Best Strapless Bra?

14 replies

Lemonytrees · 16/07/2013 11:38

I'm wearing an asymmetric one shoulder dress to a party in a couple of weeks so need a strapless bra. I'm a 32 E (after a bra revelation in bravissimo!). The dress has quite a lot of space up top -so don't want anything that flattens me too much - or something I'm fiddling with all evening to keep in one place. Any suggestions?

TIA

Wonderbra ultimate strapless. The sizing is a little odd but it's an excellent bra.

Thanks. Was just looking at that one on figleaves - do you think I should try it on rather than ordering online?

Yeah, you must try IRL 'cause of the sizing issues.

I know I'm swimming against the tide here and everyone else loves the Wonderbra ultimate strapless but I have a problem with the silicon strip they use to make it stay up. I wore one on Saturday and it's left deep red, raised welts on my skin that are still there today (Tuesday). I'm now on the hunt for one that doesn't have a silicon strip.

Sounds like you've had a reaction Villa

SorrelForbes · 16/07/2013 15:27

Lemonytrees I second the Wonderbra Ultimate, it's fantastic. I'm a 30GG but bought a 32G which fits very well. You'll probably need to size up in the back.

Oh dear Villa! I think every strapless I have owned in the last few years has had a strip on it

MrsLettuce · 16/07/2013 16:48

How about an old school longline strapless?

shopafrolic · 16/07/2013 17:48

Watching with interest as I'm the same size as Lemonytrees

Panache superbra .

Stick on bra, love them!

IHeartKingThistle · 16/07/2013 19:23

That Wonderbra one is unbelievable - has weird 'fingers' to hold you up! Bloody works though!

VillaVillekulla · 22/07/2013 13:39

Hmm, not sure if it was a reaction or if it was just an unlucky combination of bra too tight (bought normal size online but it sounds like they're weirdly sized and maybe I should have gone up a back size), very hot day + silicone strip.

Amazingly I sent it back and complained and got a refund even though I'd worn it :)

I've got a looser Passionata one for £5.99 in T K Maxx. Seems ok but could do with being a smidgen tighter. I've also ordered a Pour Moi one. The hunt continues.

I agree the Wonderbra one gives good support and lift but I'm not going to be trying again
