Having a more than ample bosom and having tried so many strapless boulder holders, i found the best strapless one came from Peacocks, although only £5 each the are really good.

I had the same dilemma a while back and to be honest apart from '2 colanders and a yard of string' grin I came up with no solution either.

Thanks for your helpful suggestions. I sewed matching fabric to the bra so they wouldn't show my lacy top. I tried unsuccessfully to find clear straps, but not in my size envy

Only now coming up for air: M&S, Fig Leaves and Bravissimo here I come. smile

Could you wear a basque? I'm sure they must be made in larger sizes.

I was quite well-endowed before serious illness took its toll, and found M&S bras best for support and uplift.

I would never have risked a strapless bra though - surely the can't really work for the heavier bust? confused

I don't really have proper womanly bosoms sad

I suppose on the plus side, there is nothing to droop, but I have wear "enhancing" (ahem) bras to get any sort of shape. Trouble is,you take your bra off and your boobs go with it blush

Definitely Bravissimo.
Although they are on line, you'd really need to go to a shop for a good fitting. It's worth while.
I get all my bras from Bravissimo.

Bravissimo! They're very good.

I wish I could find a PRETTY non wire bra they all look like hammocks

Figleaves is good for the buxom lady.

Try bravissimo? Go to m&s/jl for a fitting?

Please help! I need a strapless, supportive bra, for my ample bosoms before the 21st September.

Can any bright spark help me - as both my large boobs are supported.

My last ditch is sew matching fabric around the existing straps . . . confused.

Bras with clear straps seem to be for those sporting smaller bosoms, lucky people. Oh well. . .hmm
