Another underwear issue

I'm having trouble trying to find underwear to fit that will go under my dress. I have had two delivered this week and they are just all wrong, one looks like I have a bandage around me and the other would probably put a hole in my chest!
I'd like white, I think it'll need to be strapless, it has to be a plunge style or balcony as anything that has underwire going too far up the middle hurts me.
I'm a 28F, or 8/10, I was looking at some of the bodys and shaper corset things but I can't find any in my size and I think if I bought something designed for 8/10 it would push my boobs out and I'd look odd.

And, is it me or has her head been suck on that body, it looks really weird http://www.wickedeliclingerie.co.uk/plus-size-lingerie/

    Rather than ordering online, why not actually go to a lingery specialist & try some on.
    I'm sure the shop assistants will be able to give you good advice.
    If you still want to order online to save money, you can buy something after the visit.

    try looking at the ultimate strapless wonderbra in a 30 back as it can come up small. I work in a bra shop where we fit customers and like someone suggested, I would definately recommend going and trying some in a local underwear shop. If it is a boutique style shop have a word with the manager/owner and see if you can make an appointment where you can go in (with your dress) and try all the different styles

    they all look like the heads have been stuck on - how bizarre!

    good luck finding the undies, definitely go and try on in a shop, a good shop will help you out and guide you as to what will work

    I called into bravissimo yesterday as I usually buy from there but the underwire comes up too high.
    I'm going to have a look at the wonderbra and see if I can get into that store steph suggested, I'm based near York at the mo but get over to Manchester fairly often
