Oh that is stunning Anderson! They don't go up to a 40 and Debenhams 38 won't go round my back I'm going to have so much back fat I really shouldn't have gone for a strapless dress

Hi Skint , some really nice undies here http://www.bravissimo.com/products/lingerie?cup=f&page=6

Ive bought some of Gok Wans slimmer stuff from Simply Be, as I am also a large girl and want to look a wee bit thinner on the day!

Just been underwear shopping in lieu of my dress being ready sometime around this weekend and I'm so depressed & upset. I haven't been able to lose the weight I wanted to for the wedding and I feel a disgusting fat blob.

I ended up buying a firm control 'body' but feel sooo unsexy in it but can't find any sexy underwear I like (with a straless bra/confortable basque especially!) in my size (18 - 40E approx )

I guess in my head I'm picturing this size 12 beauty who can wear stunning lingerie but that's not me

So what is everyone else wearing under their dresses? Especially those 'larger' ladies out there?

Hi skint cat

All is not lost and trust me you're going to look gorgeous on your day

I used to be around a size 20/22 with massive boobies I was wearing a 40DD bra (M&S measured) when I went to bravissimo for a measure

I had to strip from the waist up and stand there with them out to be measured there was no tape measures going on the saleswoman simply stood behind me and looked at me i'm not gonna lie it was very very embarrassing BUT she said I was wearing the wrong size and my correct size was 36H:eek::eek:

I was like no way is that gonna fit i'm way bigger but she brought it and it bloomin well did it changed my whole body shape back then and they were brilliant with me

I lost my weight 2 yrs ago and i'm now a size 12 but I still got big boobs and they are still 34E so I still shop there for my underwear

My point is you should go in and try them they are not the cheapest but they will get you sorted out I promise :j:j

good luck xx

I bought this - http://www.bravissimo.com/products/lingerie/bodies-and-basques/masquerade/basques/mq13-details.aspx?colour=black&ck=GocqCBVFNsXy8aslceoXMw%3d%3d for my wedding in the ivory colour. I must say when i tried it on in store and for a few hours prior to tht 'big day' it was amazingly comfortable but on the actual day once in my dress trying to sit down i were in agony and around 8pm i disappeared off to the bridal suit to get it whipped off and was finally able to breathe. So for me it was not MSE as i wont wear it again now. Mine was a 38e and was told it was better to get a size smaller to enable all the pull in wanted. Admittedly it did pull me in and give me a figure i didnt know i had.

The pants were from a french company called Barbara and the basque from a company called Dominique.

The don't have them on Rigby and Pellers website but check out these

http://www.rigbyandpeller.com/Control_Underwear/Control_Pants/sc1609/p2763.aspx

Check out their website for fitting guides and you can always use a tape measure to work out your size.

There is a picture of the basque here but I have no idea what the company is like

The back sizes are large enough though the cup size might be too small sorry.

I know people who are fans of bravissimo, unfortunately I am too flat chested.

Sorry just saw this website

http://www.tallulahbelles.co.uk/products.asp?cSort=?&cat=229

they have the basques with bigger cup sizes.

I got Jimmy Choos half price in the sales and they were surprising comfortable for the height. If you are getting married in a church beware the floor may not be even!
