Wedding Forum - Strapless bras...

I have a bra question ladies please, I am size 34GG or H depending on the style. Today arrived some strapless bras, so i tried them on....one fits the cup well, meaning i have no 'squidge' from the top or sides, and the bra don't wiggle or slip when i dance around the bedroom! BUT......its all it does, there is no 'uplift' at all. Is this what strapless bra's do in my size??

Now my dress, is strapless tie up back, so can go as tight as i like (hopefully with no back squidge) do i have the bra to keep myself in....and the dress to 'shape' me? or....do i need the bra to work miracles?..there are only a few few bras i can wear in my size strapless and the others are not fitting the cup well enough. I think i am due to go in for a fitting soon and need to get this task sorted out lol xx thanks xx

Have you looked at any of the bras of wonder (if you get my drift) as I think they are doing bigger sizes now. I am a 32E and they had one in my size but they are made to uplift so might work if you can get one? If not a corset is probably your best bet xxx

I am a 34FF, and I found the perfect bridal strapless bra ever, he really holds me, but dont squash and makes my b**** look good, if you want a link let me know.

Thanks for your replies ladies . . .please can I have that link hun :-)
I am already a customer of bra vis I mmo. Fi gle aves. Naturally yours and tried sen za but iits the ssame situation ll round I'm afraid :-( x

I'm a 34FF, and I got the Panache Evie bra last week, for a strapless I felt really supported and had some lift! I went to a bra viss store and got re-measured there so have a look to see which stores are near you, plus the bra was a bargain at only £25, I usually pay over £30 to hold in my boys! Plus I usually wear a 38E but turns out my back size has come down a treat!

My dress has some structuring and the ladies in the shop said it was ok as long as i had a bra to 'keep me from straying' i think the bra i have does that. but offers no shape at all. I put the dress on with just a normal bra and tucked the straps in and i think it was alright (the dress was a bit small so my acrual dress will have more fabric at the front also which i think will help! aarrgghhh to be endowed! grrr

I have just taken delivery of 3 different sizes of the panache superbra! they look enourmous!! lol

Ps I know what you mean about being enormous, I've got some ultimo ones and they look like childrens hats!!

Thank you for the link Future Mrs Double, theat Bra looks lovely - i have emailed and asked if it comes in gigantic!?!

They would make a fortune outta me if they did! x

Hi Hun,

Apologies if someone else as written this, haven't read all comments. The bra I'm getting for my 32e size chesticles is an Evie bra. I've read really good reviews on it, I'm getting it but leaving tickets on it till after my fitting as I might be able to go bra less. If so I'll send back.
My boobs are also a bit saggy so we'll see, can't imagine them being completely nakey underneath lol xxx

No problem hun :) xxx thanks for your comments xx

sadly they only go up to a g cup x

I have always been 'different sizes' in different styles of bras ive even had the girls at the bra visimmo shop stumped! For me the evie bra was totally useless, didnt hold up or even down lol...i think im ok now, will know more when i take the 'hamock' with me for my fitting. it defo holds the bad boys in place - just hope that the dress can do the rest lol xxx fingers crossed xx

i have a Naturally close. it has the rubber at the top of the cups aswell which really helps to keep me 'in' x

yes i also thought about that, but may have trouble with that showing through my dress :( xx such a pain isnt it! wish i could just go into a normal shop - pick one off the peg and say that'll do me! xx ggrrrr even with weight loss i havent gone down any cup sizes - just loads of inches on my back x

hmmm this is just it....not sure if i am in the right place....but im certainly not moving or trying to 'fall out' anywhere...which i guess is good :) x

yes im hoping so too xxx

Hi girls

This morning I have received an elomi occasions basque... and I'm absolutely over the moon! After trying all sorts of bras that made my b00bs look squashed/didnt support me at all or dug in, I got my elomi one through, tried it on and although it's a bit big (I went up a couple of back sizes due to it being a basque and me not being skinny) it's wonderful! The cups are boned so even tho my saggies were in there, they were lovely and rounded, it was comfy and supported perfectly despite being too big! Just to change for a smaller size but I'd highly recommend! x

ohh thanks for that! ...off to google.... xxx

Ooh they don't go up to my size ;o(

this is proving to be a right pain in the ar$e...I've just gone back onto Brav!ss!mo and ordered the Evie bridal basque and bra to try on in a the largest cupsize they do, I just went up in the back size as well which is an obscene way of doing it and it annoys me when others do it but I caved and panicked... Will just have to see how it fits.

Kevs angel - you're welcome!

Sorry... just back on today and seen the questions sijen, it is annoying that you need to go up on the back size, I was just over the moon with the support and shape!

clbronze - good luck x

Just me whos going bra'less then :/ lol im a 36F but with the hidden support & bones in the dress i dont need 1, its also a corset back. I tried it on with both a bra & it without & did prefer it without. Is this an option for you ladies?

Xxx

Mrscarter2b - I have been fitted in Brav!ss!mo - it's the only shop I go to as they stock my size I was 34JJ but have lost 2.5 stone and now down to a 32J. Their strapless bras only go up to a H cup and it may work as the one I've bought (34J - due to that being the smallest back size) is ridiculous, no support and gives me big madonna boobs lol.

36F here and i found that the new hand style wonderbra's were the best they go up to G and even H cup i believe, well worth popping into Debs and trying them as they have a nude and ivory lace pattern and nude with black lace pattern.
