Racerback bras

11 replies

Has anyone seen a racerback bra? I'm (frankly astounded still after a bra intervention) a Freya balconette 30E/ 32DD and looking for a matching bra and proper pants, not thong set. Black or a solid colour, cotton or a bit frilly.

Thanks!

They are usually advertised as multiway bras. Try figleaves.

Gah pressed send too soon - a multiway won't be a proper racerback, but you can wear the straps crossed on the back, so they won't show under racerback clothes. Alternatively, there are also racerback clips that allow you to use your normal bras - like this

I've looked everywhere for what you are searching for (in exactly same size too).....and given up.
I just decided to go for the strapless bra and cross-over the straps if I need to. I did find some nice bras and thought about the racerback clips you can get from places like New Look and Debenhams.

victoria's secret do them but not in a 30 back, they start at 32 back.

ive been looking everywhere for one in a 30dd but no such luck.

I use my normal bra with straps lengthened and tie string around the middle of bra where the arms go through and pull the string and tuck in ifyswim? Bonus is its free!

What about this www.amazon.co.uk/Racer-Back-Bra-Clip-Perfect/dp/B004X6665A

This one has a racerback option...?

The Victoria secrets racerback bras are fantastic. Imo they are quite small in the band so could be worth trying some on? A multiway is just not the same!

fairgame · 04/08/2014 21:40

Im a 30 back and spent ages in victorias secret trying all their 'small band' 32 backs after they convinced me they would fit. None of them did. Its a shame coz they are nice bra's and good quality.
I can't be doing with them clips they are too fiddly.

todayisnottheday · 05/08/2014 01:49

What a shame, I don't understand why they don't do a 30 tbh. It's a pretty standard size isn't it?

because VS also believes that you have to add 5 inches to your underbust measurement.
