Best strapless bra?

GirlInterrupted

Any recommendations for a good strapless bra for a lowish back, babydoll style dress with spaghetti straps?

If anyone can recommend one that can do justice to a c-d cup, without giving that squashed look they sometimes give you, I'll be very grateful!

I got a great one in La Senza...it was really good and it comes with strapes so you can change it.
I got another good one in marks and spencers

Whatever you do don't get one with those clear straps. They're ridiculas.

This is the dress in question:

I'm starting to think this one's a no-go, the back makes the bra thing difficult to organise, I can't wear the one's with the clear straps because I get a red rash under them, and going without is not an option for me.

So unless anyone comes up with a genius solution, its plan B.

More coverage, less opportunity for fallout .

Thanks for the replies anyway.

Get a low back bra from Ultimo. They're great, really hold you in and flatten your tummy a bit too.

You could try one of these http://www.marksandspencer.com/gp/product/B000JWU054/sr=1-21/qid=1225145551/ref=sr_1_21/279-8181094-9527217?ie=UTF8&node=&m=A2BO0OYVBKIQJM&keywords=&mnSBrand=core&size=9&rh=n%3A171440031&page=3

I have one and it works really well under low back stuff.

I love eves cups = they are two cups you stick on and hook together in middle. Give a really natural shape but dont give any extra ommph - they come in cup sizes and Id say go up one - not cheap but a worthy investment!

I agree with pseudonym1 about the stick on cups but Ive only used the disposable ones from pennys

I'd the same problem, Bramora on Earlsford terrace have these new stick on ones that's mean for and apparantly works well on larger cup sizes, so you could try there

or I got this really nice one from littlewoods, thats not exactly backless but worked better for me as i hate the stick on ones

photo doesnt do it justice - love it for backless dresses as all you see is 2 rows of "diamonds"

I got eves cups awhile ago but Im a D cup and they just do nothing all they do is cover them they dont give any support, although the good thing about them is you dont have to keep yanking it up, once you stick it it doesnt budge til you take it off.
Hate penneys bra's although a few of my friends with smaller chests love them, I tend to go to Debenhams most of the time, but lately I'v been taking a shine to New Look's underwear section I find their bra's great and not overly priced either so worth a try!
