Bra Guru's can you help me find a bra for this dress?

I am off to a wedding soon and (on the advice of MN) have purchased this absolute bargain dress.

www.houseoffraser.co.uk/The+Department+Sleeveless+structured+woven+dress/176361116,default,pd.html

It arrived, it fits (even in my bloated post hen night state) and looks gorgeous. I just need a bra to squeeze my boobies into a semi decent state!

I've used the guide on the bra threads and have measured myself. I am 34 round my back and 45.5 so will need a GG or H cup I think. I prefer plunge or balconette styles and would love some recommendations.

Thanks

Does it accomodate a normal bra - i.e. doesn't flash the straps or the back?

Measurements suggest a 34H/HH - what are you wearing now? At that size range, I like the Bravissimo Satine as a plunge, and the Cleo Juna is a very well regarded balconette.

Ooh, I'm awaiting delivery of that dress. Is it the new scarf?

glenthebattleostrich · 04/08/2013 18:12

It covers all straps, but it pushes boobies up though, so a full bra doesn't work. I've lost a bit of weight lately (another reason I need some new undies) so have gone from a 36 J.

Thanks for those recommendations SC, I'll have a look now.

Glaikit, the dress is amazing. It took me from a sack of potatoes with lardy bits pushing out everywhere to a sleek hourglass, pulling everything in and pushing up but with enough give that it feels comfortable. I love it.

It's a lovely dress but sold out in a 12. I daren't risk a 10 with my hips and boobs!

It is very fitted, so I wouldn't risk a smaller size. I am only just a 14 and think I need to drop half a stone to do it real justice.

It's a big fat meh, from me for it. I'm totally the wrong shape. Winging its way back to HoF now.

Damn, still need a dress for this bloomin wedding.
