I have this top www.asos.com/ASOS/ASOS-Top-With-Sexy-Cowl/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=2645884&SearchQuery=cowl&Rf-700=1000&sh=0&pge=1&pgesize=36&sort=-1&clr=Pinkybrown

The armholes are quite large, so I need a strapless or racer back bra that won't show at the sides. I'm a 32DD, but I don't look it, so padding would be nice! Budget up to £35. Thanks!

The best strapless bra out there is the Wonderbra Ultimate.

First things first though, are you sure you're a 32DD? That's still a fairly small cup size (relative the band of course) and would equate to measurements of 32/36.

Yep, I agree re the wonderbra ultimate. I am a 34F and find it fantastic.

Ihatemytoes · 11/09/2013 06:36

I'n definitely a 32DD. My measurements are indeed 32/36. I've looked at the Wonderbra,, but it looked quite bulky. How does the sizing come up on them?

I have the Wonderbra ultimate and it's amazing. Gives great support and shape/cleavage without flattening . Comes up quite tight so around the band so would definitely try a few on for the perfect fit.

LetMeAtTheWine · 11/09/2013 07:29

Yep, think I had to go up a size on the band from what I remember. Doesn't look bulky on, or at least I don't think it does Smile

Part of the reason the wonderbra looks bulky is that the bottom of it sits lower than a traditional bra. It is actually lower cut than most strapless bras and about a billion times better. Try sizes around your normal - whether you go up or down or stay the same varies hugely, I think due to breast shape. I'm about a 30H/HH and have a 32G. I'd probably try the 32D/DD/E and a 34D to start and see what works

... and if you go to the wonderbra website and order directly, they have them for a tenner off currently. Or a red one for £12

Thanks everyone.

I'm a 30GG and found the 32G the best fit for me.

I had a similar problem with a dress which was low cut round the arms and I found that you could still see the wonderbra ultimate. The best one i found was the lepel strapless in nude which you can get on amazon for £16. I also have a calvin klein racer back bra which is great for plunge(?) tops although you might see it at the arms!
