Tip of the day

Never ask a child IF they need the loo... moodlum

Quote of the week

CaptainNancy's (admirably succinct) family rules: "Don't be a dingbat/duffer. Keep calm and carry on. Dream big. Shut up and get on with it."

Recipe of the week

Carmenere's cinder toffee: sweet, sticky, made-in-five-minutes toffee squares that'll spark off a few 'yums' among the 'oohs' and 'aahs' of your little fireworks-watchers.

I got mine in Matalan and although I am a 34F I can usually get away with a 36DD in strapless bras.

I checked them out mrsM - they look good smile

micku5 - The wonderbra one looks good - shall find one tomorrow.

I would love to give it a go - never done backless before!

Sorry- the Figleaves link didn't work properly- if you go to the home page and click on Bras you can then select Backless- they have laods.

i was going to suggest the same as feedthegoat, but doesn't sound suitable.

personally as someone with a similar sized chest it doesn't sound a goer! (although I have breast fed for 2 years which has undoubtedly aided my migration south!)

Have you tried the wonderbra multi plunge? It has lods of different combinations including a converter to make it low back.

Oooh, quite like the Bravissimo one - I shall visit the local lingerie shop tomorrow and see what they have to offer.

Thanks for the advice

You can put clear straps on the Ultimo one, or they have a backless/strapless basque

I used one of these to convert a bra for my low backed wedding dress. I had the added problem of needed something that wouldn't show up from the front and this was the only solution I could find. Hardly sexy wedding night stuff but it did work!

I goes quite low at the back - a normal bra would be seen and the straps are very fine.

I think I am talking myself out of it now!

Oops sorry, didn't realise Cmot posted the same one blush

Bravissimo?
Add message | Report | Contact poster By Fri 03-Jul-09 20:38:55
how low is it? completely backless or just slightly lower than a normal bra?

Have you looked at the obvious- M&S, FIgleaves,La Senza, Rigby and Peller?

How about the Ultimo backless ?
Add message | Report | Contact poster By Fri 03-Jul-09 20:22:59
I have a wedding to go to at the end of July and have seen a lovely back-less dress from Reiss but I dont want to go bra-less (I am 34dd so dont want them loose!).

Does anyone know what the options are - I usually stay away from this type of dress but I would like to give it a go smile

Thanks
