strapless bra advice

Jul 01, 2010 14:24

I need a strapless bra asap but I have 40DDD breasts. I have tried older LB models that just did nothing to keep the girls in place. Let me know where you have found success. I have too many dresses in my closet screaming for one. Thanks ahead of time!

What about a bustier instead of a strapless bra? I'm a 44 DDD and I use a Goddess bustier when I wear something strapless. Maybe you're looking for something more casual, though?

I send the goddess. And I am also a 40DDD. And I think the goddess bustier would be able to survive a bombing.

where did you buy it? I looked on bare necessities and they are only DD's

You would want F in this case (DDD is the same as F, Goddess doesn't use DDD).
You could also try http://ladygrace.com , for example: http://ladygrace.com/product.asp?pn=689
They have some others, too.
These definitely can be a little tricky to fit, since it needs to fit so many different parts of your body. If there's anywhere near you that carries them so you could try it in person I would recommend it.

I've found with strapless you sometimes need to change sizes from what you normally wear. I often go down a cup size and up a band size for strapless. It might be worth your time to take a bunch of different sizes, both up and down from your usual size, into a fitting room and give them a go.

i really like the LB bra6, but i'm not a DDD so i'm not sure my experience is relevant for you.

An alternative? xthexlonelyx1x July 1 2010, 21:50:50 UTC

How about wearing a regular bra with clear straps? Another option is buying or making straps that are so pretty, you want them to be seen. Like this: http://www.lovelyish.com/707725903/beaded-bra-straps-for-your-bra-amazing/ Ignoring the fact that all the models are skinny.

I've tried both of these options and love them, but if it has to be a strapless bra, then I'm afraid I haven't been very helpful :/

Go to http://www.herroom.com! I'm a 36F and found a fantastic Fantasie one I wear all the time. They have a nice selection of big-breasted and full-figured bras, complete with full measurements, views with overlays of different shirt collars, and reviews. I love that site.
