 @loz2879 How about going into a store and get one fitted properly? Most department stores have specialists who work in their lingerie departments and can help you find something to suit your needs.

Could you go for a basque or something similar instead of a bra or is it that you specifically want a bra?

 Im not much help in the bust department, however can the dress shop fit a bra into your dress? A friend of mine had this done for her wedding in November.
Have you tried figleaves / simplybe / M&S?

 M&S have a range that have big cup sizes, i swear by them, they are very generous sizes and actually hold you up with out straps,

 I have a Panache strapless that I bought from Bravissimo. It's s lovely shape and really holds me up, but it is quite generously sized so if you're ordering online I'd recommend a 34F.

 I get my bras from La Senza, they fit perfectly and last and last, they do a huge range of every day type bras and multi ways, and their bridal collection is lovely I'm a 34e and they always have loads in my size and bigger. I'd recommend them Hun they will measure you too xx

 I agree with @mrshstobe. Try Bravissimo - they specialise in larger sized bra's and I only every buy mine from there now. They're lovely in store too xx

 @loz2879 i didn't wear my bra under my dress in the end, i felt supported (granted mine are only an E) but my bridesmaid pulled the dress in really tight whilst i held them where they were supposed to be!! xxx

  • Do not know when the wedding will be
 @loz2879 bra hunting can be a nightmare, especially changing sizes but like some of the others here I love Bravissimo too. Found a similar thread here http://www.finalstitch.co.uk/forum/thread/busty-brides/?collapse=true&page=la... so moving all into the one spot emoticon
