Bra with wide back straps

Hi folks

Can anyone recommend a bra that has wide side and back straps!? I have gained a bit of baby and lockdown weight and my bras are making that overhang thing happen at the back. I wear a 38F so need quite a bit of support too.

You mean like a longline bra with more hooks? Freya has several models that come in this size www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2380057.m570.l1313&_nkw=freya+longline+38f&_sacat=0

Yeah my M&S ones do.

It's the Wild Blooms style. Thick straps, good back coverage. Look like nothing on the hanger but hoiks you up about 2 inches. I absolutely love them.

If the back bit of your back has grown, bit not your cup (mine did in pregnancy), then you can buy bra extenders. Think i got mine from mothercare and amazon. Cheaper than new bras.

If you like st the details section for each bra on the Bravissimo website it gives details of the number of hook fastenings.

In my view bra extenders will give a disproportionate increase and the whole thing would be unlikely to hold you well.

I got a minimiser from Miss Mary of Sweden. It's really deep at the back... 5 hooks plus extra panels under the arms which stop all the back fat overhang.
