It might seem that way, chiefly because these are the most fashionable shapes at the moment - just as the Wonderbra and Ultimo were hot in the 1990s. In actual fact, there's a whole heap of choice out there if you know where to shop wisely. A department store should have a good selection of shapes and styles - and fashion editors swear by the lingerie department at Fenwick of Bond Street. You'll find assistants who really know the business of breasts, and they'll point you in the direction of non-padded, non-shell bras should you wish.
