Please talk to me about strapless bras.

I have a very small bust- think 30c/d depending on the make- so technically not in need of a bra, but after having BF 6 kids and the are not what they once were.
I have recently bought some Bardot style tops, they really suit me, but I think I need to invest in a strapless bra.
Maybe bra straps with Bardot tops are ok I don't know?
Anyway could someone give me the low down one what is good and actually stays in place please?

Wonderbra ultimate. It’s the best one by a mile and I’m sure others will agree

Thanks
Do they come true to size?

Slightly tight in the band so I size up band wise

Yep, wonderbra ultimate. It will feel like your ribs are being crushed BUT it gives brilliant support and lift and actually stays in place. I'm a 34J for reference.

You could also sew some little bra strap holders into your tops - a loop of ribbon with a popper on it, which holds your bra strap and stops it showing at the neckline

That's a good idea! thanks. Will check out the bra- might be a good investment. I haven't really got anything to hold up but with out a bra holding up what I have left it doesn't look good!

any of them?

BoswellsBollocks · 26/02/2019 19:14

The best one I’ve ever had was one from New Look, fits perfectly, great support without showing at all, and it was only £1 in the sale!!

IHeartKingThistle · 26/02/2019 19:20

Yep Wonderbra, but it kills me getting it on! I'm a 32E and can dance all night in it though.

I would kill for small boobs

That linked worked thanks. Sadly they are for women who have breasts and are not just pretending- like me 😮😮

Sandra click on the make Demara in the link - they do loads of types of strapless, i just liked that one as it has that moulded shape.
