Best strapless bra
I hate strapless dresses for this reason - I can never find a strapless bra that fits me right. I thought I had - go for my bridesmaid dress fitting, and the seamstress says I need more support and lift.
I spent about an hour last night at VS trying on a variety of strapless bras and nothing seemed to fit.
They measured me as a 34 C (I normally wear a 36 C, so at least it was close), but I was busting out of that on all sides - the D's were huge. Is there a C 1/2??? LOL.
Please recommend your strapless.

Re: Best strapless bra
i would try going to a specialty store - i am a very weird size (32DDD normally) and i found a great long-line strapless bra a georgette's in hicksville. they cost about the same as VS, maybe a little more.

I would go to a speciality shop like Blums I think its called and get remeasured then have them recommend a couple to you and try them out in the store with your BM dress if you can. Take a few min. walking around, jump up and down  yes I'm serious you'll see if they stay put this way

Re: Best strapless bra
OMG, I am cracking up in my office. Good thing the office is pretty much empty - everyone is out for orientation. I get the dress back tomorrow, so I may start running around, and jumping up and down with it on Thursday!

There's always the option of having cups sewn into your dress too

I'm not a fan of VS strapless bra's. I bought one for a wedding I was in and man that son of a gun hurt .
I was going to ask this same question as I am in search of a stapless bra for all the lovely strapless shirts I wear on the weekends .

Re: Best strapless bra
Thanks, everyone - I was seriously thinking there was something wrong with me. One of my friends also said there actually is a line of middle cup sizes like C 1/2 and that they sell them at Kohl's. I'm off on Thursday - so guess who will be bra shoping!

I'm a huge fan of the Sassybax strapless bras. They hold my huge boobs up nicely!

I was thinking the same thing until I chatted with 3 of my galfriends. They admitted to feeling  & & with their current bra situation.
I'm going to be going with 1 of them to see if a speciality store can offer some ta ta assistance . Please let us know what comes of Thursday's shopping experience. Good luck .

Re: Best strapless bra
I hate them and never can wear them. I instead now wear my reg bra and just tuck in the straps. Works perfect and I don't have to spend the money on a strapless bra that will fall down or hurt

Re: Best strapless bra
im your size too..and what i found is that the best support/lift i get is from a 34 D that has padding/pushup. without the padding is too big for me. i know it sounds ridiculous, but it really works! not only that, but i found great bras at target (gilligan omalley) that are the best bras for my body...AND theyre only about $15!
