Black strapless top for the mightily breasted

[MamaVoo]

My first S&B post as I'm normally too knackered to care, but I'm going away for the weekend with a friend soon and want to look nice for a change.

I'm after a black strapless top, but not some flimsy boob tube effort as I have GG's and don't really plan to adopt the porn star look. Bravissimo don't seem to be doing one at the moment. Anyone know where I might find such a thing?

Is there a reason you are hankering after strapless? I am large of nork also and have had to face the fact that strapless bras never perform as well as you hope and you will end performing that very unattractive hitching motion all evening trying to keep them up

Hmmm, you may have a point FGT. I just remembered the Bravissimo one and thought about looking all elegant with nice black trousers and heels. Maybe halterneck then? I seem to spend my life in strappy vest tops and would like to feel a bit more glam.

Sounds like a bad move to me.
Go for something plunging instead.
Strapless never really looks good imho.

Yes agree with others that strapless not good on big boobs.

Do you have good shoulders and arms?

[gherkinwithapurplemerkin]

Don't do it - if you do find one it will fall down deffo. They only look good on the titchy of nork really. (30Js here so I know what I'm talking about)

quite like this

halter neck

Ok, so strapless is a no no. I shall hone my search accordingly.

Thanks for the links gherkin. I've bought the occasional thing in Wallis but don't think they're a very sexy shop on the whole. I want to be sexy godammit!

[gherkinwithapurplemerkin]

Might be surprised, mama; the shop is crappo but there are loads of VG stuff on website.

Tsk Tsk Mamavoo. YOu can't dismiss clothes because they are from the wrong shop!

[MamaVoo]

Alright, I consider myself told and will have a look at their website. I just find alot of the clothes in the shop can be a bit...{whispers) middle aged.

Have to disagree about discarding the strapless option, at least until you've tried the moulded Fantasie one.
It goes up to a G but it's generous in the cup and snug in the back so well worth trying the next band up in a G.

IME it doesn't move never mind fall down. Rigby & Peller also sell them if you want to pay over the odds

Yasmin Le Bon is doing a range in Wallis, new collection is out in Sept.

Shame about Bravissimo not doing one, I have a black one (bought before Xmas pre-DC) but I only have E/F boobs.
My friend had a JJ one and looked absolutely fantastic in a blimey how do they stay up way.

I wouldn't discount the strapless option but admit they are hard to work without looking slightly
