Please help me locate!

jodimp, 11 August, 2013 at 20:39 Posted on Planning 0 5

Hello,

I am getting married in December - so have a little while to search, but i cannot locate any good underwear!

i am a size 16/18 - although i am slowly shrinking on my diet, my dress is strapless, so am either looking for a good supportive strapless bra ( i have a rather large chest) or a corset type thing in order to make me look smooth under my dress,

Any help would be appreciated, as all i can find are things for people who are about half my size!!! Smiley smile

thanks

    I'm not sure if this will be of any use at all but I had a quick peek at Debenhams lingerie yesterday and they had some lovely stuff. I didn't take note of sizes as I was just having a quick look. I'm also on a diet and don't want to buy anything til just before the wedding, when hopefully I'll be a couple of stone lighter.

    Where are you based? Have you searched yellowpages for any local bridal lingerie shops, i stumbled into one near me and they had some great stuff in all shapes and sizes.

    Will you definitely need something under your dress? I would talk to your dressmaker/ dress shop first, there might be enough structure in the dress already, in which case wearing something under it might actually be really uncomfortable!

    I would try Bravissimo, good for non bridal underwear and swimwear too!

    I'm a size 16 and with ample boobage too! (38E) I normally used to swear by M&S bras but I tried on a couple of their strapless bars (when I eventually found a couple in my size) and they were completely useless. No shape whatsoever - it was just like someone had taped a draught excluder to my chest (and not very high either!).

    The only other one that I've tried was the Wonderbra one with the 'hands'. It looks a bit weird but it was a good fit, gave shape and lift, and also felt very sturdy when I bounced around a bit. It's definitely worth a try.
