Bravissimo-style strappy tops?

Thought about asking this on "I wanna" but figured it belonged better here

I'm a huge fan of Bravissimo's strappy tops (the vest tops with a built in underwired bra) and wear them nearly every day either on their own or under other tops.

Most of mine are now fit for the bin, but I can't replace them at the moment because Bravissimo isn't currently stocking any plain ones in basic colours. There are a few in the sale which are just what I am after, would be suitable, but they are all sold out in my size (32G, which is Bravissimo's fastest-selling size).

I found a similar one last summer in the Debenhams sale, which was not only cheaper even if it had been full price (and I got it knocked down from £25 to £7 - bargain!) but was a better shape and more comfortable than the Bravissimo ones. However I haven't seen any since.

Does anybody know if anybody else sells them (in my size) and at what sort of prices?

(P.S. I have emailed Bravissimo and suggested they keep a permanent stock of strappy tops in basic colours.)

Have you tried ebay? There are occasionally tops for sale there, but the bids tend to go quite high, a second hand one went for over £10 (the same seller had a brand new top that went for less!). I am looking for similar myself so hopefully someone can point us in the right direction.

I have looked on ebay for them in the past but there's never been anything I've liked

My guess is that the good neutral ones tend to get worn to death by the person who bought them, like all of mine

Incidentally, I emailed Bravissimo about this and got a response. Apparently the entire clothing range is being "relaunched" and the choice of new lines will be limited for the next few months - we should see an improvement early in 2009.
