel like I'm going in circles. And everything is super synthetic. Please help.
