Fantastic strapless bras?

I have a bridesmaid dress to fit into in may, unfortunately my wonderbra strapless bra is too bulky to fit under it with the small amount of boning around the ribs of the dress. The dress is strapless, with a deep sweetheart neckline and a dip at the back.

I think I need a soft fabric cup with underwire maybe? To make things more difficult I'm a 34e-f and had a baby in dec so everything's a bit loose and going braless is not an option. Any ideas/recommendations?

Oh, I was going to suggest the Wonderbra one. It is the only strapless bra that feels supportive to me.

Hopefully someone else will come along with another suggestion.

Thanks anyway, it's the under the bust rib bit that clashes with the bones in the dress and stops it from zipping up.

I have the Ultimo one with the hidden 'hands' support. It is the only one I have found without horrible sticky rubber tape stuff to keep it up. I am a 34 GG and it works really well.

I was looking at that one. I'll go and try on tomorrow. Thanks.

If it's only the bit underneath (I have the Ultimate myself so I know he bit you mean, it's quite deep) then could you maybe still get away with a moulded cup? Maybe the Freya Deco Strapless?

Personally I've never found a strapless which works when it's not moulded for bigger boobs. It needs that extra bit of rigidity to hold em up!
