    Anyone know where to find a one piece strapless bra/minimizer type undergarment?  For a plus size girl of course...  I am a size 22 at the hip and a 42D on top, but very small waist: VERY hourglass shaped.....  ideas?

    I can't think of anything I've seen that is strapless nad includes the bra, but Spanx makes one with special straps the loop around a regular strapless bra. You might be best served with a custom-fitted bustier/long bra, but I'm not sure if you can get one with a minimizing effect.

    Good luck!

    I have a strapless from Lane Bryant, they only had 1 in stores tht fit but it is not a minimizer, I like it though cause it comes with clear straps and fabric straps and can be strapless

    I wonderi if Fredricks of Hollywood would fit you well.  I'm also VERY hourglass shaped and they have great bras and corsets.

    I was surprised, but David's Bridal actually had plenty of selections in strapless longline bras. I would also second Fredricks of Hollywood, and if there's a Hanes store or outlet near you they carry strapless Bali brand bras which, for me, are some of the more well-fitting strapless bras I've tried. Good luck!

    This is the one I wore:

    This might sound kind of odd, but check out Orchard Corsets. They have corsets in a variety of curve sizes (sounds like you'd probably want a level 3), including a lovely white longline one. Also, there's really nothing that's going to work as well as a corset if you're looking for something strapless and you're over roughly a B cup.

    @eagle:  Excellent idea!

    SugerPlum I have been to the Hanes store and the largest size they carry is a 42 one-piece which did not even come close to fitting over my hips...

    redheadartgirl Also an excellent idea

     

    Thank you all!

    I did some research and heard good things about this one so I bought it and it worked great when I tried on dresses.

    I did listen to the tips listed on the page to adjust my size and it worked fine. I may have to trim the lace on the top down a bit as it sticks up a smidge above my dress' neckline. I don't want to have to find a new bra! It was a very quick delivery.
