Where can i get a good, inexpensive strapless bra with reliable measuring?

I'm trying on wedding dresses early in January and thought i'd probably need to get a strapless bra to try them on with. I've lost just over 5 stone so am struggling with fitting a bit - last time I measured myself, reasonably recently (using the bra intervention approach) I was in a 38E. Its a bit big across the back now, and i'm spilling out of the cups a little, oddly. Now I've measured myself again after a few weeks of good losses and i measured 37in under boob (last time 39, went down one) and 44 when leaning forward - does that make me a 36F? That seems enormous! So basically to cut a long story short is, where can I go and buy a strapless bra, and ask them to check this for me, in an accurate way? IE not Marks and Spencer! I'm guessing i'm going to need something fairly good quality and sturdy if its going to hold everything in place, but I don't want to spend too much as I am hoping to lose quite a bit more weight before the wedding. Thanks in advance!

Bravissimo for good fitting. Can always find your size then but discounted from eBay etc

I highly recommend wonderbra strapless as the best ever strapless bra though.

Thanks for that, I wondered about Bravissimo. I have a bit of time free over Christmas so I'll try and get to a store. A friend of mine is a similar size and has a Wonderbra shes going to lend me to try on tonight, so that should give me a good idea too.
