Depends on your body shape jaks, come are plunge and some are balconette. Do you have a preference on what you want to wear with it? I wear the Panache Evie as it comes in a GG.

What one did you buy last year. What is comfy for you might not be comfy for another person so it is all down to indivual choice. You can buy ones with padded cups (not that give a lift but they give you shape), then you can buy lace ones. What is it that you are looking for and what was night right about the other.

I'll be honest, a strapless br ais not the most comfortable thing in the world. If it is to be worn day to day with summer tops, have you thought about a strapless, bra sized bandeau bikini top?

Ah tink. But do you measure yourself correctly? This is what the issue is, that most people do not even know how to measure themselves.

Now the nicer weather is kicking in the cardi's are staying off so I am looking for a bra with a racer back if such a thing exists. Any ideas in a gg cup? I don't want a sports bra and it has to be supportive and give good shape.

I always know you will pull something out the bag so got everything xed that such a thing exists.

Hi Ali, yes, a lot of the Elomi bras have racer backs as they give better support for the larger bust. If you can wait a week or so (cos of the 2 bank holidays) I can see if I can pick up some cheap ones like last time I have some Elomi here but am pretty sure I do not have your size here. Have a look at the Elomi website http://www.elomilingerie.com/ and see if anything catches you eye, PM me and I'll see what I can get from past season like last time.

Cleo bandless is quite nice and does no have the big band underneath, it also has leotard back you are looking for.

Have a look at the Atlantis bras LM, there is one that gives 2 cup sizes bigger now

Do you know if there are any of the "2 cup size bigger" type bras available that are strapless (for summer)?

I have a few of the normal 2 cup size bigger ones (the M&S ones) but they look daft under summer tops because the straps show or the top is lower cut than my winter clothes and shows some of the cup/strap.

Is it possible to get something like that in strapless? Or do you have any recommendations of anything similar? Not necessarily looking for something thats the 2 cup sizes bigger, but something that gives the illusion of having bigger boobs than my invisible ones and is strapless (but not a gel bra, they make me itch:rotfl: ) or suitable for under summery tops.

Hope that makes sense:rotfl: x

You are a total gem :beer: I will have a look at the website and get back to you. I should have asked that by PM. :T

Hi x, what brand have you tried and what has been inside the bra?

The Atlantis strapless ones give one cup size bigger, there is Nadia (ivory, it is aimed at being bridal) and Atlantis solutions, both give one cup size. I also have Christy which has clear bits so you can wear a deep plunge top. PM me your size, I might have something here - I have a few Atlantis left for £6 so you might get lucky. Most of them sold before I could even get the offer email out to anyone.

I have to get to bed and I'll be out tomorrow too but I'll be around in the evening. I also have some of those tops with the bra inside.

The 2 cup size ones are very heavy so would slip down to be fair, which would be morifying on the dance floor. They all do have straps too.
