Stick-on/Backless Bra for those of us who are large of chest?

    Hi all. I have a problem- I'm fairly big-boobed (36DD/E) but many moons ago when I was a more modest 34C, I bought one of those "Stick-on" bras, to wear with a backless top (or something) but I remember it was pretty much useless. I've a broad back and it just seemed not to be able to contain my boobs in any way, shape or form, even though I got the biggest one available.

    For years I resigned myself to never being able to wear backless stuff until I recently got a gorgeous backless dress in A-wear

    it's pretty modest on top so I'm happy to go braless if I have to but at the same time I'd be delighted if I could find some class of bra to give me even a little bit of support. There's a tie at the back of the neck of this dress too, so there's the worry that some smart-shíte fella could undo it some night while I'm out and I'd inadvertently end up doing my best page 3 impression!

    So, do any of you wonderful people know of a backless/stick-on bra for bigger boobed girls?

    Also can anyone tell me how to do that cool trick where you can click on a word which describes the link you're about to view?

    Depending on how low the back is, you could try a converter strap bra - it's basically a belly band you hook onto the hooks, pull around your fornt and hook to other side. It does work. But... if you're eating (eg bridesmaiding) and bloat at all, tis painful as it digs into your belly. It's more low back than backless... wonderbra do one I think. Once you're in DD land I don't believe stick on works. I've seen people wear stick on when they have big cup size, I can tell they are wearing stick on because they're one sharp movement away from giving themselves a black eye with a stray boob to the face. But some people are comfortable with less support/a lot of movement.

    If you highlight a word and lclick the link button in the new post function, you can make the word the link - is that what you mean (icon looks like a globe with a paperclip)

    The back is very low. I have a converter strap but it won't work. I forgot to mention that, but thanks for your help.

    Thanks also for the link trick :D

    Test

    If backless/stick-on bras are simply not an option, then can anyone point me (pun very much intended :pac:) in the direction of those little nipple petal cover thingies, whatever they're called? I'd die of embarrassment if my dress became see-through under bright light, ie camera flash!

    You could try Ultimo Miracle Solutions they do a range of bras and bodies/corsets designed to show off body parts usually covered in bar straps. Their website is down now but other stores sell them.

    Something like this might work; http://lingerie.haberji.com/ultimo-lingerie-2011-collections/ultimolingerie2011_4931804/

    Or alternatively there is the diamanté back strap which mightn't be ideal but much better than a regular strap.
