Bras with discreet straps for large of nork

I am so fed up. I'm a 34gg. Cannot find a bra anywhere that doesn't show the enormous, attractive shoulder strap and part of the cup.
I'm not comfortable in strapless - can anyone recommend a brand like this?

Triumph isn't glamorous but their bras are so comfortable for everyday. I don't think the straps are huge either. Panache is another good option, especially if someone else might see them!

Sometimes it’s easier to add something to the dress or top you want to wear with the bras that fit nicely so that you can attach the dress straps to the bra straps so that they stay covered.
Sometimes having a bra in a colour that perfectly blends with or compliments the dress can work - so you see the straps but assume they belong to the dress not the bra.
The masses of spaghetti strap tops and dresses in the shops at the moment make me want to cry because there is no way in hell I can wear them unless I sew on new thicker straps of some kind.

For tops of cups being visible : plunge bra for deep vs. balconnet bra for scoop necks. Full cup for anything highish for a smooth line. Sometimes the problem is that the straps on the dress/top are too long and it can be fixed by shortening them slightly.
It can help to take your favourite tops/dresses bra shopping with you so you can figure out what bra works with what outfit.

I'm 34H and have a couple of balconette ones from Scantilly, the cups don't show and the straps are normal thickness rather than industrial type strapping.

I agree this is annoying but I guess thin straps can cut in to shoulders.

I have found that bikini tops and also vests with built in bras sometimes have thin straps (if they go up to big enough sizes that is)
