Hello lovely MNs- can you help please?

I tried on a dress yesterday.... wrong size...have ordered from website- it's Monsoon ( plain navy linen shift style). it has a lacy bit to the bodice , back and front,and showed the top of my bra cups and bra straps.

Now i always wear padded push up T shirt bras being a small 32C. What kind of bra should I get which doesn't poke above the lacy bodice, but still gives me some oomph?

I am hitting La Senza and M&S Oxford Street later. Was thinking of a flesh coloured balcony or maybe a strapless T shirt one.

Ideas?

I would have thought a balconette.

strapless balconnette I would say - the straps would show through the lace. try moulded ones, they give better support.

After spending hours in the shops I came back with one from M&S- it's nude, strapless or clear straps and moulded with push up bits.
Getting it on- 3 hooks at back- is a nighmare but after a while it feels comfy-ish.
Cost £22 which is almost half the cost of the dress :(

I need to wait and see if the cups show above the line of the lace bodice.

Otherwise I will exchange for one from La Senza which is laser cut and strapless and which i think would be okay- but they were sold out in my size in the shop.
