Natori makes my favorite bras when I actually wear ones with wires (I, like you, have switched to bralettes). They are reasonably priced (I guess that's relative but under $100) and I can wear it for a long time. I've never tried them personally but I hear good things about Dita Von Teeses bras and she makes balconnet ones.
Hot take: I think underwire bras, like eyeglasses, need to be tried on in person. Two LA stores worthy of the trip (IMO): Sara's in Studio City and Jenette Bras. Jenette specializes in D and up but has had smaller sizes in stock the last times I've been. I *think* but have not verified that they carry a wider size range at their Pasadena store.

I too am revisiting real bras! I *just* bought the Natori heavenly balconette bra! Sooo comfy but sexy.
I love Huit for demi bras. Gorgeous options, good quality for the price - https://huit.com/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage&q=Demi
Tibi makes some great skirts in a similar style!! Love the recs!
I’m loving your eye for fashion! White skirt? Yes, please! Bralette? My big boobs say, “No, thank you”. Thanks for the read!
Bimby and Roy make beautiful bralettes with an added bonus of being a female owned small business.
