Bra straps

I have a strapless dress that I want to wear for a black tie do. However I need to wear it with straps due to large boobs the dress has loops for straps. I cannot find plain black thin straps anywhere. Can anyone help please?

ribbon instead? take the dress with you to try and get as close a fabric match as possible...

THey say the wonderbra strapless job is amazing on big norks. Even properly big ones. Just a thought.

Thin straps might not help much if you have splendidly large boobs. I'm 34F and wore a strapless bra with a 'low back converter' as the back of the dress was quite low... see here

A decent strapless bra would probably give you as much support as a thin strapped one I suspect. These go up to H cup so might be worth a look?

get a decent strapless bra. the straps should not be the main support for your boobs. If they are, thin straps will be crap and dig in and hurt. Try bravissimo for strapless bras in bigger sizes. I am a 30E and about 5 years ago gave up on garments that don't allow me to wear a normal bra. So much more comfy and I feel so much more confident when out knowing that nothing will pop out.

I didn't think I would ever have a strapless bra as I thought they were hopeless for bigger boobs (ff) Then someone on here recomended this and it is amazing.

I would buy a decent strapless bra and maybe also some of these for peace of mind.
I have some and they had many compliments (which I thought weird- but good for a bra strap!)
