Best strapless / low back bra

Hi everyone - I need a good bra recommendation!

I'm a 32D and need a reasonable amount of support as 3 dcs and the usual gravity affecting those in their late 30s have taken their toll...

It's so I can wear this:

Yes, I know it's linen and I will look like a bag lady rather than a sophisticated laydee the minute I sit down but it is seriously boiling and I need need need soe fresh air around my nethers. Thanks!

The wonderbra strapless bras are really good. I didn't like the look of them, as they're quite thick and padded, which you don't need with big boobs, but very supportive and stays in place. Not sure if the back goes low enough to work with that dress, but you can try.

like BoBoo said, this is a very good strapless bra but I doubt it's low enough.

They do them in Debenhams if you're anywhere near one, then you can take into the changing room with a similar dress.

They are 10 pounds off on simply yours at the moment

DinahMoHum · 25/05/2012 09:29

theyre reduced in debenhams for the next few days too. Down to £26 i think. I tried one on yesterday as ive had a back tattoo and cant have straps but it felt so bulky i didnt get it

Agree it's bulky, but think that's probably the reason for it's staying power. I'm a D cup and other strapless bras I've had seem to 'drop' after you've had them on a while or I've always been pulling at them. This stays put. But I think you're going to struggle to get any bra to wear with that dress and support a d cup.
