Bra(lette) for wearing under strappy tops

What do you wear under strappy tops? I am 38E so can’t get away with wearing nothing, and have never found a strapless bra that doesn’t fall down. I like to wear very comfy, bralette type yoga tops on a daily basis but they obviously look very obvious under thin straps!

Have seen these on Amazon but not sure if they would work for my size (10/12, but with big boobs and a wide chest) www.amazon.co.uk/Voqeen-Seamless-Bandeau-Bralette-Camisole/dp/B087BWW9FF?tag=mumsnetforu03-21

You're very unlikely a 38 back if you're a 10/12. That's probably also the reason your bras fall down. Find the Boob or Bust page on facebook and re-measure.

There’s no way you can be a size 10 and wear a 38 bra. The wrong size is probably why you are having strapless bra issues. Measured properly I’d bet on you probably being more like a 34G or similar. Agree with PP you need to do Boob or Bust.

I have this from Delimira at Amazon. I’m a 32G (I agree you are probably wearing the wrong bra size) and the last thing I want is a padded structured bra adding more bulk to my chest. These are soft, minimising and very comfortable - and they don’t fall down. You need to measure yourself properly though.

Ok noted everyone about measuring myself! I’ve lost a bit of weight but not changed my bras so that is probably contributing too. I still have the problem of big boobs and strappy tops though! Do strapless bras work for others?

Thank you for the tips @ApplyWithin - they look good

Yes, the Wonderbra Ultimate will not slide anywhere. It fits tight, so you might need to go a size up from your Boob or Bust recommendation.

KatharinaRosalie · 09/06/2021 10:31

did you have a chance to measure yourself? I'm a size 10-12 and wear a 30 bra, so I would expect you end up with a similar back size.

I wear a normal bra with a contrasting pretty strap. I'm not particularly big busted but I've never found a strapless bra that works and is comfortable all day

If you are a 10/12 you are a 34 at the most. Try 34 G and see how you go.

At last, someone says a 10/12 could be a 34 back, most on here think we should wear a 32 or 30.
