Strapless Bra Help Please

Help - I need a decent strapless bra for a bridesmaid dress. I don't have many requirements - no padding, doesnt matter what colour it is as you cant see any of it, not one of those multiway jobs as I don't think they do anything effectivley. I dont want flat boobs either.

I'm a 38C. Any ideas?

OK, first things first. Are you absolutely sure you're a 38C. Can you measure yourself as per this guide and post the measurements here?

Secondly, most strapless bras have some slight moulding/padding.

The best one out there is the Wonderbra Ultimate Strapless. The sizing is a bit odd but if we can help sort out your core size (see above!), we can then suggest some sizes to try for this particular bra

Wonder bras are apparently fab but weren't for me. The lady in the bra shop measured me and let me try loads on but wonder Bras just weren't for me. she commented that my boobs were quite high up- I can only think she meant "start quite high up" because they definitely finish very low down. I always wear a 36 D but the strapless bra I ended up with was a 32 G , OMG!!! I was aghast!!! But it fits really really well.

The only strapless bra that works for me is the Wonderbra Ultimate also.

It really does stay put.

tip: wear it a couple of times prior to the event, as the first time I wore mine the silicone band rubbed my skin and gave me blisters.

I am (now) a 32E, but my wonderbra was purchased when I thought I was a 34 C.. It fits well enough.

Thank you all, will measure myself tomorrow. I think that's right but admittedly haven't been measured in a long time. Am still haunted by the M&S fitter who told me I needed a 40EE in a nursing bra, just in case my boobs grew - you could have fitted 3 people in it!

Chances are if an M&S fitter told you a 40 - you're not a 38. Probably a 34, maybe 36. They tend to be veeeerrrry wrong
