Strapless bra recs for larger boobs

***kate*** · 26-05-2012, 09:52am

Anyone got a rec for a strapless bra for big boobs (small back tho). I will go into Bravissimo, but the last couple of times I was in, they haven't impressed me.

Thanks :)

You might be better off with a long-line strapless bra. I've certainly found them more supportive than ordinary strapless ones. Or going down a back size. However I've never found one so good that I'd actually recommend one sadly. Apart from the corset style one I had a few years ago but that was £100 from Rigby and Peller.

Oh I don't fancy long line tbh, it's only for wearing with summer tops (if it was an occasion dress I would). I'm not sure I can go down a back size, even a 30 I can get my fingers under these days!

I've got this one from Bravissimo, which has been about the best one that I have had as it does give support. i have it in 30E which is my regular size and they do have a 28 back size if you need it.

I've got two by Fantasie that I love and they're a size smaller than I need (got them for my wedding years ago and grew a cup size after pregnancy) but still support great. I got one of the new Wonderbra 'hands' ones last year and it's okay and although it hasn't fallen down it does feel like it's about to just because of where the band sits on my body.

Oh I feel your pain on the back sizing. I'm a 28 or 30 and it's such a hassle.

I have the wonderbra hands one and really like it, very supportive.

The only issue might be because it's so moulded its probably too hot to wear with summer tops. In wearing a bandeau maxi dress today and have had it on and off a couple of times because I can decide if it's going to make me boil or not!

I'm also a 30, but an F cup and have never had a successful strapless bra - if you find one, do let me know....

Try fantasie or Panache I got a Panache one for a bridesmaid dress last year and its the best!

I don't have nearly such a small back - 34F - but I just got the Evie from Bravissimo (had a mega trying on session today). I don't really like moulded bras (why add bulk? plus I often feel my boobs move around too much in the cups) and this one has seams.
