Where do you get measured? Go to Bravissimo to get a fitting. They have some strapless options for larger boobs. But to be honest I would never wear a strapless top with big boobs as I need the support of a proper bra for my own comfort.

ok - measurements are 39" under and 53 (!!) full. let me just do the thing...

This M&S one is great Best one I've found (and I've tried a few!) ..It doesn't look that attractive but really does the job of holding you in and up .. I'm a 36E (have had it as a 38E also) and have found it brilliant have worn it all day on several occasions including to work, with no slippage ..
Ive heard good things about the Next Jamie strapless minimiser bra also

Laska5772 · 19/07/2018 18:14

and I've always worn the M&S bra I linked to above without the optional straps

Orlandointhewilderness · 19/07/2018 18:15

woah - that cannot be right!!!

Your boobs hang 14 inches. Are you sure?

Bombardier25966 · 19/07/2018 18:19

(Not saying that in a mean way - I've got saggy boobs but nowhere near that!)

Orlandointhewilderness · 19/07/2018 18:22

I've purchased the Matalan seamless bandeau bras and they are amazing....wish I had got them years ago!

I’m a 34E and have always rated my Wonderbra ultimate strapless... I was scared because I thought Wonderbra were all about making them bigger but it turns out they’re pretty awesome at the kind of engineering needed Grin

Orlandointhewilderness · 19/07/2018 18:27

scribble i used to love wonderbras but unfortunately they don't go upto my size! serious structuring though!

I know what you mean orlando sadly I've yet to find anywhere cheaper for 30HH bras! In the past I've created my own halter neck bra by cutting and seeing the straps myself.Blush

Orlandointhewilderness · 19/07/2018 18:30

i was wondering about something maybe like a strapless basque/long line bra?! i have a strappy one that is fab for somthing everything out.

So that's more a 40h than DD?

Usernom1234567890 · 19/07/2018 18:40

Asda George have some in your size for £6/8 ....black or white v plain but functional. Will try to link

Usernom1234567890 · 19/07/2018 18:43

Oh no sorry BlushBlushonly goes up to 38DD (sorry)

DoreenGray · 25/07/2018 19:21

The M&S strapless minimiser mentioned above can be adjusted to a halterneck style, rather than just entirely strapless. I'm a 38D and wore it with the halterneck strap with confidence, didn't need to hoik it up once!
