Bra to wear with a vest top

[wherestheweightlosspill]

I feel like I’ve been looking for years. I’m a DD so need a proper bra, not bralette/strapless, but I hate seeing ugly bra straps. Does a bra exist that has plain straps ie not satiny or with the circle for adjusting showing, more like a bikini strap? Surely someone must have thought of this?

Bump 😊

Bravissimo have vest tops with built in bras.

I have one from Peacocks, of all places. Fine under strappy tops. I don't wear any others now. They're wireless with a chicken fillet (removable). Dirt cheap, too.

I'm an EE cup.

You could go with contrasting bra strap colour ( instead of trying to hide it). Embrace the strap ! Be Proud !

Been trying to paste a link. It's something like "Women's Seamfree Bra in White" - £5 - matching knickers and comes in black too.

I have a problem with gravity and strapless bras too.

I would avoid white or so called nude (I don’t own either) I think it just looks as if you have thrown the first thing on without thought. I always go for contrasting colours or black.

I have a blue bra about 18 months old, which has delicate red roses on the straps. I thing it’s a Panache but it might be a Freya. I always cut the labels off (I think bra labels sticking out look awaful) so not sure.

I’ve also tried a vest top with a built in bra. It was like wearing a corset. Maybe ideal for a winter day but best tops are for summer.

Correction: Vest tops are for summer.

MN, please give us an edit button!

Thanks all. I used to have vest tops from M&S with built in bra, they were brilliant, and one year they did them in loads of colours, pink, blue, stripes.... then just black, white, grey then stopped altogether . Most vest tops with built in bra are too fitted on the body for me (highlighting all the rolls and bumps) but the M&S ones weren’t. I’ll have a look at the Peacocks one, thanks. Wouldn’t you think they’d have come up with a good solution by now!

Is this it buggerthebotox? www.peacocks.co.uk/lds-seamfree-thin-strap-8b3032.html
If so does it give you a decent shape? If the answer to those two questions is yes I think I might love you! They even have bright colours, I’m really quite excited!!!!

I remember a time when the shops were selling bras with interchangeable pretty straps for summer e.g. see through and a floral. But it was a while ago now...

I sometimes just tuck the straps down the side myself.

@wherestheweightlosspill - if men wore bras, they would have come up with a solution by now.

As for clear bra straps, mentioned above, they glisten in the sunlight, No!!!!!!!!!!

I have this one for vest tops, ima 32E - it’s brilliant, the straps are hidden, it has good support and seam free.

Miniloso, that looks really good! I think I've been using the wrong terminology! I was searching racerback but it looks like they're called cross over! I'm a 32DD so very similar size to you. Thank you!!
I have bought some of the Peacocks ones (at £5 it's worth a punt) and I'm going to try that M&S one too.
Starlightlady, totally agree that re: men and clear bra straps (personally I think they look cheap and feel sweaty)
Thank you all!!

Yes those were the ones, I think. I needed size 6-8 (32E/F) as there's lots of stretch.

Good luck!

@wherestheweightlosspill 😁 Glad to help.

Ooh thanks buggerthebotox, I would never have ordered 6-8!
