Hi ladies, just having a minor panic about finding a bra for our wedding day. I have been a 34JJ for last two years, went to get fitted in Brav!ss!mo today and have gone down to a 32JJ. So feckin annoying as I hate ye old chesticles anyway and am frantically searching for a good, supportive strapless bra for my wedding dress.

This is the search so far...

I bought a 32J strapless bra from a catalogue but it is horrendous! I have kept it as I was worried I wouldn't find one again but it has zero support, gives me madonna boobs and is so itchy (lacy bits on bottom).

Well, I went into my bridal shop today and asked whether it would change the shape of my dress, the woman told me not to worry as the dress is quite structured, I just needed something to support my chest and keep them in place...this bra WON'T do that!

She advised me to get the 'Evie' bridal bra (absolutely stunning) so I nipped across to Brav!ss!mo to be fitted due to losing weight (it never comes off my boobs) and sods law the 'Evie' bra only goes up to a H cup.

HOWEVER!!! The bra woman did say that BRAV!SS!MO would be bringing out their own branded strapless bra in larger sizes similar to the Evie one but it may not be until the Spring/Summer. Spring catalogue is already out and no sign of a larger strapless bra

I've emailed BRAV!SS!MO asking about it but waiting on a reply. Just thought I would share this with you more blessed ladies and also appeal for help in finding a great, supportive bra in my size! Can anyone help?

oh hun i wish i could .... not a problem i suffer with ....

Do you have a La Senza near you? They may be able to help and have a sale going on as I think they are going into administration. They have bigger cup sizes as well might find yourself a bargain. What about a bra that comes with transparent straps would that help?

lol, well i meant only an e cup in comparison to a JJ lol!!!!

Have you thought about a strapless corset??? Just thinking it might be the only option. I got the strapless support corset from asda, and its brilliant. It looks pretty, they have them in black and white, and they are lacy so not passion killers, they are really good a pushing in all my lumps and bumps the straps are multiway and come off completely and best of all its only £12.00. I wore mine at christmas under my strapless dress and got many compliments xxx Good look hun - I am an F cup x

I am an 36E cup......hence why i chose a dress with straps. strapless dresses are no friend of mine.

will post link on your wall. They work in waist sizes, but im sure if you email them and explain your bust / waist size they could offer you some advice.

Ooh sorry hun. I'll do that now. Thank you.

Thanks hun - off to have a mooch now.

I think a corset will be an excellent idea. Great support and will suck you in that little bit more! lol.

Stolen that link for myself too :). I'm a DD but they travel down rather than out :( A strapless bra would never be enough support but a corset will!

thanks girls. OWB I did think of that. There's a woman in Liverpool who does them so I may have to go there.

wow I am lucky if I am a 3o A haha! I must admit though I would prob prefer it this way incase they start to hurt but I always wanted bigger boobs. Lucky you x is it bravissio that do larger sizes? I am not sure given I obv never use them

Year Suzky - they do D - K cups.

Clare, I know, tell me about it..Was gutted too because there was loads of gorgeous bikinis and swimsuits in the sale at Brav...but still around £40, but I just didn't have the money to buy them and I'll be gutted when I come to need them and they're full price lol.

La senza website is down but i'm sure they don't go up that big...I'll go into a place in Liverpool at Easter and they can tailor braas to fit so may be able to make a larger, structured non-strapless into a strapless one.

Cool, I'll keep an eye on the site when it's back up (says it's under construction). I think there is a shop in Liverpool One though. Will have a mooch when I'm next in town.

See I just chose dresses that I liked, didn't think about the boobage then tried them on. Elimated them through being too low cut, spillage, restricting etc. Mine is strapless but it fitted so wonderfully even not in my size, so I may just be worrying for nothing but need to sort a back up

Sijen im the same as you. Iv been blessed with 34JJ, i luv my boobs but struggling to find ny bras for my wedding day :( did ask the bridal shop if i could go braless, they said it is a possibility with a corset style dress as it holds everything in but they recommend a bra for comfort x

Ooh nuisance but thanks Katie. Nope haven't tried the dress with the bra. I have just tried the bra on again and it's too big and just looks plain silly. Will have to find a new one and try it on nearer the time when hopefully I've lost some more weight (may go down another size - I'm hoping anyway).

Right ladies I popped into my local la senza today and they have been bought out so website should be back (hooray). However they will only be going up to a DD (boo). They are trying to sell all the stock off then will have new stuff around Autumn.

the new wonderbra with the hand like support is great and no lacey bits in sight! think they only go up to a J though :-(

Boooooooo now I won't be able to go in La Senza anymore as I am a 34E :( So will have to look around a bit more now.

Bridalmiss - how can you have missed Brav...I've been with them for 12 years and they've gradually gone up from biggest size being a HH to now up to K and L. Their dresses are fabulous too and fit so perfectly!

I have never been measured and I suspect a professional measurement will give me a different size - according to my own diagnosis I am an 36H - I ordered the Evie bridal one via Littlewoods and it was huge, I now own the 34H to have some more support. But I still don't find it enough and will wear see through straps with them as my dress has a tulle overlay on the shoulders. The shape of the bra is nice though - but I do like a quite pointy breast :-)
