Pretty much stated in the title. We all know straps are our friend’s when we have so much to hold up. I have never found one that didn’t have me pulling it up all night and wearing a longline or a corset just gets so uncomfortable after a while. So I was hoping someone might have found some miracle out there, even if it costs a small fortune, I am willing to try it to make the kittens (FI’s nickname) look good on my wedding day.

Go to Nordstrom. That is where I got my last one and I’m a 34F. Can’t remember the brand name though..

hakuyanayaku : Thank you!
VikingPrincess : Maybe I am just not getting the right one when ordering online, but I have not found one I like, even at Nordstrom. We have a Nordstrom Rack here, which is like their discount store, I can check there. I just have a hard time at rack stores like that where you have to really search to find something. Maybe, if I try right after they get some shipments, early in the day, I will find something. Thanks for the recommendation.

headoverboots : the best one I’ve found is the Freya strapless. I’m 32H and I’ve worn it dancing and it stayed up all night!

My last strapless bra was by Curvy Kate, it was incredibly comfortable and didn’t shift, but didn’t give me a great shape. Sadly because I have a ridiculous bra size (28J) I don’t have many options!

I LOVE my Natori convertible strapless bra! About $70 and completely worth it. It has an elastic fabric band with more resistance than the straps that pulls from the top of the cup around to the clasp, and thin “sticky” gel bands that grip your skin so the bra doesn’t slide down. The cups are thin but quite stiff, which also helps avoid the dreaded cup overfloweth leaning out situation.

I went to a bra store that carried my size. The lady working helped me find a strapless bra that fit properly. I would recommend that, not buying online.

I’m a 32F and couldn’t live without my Wonderbra padded strapless bra! As far as I’m aware it goes up to a G but that could just be as large as they stock in my local store. Plus it’s pretty!

I went to a speciality store that has sizes up to K (and beyond). I bought one by Elila, but ended up not wearing it because I didn’t need it with my dress.

I wore a longline bra. It smoothed everything out nicely and didn’t slide down or move around. I had the seamstress sew the front of it to my dress, as well. I think I found it online for around $80.

I LOVE my 24/7 strapless from Third Love, and so does my friend I’ve loaned it to. We’re 36 DD (36 E on the Third Love site – they have stardard sizing to D and then different names for cup sizes DD and above).
It stays put and looks better than my bras with straps.
