in search of backless bra

    Hi all

    I have recently bought a lovely blue low back dress after loosing some much needed weight. However my problem is getting a bra which suits the dress I am around a dd or e cup and would prefer a bra with a low back or the strap that wraps around your stomach type of one(hope that makes sense)? any suggestions where I may find one?

    I dont like the clear straps at all and not sure about how good the moulded stick ones are for support and lasting a night out. any advice or information where to look?

    i got a bra extender thingy that you attached onto your own bra that made it wrap around your tummy, good for a lower backed dress that i had ( i am d cup) but not suitable for really low back dress. it made bra have slightly less support but was grand. i cant remember where i got it online? but i remember someone telling me you could get them in brown thomas. (also pretty cheap-about a tenner!)

    congrats on weightloss!

    Like Jockeyboard said, you can buy the converter like she described.

    You can also buy a bra with it built in so it still is comfortable as well as being supportive. Works the same way, wraps around so you can create a very low back. But, the problem here is that the majority of these bra's stop at a DD so if you're any bigger, this isn't an option.

    This is what it looks like: http://www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod_10001_10001_152010112386_-1

    The above is actually just the converter so you can use on any bra, however from experience it isn't very good. I would recommend buying the bra, with it built in.

    Other then this, you're only other option is to get one of the stick on cup's which aren't very supportive if you are large in the chest.

    ye I would prefer the bra with it fitted properly but will definitly have a look into getting the converter and try them out. I thought they would be much more easier to get. thank you for your help :)
