I've a question for all the big heavy boobie fatshionistas. What do you do with halters, strapless, and tube tops to keep the girls from swinging low ( Read more... )

i'm a 42DD, sometimes DDD, depending on where the bra came from(*cough* lane bryant *cough*), and i also have fibromyalgia. mixing the two together makes *everything* hurt my neck, but halter tops are the worst. bleh.

anyway... what i do, and it really isn't much of a solution, is that i either sew the straps of the halter top to the back band, so it becomes some sort of fucked up version of a tank top, or i sew straps to the band and then to the halter, so it still looks like a halter, with less of it depending on my boobs for support. not exactly the best options, but it does work and i do get to keep my cute halters that i couldn't otherwise wear.

now if i could only figure out how to make jacket/vest collars not hurt, without having to butcher the clothes to pieces, heh.

and i blame my horrible grammar on the fact that it is 3AM. *nods*

haha, what? it's only midnight. ;)

i was hoping to avoid the alteration route because i'm really looking for the "bare back" look, yk?

*sigh*

i've completely given up on the bare back look and have settled for the somewhat-bare-but-not-really look, lol.

strapless bras are a joke. the only thing I've found to work are long line bras, not too comfy though. I've just given up on halter-style things.

i had to actually google image search "long line bra" to know what you were talking about. they look like corsets. if i'm going to wear a corset, it's going to be the showpiece of my outfit, right? not hidden under some stupid cheap halter top. ;)

They aren't as restricting as corsets, but still not terribly comfortable. I have one from my prom dress (oh, ten years ago now) but I only use it on special occasions. I don't think it's worth it for a cute tube top for just a day around.

I second the long line bras. I LOVE those. I have one from um...JC Penny's I think it was that I have had forever and a day. Check Frederick's of Hollywood too they usually carry bigger bras. Uum..I am brain dead so I'll think ofmore tomorrow.

I have just given up. The one time I wore a halter top and a halter bra was my senior prom. I had a red line cut into my neck for a week afterward. I'm a 36H though, so those boobies are damn heavy.

If you hear of anything good, let me know!

Wow, another 36H- Hello bewbie twin!

(although I think I might be a 38 or even a 40 now...)
