My challenge to you is to find a bra in my size to go under....

This dress

I have been Googling all day and cannot find anything. I'm a 36H. My only reasonable option up to now is to buy the wonderbra ultimate in a 38FF.

I am desperate enough to risk venturing back to MN for the evening, steeled by Vodka of course . All strapless bras in my size are enormous full cup things that would show over the top of the bodice.

Alternatively I am happy to consider other size 18, in stock, flattering, wedding suitable dresses that are wearable with sensible hammock sized bras.

Please help. I need to order the dress soon. Wedding is in 2 weeks.

Lovely dress. Have you looked at the bra intervention threads on Style & Beauty board to make sure of the size you are looking for?

I found an ideal bra in Bravissimo, it was not as cheap as I would have liked though

[D0oinMeCleanin]

I bought my hammock sized bras from Bravissimo, who measured me at a 36H in both their swimming cossies and panache Evie strapless bras. I've checked their website and the only strapless ones they have in my size are the ones I already bought there, after reading the intervention thread, which btw, fit perfectly, thank you bra gurus. You made my holiday much more comfortable, although I was not so impressed with you when the resort entertainers used my bra as a hat and did consider standing up and informing everyone that my boobs weren't enormous, they were all just used to wearing the wrong sized bras

[FriedSprout]

Yep, I went from 36c to 32e and am very perky now - ta bra gurus

Sorry, not very helpfully finding you your bra am I?

[D0oinMeCleanin]

No, you're not, but nor was I

I was a 40dd pre bra guru threads. DH kept laughing at the amount of time I spent admiring my bosom in my new bras and swimwear . It's amazing the difference a good bra can make isn't it?

Have you tried the Wonderbra Ultimate in a 36 or 38G?

[D0oinMeCleanin]

It goes to a G? That would be better. I only looked on a few sites and FF was the biggest I could find, by the time I decided a smaller bra would be the best option I had been searching for hours and was fed up.


I will go to next big town and try one on tomorrow. Thanks.

Would this panache evie work?

[NotAQueef]

this one is not a full (I don't think) but not black

[NotAQueef]

oh ignore my post re panache evie [blush[ have read your posts properly now and see that you are already aware of that one.

[NotAQueef]

although the 36h panache evie is showing as 'low stock' rather than out of stock on figleaves.com

[D0oinMeCleanin]

The Evie is the one I already have and it comes right up to the top of my bust. The dress doesn't look like it would.

I wonder if I could dye that red one black? That would work. Although it looks like it has quite a low back, so maybe I could get away with red. I need more bras anyway, so will order it and see. If it doesn't work I will get the wonder bra.

[StatisticallyChallenged]

I'd definitely try the wonderbra. The sizing on it is quite far off for some people, mine are 32g and I'm a 30hh. not a perfect fit but looks miles better than any correctly sized strapless! there's also the Freya deco strapless which goes to a gg.

[marriednotdead]

Definitely worth trying the Freya Deco strapless in a 36GG, the top of the cup sits more 'open' so less quadboob even if it's technically too small.
