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

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.

Ultimate Wonderbra - best strapless bra I've ever had and my daughter swears by hers too.
Available loads of high street places (Debenhams, BHS, John Lewis etc) or online (Figleaves etc)

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.
