Invisible bra

That's what I need!

I found something which I thought would work; it's two weird silicon things which stick to your boobs and then you can do it up in the middle to encourage cleavage, iyswim.

It might have worked but I found that being a c cup in a bra wasnt' the same as a c cup in this, and the thing just hung on my breast pointing at the floor and was too small.

I need a bra without straps, or with invisible (or nearly invisible) straps, which will stop my breasts pointing at the floor, and also ensure that they don't flatten out when I'm wearing a top like this. (Not that I want that particular one, but I've been given a couple which are gathered like that and I'm completely flattened by them!)

Please help me! I want to keep my boobs this summer.

a top like that doesnt need an invisible bra.

what size are you? years ago, i bought some sticky things that i stuck on around my breasts because the dress i was wearing had some cutwork detailing that meant every bra i posessed would show through and i was too big to do the bra less look. got them in the underwear section of alders. worked brilliantly.

I seriously think you need a proper bra fitting tbh. A good skintone strapless in the right size won't squash you and will give you the boost you want. Try a smaller back with a bigger cup size (or 2). You have to be almost flat for those stick on things to work, and they don't DO very much- a pair of plasters my friend calls 'em...

Jux - is it those stick on cups you're thinking about?

If so - stay away! Horror story ready to be unleashed if 'tis...

It was indeed those stick on things, but they didn't fit me; not even close!

I want a sort of invisible bra, not simply because I don't want straps to show in strapless dresses, but I need something in those smock-top type things because if I don't wear a bra with them then I'm rendered flat as they squash everything I've got, and I'm too big round the bum to look in proportion when I'm flat up top.

I shall go for a fitting next time we're in the city, there's nowhere in town that does it.

KatieKitty, do tell

I find a seamless skintone bra is practically invisible.

That top could be worn with a normal t-shirt, smooth cup, nude colour bra.

Katie... come on with the horror story!

I've got one of these, yes from Amazon, and they are precisely the size that you expect them to be and plenty of adjustments on the shoulder straps. I've got the c-cup too and it's spot on

It wasn't actually that top, by the way. I really meant to show the smocking but picked a stupid picture to illustrate.

The clothes I've been given are more like this or this.

WitchShoesToWear, that looks just the thing. Is it really that yellow, though?

Moondog, I'm googling seamless skintone bra, now.

Thanks everyone.

oi, no it's not yellow!
(nor am I)
it's fairly nondescript pinky skin colour.
