I'm currently in a 34F thanks to you lovelies, though as I continue to lose weight I'm suspecting I may have changed again. I'm getting married in under a fortnight and was going to reassess next week! But I need some styling help.

All my bras have a lot of material under the arm pit (not in the arm pit, but that region) which means that you can see the bra material quite clearly sticking out in the under pit region of my dress.

Can you point me in the direction of a way to see less material? Are there better types for this? Or is this a sizing issue? Or am I going to have to suck it up and find a nude bra?

Can you link to your dress - might make it easier if we can see the shape of it?

That would have just made sense wouldn't it. Doh!

I see what you mean - it is cut quite low. I'd probably try a Bravissimo Satine (a plunge which I find is a little lower underarm and comes in cream) and the Wonderbra Ultimate Strapless (also available in cream)

The Satine runs slightly small in the cup. The Wonderbra sizing is a bit nuts so try several around your normal size but it does give good lift.

Brilliant - thank you statistically

Ironically when I first tried this dress on I didn't have this issue. But that was when I was wearing a very unflattering M&S measured 38DD.

Just to say thanks again statistically

Got into town to try on a wonder bra and I think that's just going to be the business. The tip about their funny sizes really helped too, as thanks to it I grabbed a couple of sizes I may not have thought of trying. And it was one of those that fit best. Very weird bra though.

I also resized myself, and treated myself to a couple of new ones. Popped into m&s and tried a couple on in there too, and there is so much material underarm. Is that an m&s thing?
