i found the back just right but i am more of a 34 than a 36 to be honest so that could be why and everyone has one big boob and one small one its perfectly normal, really good bras tho just a shame about the rest of the blooming range

Bra update...
Hi ladies - thought i would let you know of my weeks achievements.....lol
I ordered the elomi occasions basque - lovely....come up quite big tho - so need a smaller back size...just need to swap that over but really great support:)
Also today went to Bra vis simo tried a handful of bra's and 2 basques...the woman automatically said to me..."you're not that size!" lol....turns out after trying a few i thought were my size she was bloomin well right! I am a 32H...i have been trying 36GG/G sizes..... i felt so much better in the smaller size back and bigger cup. Maybe a thought to anyone else having similar issues to what i was having - try a smaller back bigger cup to see if thats what needs to be done :) xxx

glad youve got it all worked out! im the opposite notoverly big but need somekind of corset to push me up! if any one knows of any please let me know ;) xx

Have you tried the wonderbra new ones with the hand technology? xx
I am a 36E and strapless bras are no friend of mine. the thing i find is that my boobs are too heavy to be held in a strapless bra, so thats why I have chosen a dress with straps so that I can wear a proper bra....I cant risk letting the girls out!
I can resist anything but temptation
CommentAuthorBrideInTraining
no but i will have a look now ;) xx

My dressmaker told me that if your dress is boned and corsetted you should'nt need a bra.

RaggedyAnne - what about a strapless basque, I cant wear the bra's for the very same reason, but the basque has alot more going on structure wise :) Yes my bridal shop did say aslong as i have them 'under control' the dress will and should do the rest so will get alot more uplift once the dress is on i am hoping :) x
CommentAuthorJill
Yay! Glad it's good for you too hun x great to know they're held in so that the dress doesnt have to do it isnt it?
Anne mine were the same but that elomi basque is brilliant and mine are big and saggy - it makes mine look great lol x

well ladies I put my 'wonderful' strapless bra on to have my dress fitting and go shopping the other day - it felt lovely in the shop when I bought it, really comfortable, but when I put it on and actually had to wear it for a few hours...I could barely breathe, it was digging in my boobs, in fact I went to the toilets and took it off after a few hours and just went bra-less for the rest of the day! SO all in all I'm hoping the seamstress does an amazing job with my dress and somehow transforms is so that I don't actually need to wear a bra!! fingers crossed otherwise I won't actually be able to sit or eat on my wedding day! haha

i asked in the shop about additional support and she said to get a corset, so hopefully will go down that route

i have the same problem im a size 38 E and never can find a strappless bra i did try on one of the wonder bras that had loads of support in it but i couldnt breath in it as they only go up to a 36 so was very tight on me but had i been a smaller size it would have been perfect. i did eventually find a strapless my size on fig leaves of something like that its called. and i wore it for my dress fitting and it gave me the bulges under my arms...not nice lol anyway the woman suggested i went without a bra as the dress is already shaped and has loads of support in it so i did and it looks so much better without the bra no bulges or anything, didnt even feel like i wasnt wearing one either x

The wonderbra ultimate strapless go up to a 40 back, I usually wear 38F in normal bras but the cups on these were too big (amazing support though! Went on the wonderbra site and used their measurement tool, said I was a 40B (!!) so have re-ordered a 38C and D so will see how that goes :-) look on debs site and also brastop :-)

Braviss!mo have just brought out their only strapless bra above a H cup.
I had a completee nightmare with my bra situation - I'm a 32J and could not get a decent bra to support me...I ended up getting a 30J normal bra - it fitted perfectly. I cut the straps off and although it didn't keep my boobs in place without my dress on, my dress was so structured you couldn't tell and they didn't slip the whole day..even after dancing!
