There are 4 at Bravissimo. But which one is best?

Can't remember the brand of mine but it has quite soft cups and not the tough moulded ones. It's fabulous.

cornsilkwearscorsets · 25/11/2009 23:06

Look at the label! I hate the moulded ones.

The label Frakkin - the label!

I've just dug through the laundry pile to find this...it looks like it's from Ultimo but is slightly faded so can't be completely sure.

frakkinaround · 25/11/2009 23:33

Oh and I have a confetti one for my wedding dress but that's not quite as supportive as the ultimo one.

cornsilkwearscorsets · 25/11/2009 23:35

Ultimo - thankyou! (I started a thread in your honour!)

I missed that because I was digging through piles of laundry (and it was arranged neatly on my floor instead of in the laundry bin/the clean laundry basket/the sorted laundry pile where it should have been)!

cornsilkwearscorsets · 25/11/2009 23:45

Okay I will bump it!

really had misgivings abotu it but gived a better shape

Hi there. I have a Panache one from Bravissimo that is awesome. It is moulded, but not too stiff, and comes down lower between the boobs. It is really comfy too. I bought it in natural and black.

Hi I have a quite large bust 30G and the best bra is the wonderbra ultimate strapless bra it is totally amazing my boobs are very saggy and they look really perky and it gives me a cleavage google it and watch the video , it works as it says it will promise (can you tell I like this bra :0

toppoptart · 26/11/2009 20:39

Oh dear got over excited there and forgot all my punctuation sorry

Ronaldinhio · 26/11/2009 20:42

I can't wear a strapless bra as I have huge norks and no matter how good the bra they are simply better served by strapped support

joists winches etc etc

sorry

VengefulKitty · 26/11/2009 20:44

30G?!?!?! Cor!

toppoptart · 26/11/2009 20:59

VFK not as huge as they sound honestly Ronaldinhio try it, i couldnt wear strapless stuff for years till i tried this!!

Ronaldinhio · 26/11/2009 21:06

alright you go my strapless hopes up but they don't do it in an H cup
goddamn zeppelin tits (should that perhaps be my new name?)

toppoptart · 26/11/2009 21:15

Oh no sorry mine is actually a 32f so could you try a slightly different size??

cornsilkwearscorsets · 26/11/2009 21:18

I was looking at that wonderbra online yesterday. Will try out all these at DEbenhams tomorrow. Thankyou to all bra sharers. Except the Bravissimo 'cos I'm not near enough to the store and am lazy.

34 or 36 h depending on how fat I am...weight never seems to leave the melons just piles on or off the back

I'd get them done but I'm too chicken

VengefulKitty · 26/11/2009 21:32

My boobs change with my weight

At size 18 I was 36FF, at size 10 I was 32AA. Currently a 12 and 34 C/D and actually having trouble myself finding a strapless bra that stays put!

Ronaldinhio · 26/11/2009 21:40

no it's as though they are some sort of weird camel hump
when I get stringy and jointy they are still there looking bigger than ever
all my family are the same
horrible...never good for clothes

thisxgirl · 26/11/2009 21:43

I understand the new Wonderbra Ultimate strapless - I think that's the name - is supposed to be exceptional for support and uplift!

EdgarAllenPoo · 26/11/2009 21:50

omg i never found a strapless bra to fit even when a mere 32D (never mine todays status quo) ....although if i wear a backless dress i generally ensure it is tight/ structured enough to serve as bra..

wonderbra ulitmate eh?

frakkinaround · 26/11/2009 23:45

I tried the Wonderbra one (also a 32F) but my boobs must just be the wrong shape for it...

With bras the best thing is just to try and try and try. Unless you find one maker who you love and virtually everything fits [hugging my aubade bras to ample bosom emoticon]

VengefulKitty · 28/11/2009 00:49

OK, it looks like I may need to splash out on a wonderbra or something. Tonight I wore a strapless bra and a boob tube and my boobs and bra were persistently trying to cuddle my belly!

Not and attractive look!
