Really good padded strapless bra?

I am size 8 everywhere, except my boobs....definitely underendowed in norkage.

This dress fits perfectly except for the couple of inches around my boobs, so I think a good padded bra would do the trick but I dont know where to start with looking for one. I have asked a couple of seamstresses (as it were) and the prices for altering are far more than it would cost for me to make more of what I have (too big bra and chicken fillets is my last resort).

Recommendations?

I bought my DD these from Amazon for her strapless prom dress

They were brilliant and went into the bottom of her Primark strapless bra

Oh that dress is gorgeous!

What about the wonderbra strapless with the hands wonderbra.co.uk/wonderbra-ultimate-strapless-bra

Thank you, looking at both now!!

The dress is indeed gorgeous although I am now googling how to remove creases from net and tulle as it is creased to crap thanks to the packaging! Thinking of hanging it in the bathroom for (another) week and if that doesnt work then putting the kettle on perma boil underneath it!

Can you just go to a department store and try on a load of bras? Bras are so hard to buy without trying a lot of options

Problem is that my band size is 30 or 32....most chain shops dont carry those sizes as standard anymore (believe me, I have looked!) so at best I might have 2 options to try on out of all of their bras....one of those might be strapless. So online is really my only option.
