I'm only a C cup but with a 36"back, but my strapless bra makes me look really busty. I hate it! How do you wear strapless bras that make you look bigger??!

I love halter necks but the strapless bra makes me
Look awful. Any suggestions?

What bra is it? A lot of strapless bras have a tendency towards making you look like you have a giant sausage for boobs imo - the WOnderbra Ultimate Strapless is very good for giving a more normal shape.

Thanks Statistically. It's a supermarket bra Blush which you can remove the straps from. I look bloody awful. Sausages is a good analogy Blush

it's a common issue!

Also, please don't be offended but have you been fitted recently? 36C is a really common "I've not been fitted/M&S fitted me" size... Lots of places have a dreadful fitting service which uses the old +4/5" guidelines resulting in too big a band and too small a cup.

Quick test - put your bra on back to front (I'm not nuts I swear!) and see how far away from your torso you can pull the band. More than 2" = wrong band size

Not offended Smile
That's really good advice. Thanks!
