Ivory strapless bra for small breasts

Options
I am looking for a Ivory Strapless bra to go under my gown that gives me a "boost" I am 32b and am struggling to find one that looks nice and increases my cup size.

If any of you lovely lot have any ideas where I could get one from I would be grateful. I have so far looked on;

La Senza, Debenhams, Figleaves and Maxcleavage.

TIA

Kirsty

    Is there a John Lewis near you, if they do not have your size, they will order it in for you - I have the opposite problem (32ff - g cup) and they have ordered bra's in for me to try on.

    No sadly the nearest John Lewis store is 60 miles away!

    I looked at the reviews for the strapless bras on this site and they all rave for the bigger bust but small busted ladies comment on how it flattens them :(

    I think possibly that may be more to do with shape than size.
    Have you tried one on?

    No I haven't not yet. I will have to travel 30miles to the nearest shop so will have to go in a couple of weeks. My dress fitting is 17/07 so I'm hoping I've found one before then!!!

    Ultimo.

    I researched for ages and ended up getting one of these, they used to sell them at Debenhams but don't seem to be available there now.

    I remove the padding cos they don't need that much of a boost, but the structure of the bra as a whole means that nothing is flattened, everything is in the right place and stays in place and it's really comfortable. Might be a touch more expensive but worth every penny for me.

    I totally agree with this!

    I used to work in an underwear shop and later the underwear department in House of Fraser whilst at university and just because a bra suits (or doesn't suit) one person of your size doesn't mean it will suit you. It is so worth taking the time to go in and try things on - and keep trying on til you find the right one for you! Good luck!

    You may need to "prop" them up with foam pads ;o)

    I'm very flat chested and don't need a bra for support but definitely need it for proportion. When I was a bridesmaid for my sister, the alterations lady sewed little round pads directly into the dress between the outer fabric & lining for me - apparently it's quite a standard thing to do. So much more comfy than wearing a strapless bra and no fitting problems or worries about bits of bra showing - maybe ask about this at your fitting?
    I've since sewn these little pads into lots of my own dresses and they work a treat and look more natural than a bra.
    Don’t try to keep up with the Jones’s. They are broke!
