DD needs a multiway, flesh coloured, clear strapped Bra - in an impossible size

Probably about a 28DD or 28E

She tried a 30D in M&s but it was padded & didn't really work

Any suggestions where I can get one from?

You can buy clear bra straps separately...that should up your options a bit.

VillaVillekulla · 01/06/2015 17:21

Yes, she could try a Freya deco strapless bra and buy clear straps separately to use with it. Or Debenhams do bras that fit the bill but starting in 30" back. I think they come up pretty snug on the strapless versions though so she might be ok. I'm not a fan of Debenhams bras in general but I find their strapless bras pretty good.
Oh, and the Wonderbra strapless bra comes up incredibly tight in the body IIRC. She could try that in a 30D. I don't think it comes with straps but I'm not sure she'd need them.

Another vote for Wonderbra ultimate strapless bra. Its the only strapless that has worked for me and def wouldn't need straps.
I am a 30ff but had to go up on back size as very snug, certainly suitable for a 28".

My first thought on reading this was the Wonderbra Ultimate Strapless too.

i have one in a 34D - my size is usually a 32E. It's very, very tight around the band. Holds me up all day -no need for any straps.

Warning: the first time I wore mine was on a hot day, and the silicone caused small blisters all the way around my body. After that first wear it was fine though. So break it in.

debenhams gorgeous range all come up tight. I have to get 32 in them instead of 30 without fail. I think debenhams might be your best bet

Dance direct?

Wonderbra ultimare strapless is great, it doesnt move and i am your daughters size. It is the only strapless bra i hsve had that works

Runningupthathill82 · 01/06/2015 19:25

This new one from Panache is great - you can buy clear straps separately, and they do a 28E:www.bravissimo.com/m/#products/lingerie/strapless-bras/porcelain-élan-strapless-bra/nude/pn126nud/

ShotgunNotDoingThePans · 01/06/2015 19:25

I'm sure Bravissimo do a 28 in band.

Littlepumpkinpie · 01/06/2015 23:07

Just brought a 28d multiway bra on ebay brand new with tags for myself. Freya, Panache, Curvy Kate all do multiway ones in a 28 back. Bravissimoo my local one can no longer supply me in bras only place I have now is ebay, bra stop, Belles lingerie are my to go bra shops.

Wittynewnameifonly · 01/06/2015 23:10

Brastop is very good for larger cups. I saw it on a thread here a month or so ago and have had several bargains so far in the Fantasie brand which fits me really well.

isntthatapippip · 01/06/2015 23:13

Bravissimo do a 28band

HazleNutt · 02/06/2015 09:16

As several others, I also vote for Wonderbra Ultimate - I find it tight in the back, so she could try the 30 back. And don't bother with straps, those clear ones are not invisible, and this bra does not need any straps to stay up - and I'm a G-cup.

Katymac · 02/06/2015 09:44

Thanks everyone - we will go & look at those

iwantgin I had exactly the same experience with the Wonderbra strapless. It caused big red blisters/welts which took ages to fade. I sent it back and complained. I've been a bit scared of the silicon strips on strapless bras ever since.

Debenhams - I just got a multiway white one in a 32ff so should have something similar for your dd.
