Garters, Tights... now BRAS!

I have a strapless dress (it can be made halterneck too though, im going to decide next time i put it on which way im going to wear it) and no strapless / multiway bra...
I cant really wear underwire.... i mean, i could if i absolutely have too but it will hurt, a lot.
and as always I really dont want to spend a fortune, did you get a bargain one anywhere?

    I've got the wonderbra one that's been mentioned in here a bit and its reasonably comfortable. There's not enough corestry in my dress to go braless and I'm 31 and the tatas arent as perky they once were so definitely need something.

    Hi.

    I happened to wander into a branch of Rigby and Peller last week. It TOTALLY changed my perception of what I was going to wear - I had it all planned out and its changed.

    Yes its expensive (strapless bra and knickers cost me about £80) but I was in there for 2 hours, I have a PERFECTLY fitting bra that wil last for years.

    I couldn't recommend them highly enough!

  • i think she means those stick on chicken fillet things, they stick under your boob giving you a bit of lift but they have no straps
