Bras for Busty Petite Girls

chasegl

OK, Help! I'm a 32DD and I cannot find a strapless bra/bustier that will actually hold me up.  I've tried on everyhing I can find in that size and none of them support me.  My dress is strapless and it has a deep sweetheart neckline.  Can anyone give me some recommendations?

I ditto the PP with the Wacoal suggestion and the custom bra fitting type of store. Wacoal bras are amazing! I'm 5' 3", and I used to be a 36 DDD/ E prior to my reduction.  I always had success with corset style bras---strapless with vertical metal wires to the hip. They sound and look like they'd be unbearable, but I actually felt comfortable! Plus, it was good to know the girls were contained and that my back was supported for the long day. They're also pretty sexy so I didn't feel matronly! Good luck! And spend the money on a good bra--it's worth it!

Same size here! :)I find that bustiers make me look huge, so I always go for a brand called 'Fantasie'. Don't know if you have it in the States, but it's wonderful. Here in England there is a shop called Bravissimo for larger chested ladies, and I buy there all the time.Here's the bra I like:http://www.bravissimo.com/products/lingerie/strapless-bras/fantasie/strapless-bras/fae6-details.aspx?colour=ivoryGood luck!

I didn't realize Fantasie had strapless bras.  Another AWESOME bra!  I wore one for a V-neck BM dress and loved the bra.

Thanks for all the replies!  I have been custom fitted by several places to confirm my size.  I LOVE the Natori bras for everyday wear, but strapless is always a problem.  I want a longline bra with boning so that the bra doesn't slip down but haven't found anything that doesn't just flop over yet.  I'll look into your suggestions, and I'm not opposed to ordering from overseas if necessary!

OK, maybe I'm a little challenged, but I can't find Wacoal or Fantasie longline bras.

Hi, chasegl,Try this link... (sorry, I don't know how to post links!) The bra is Wacoal Long Line Bra 85014. One place to try is a site called Her Room.  http://www.herroom.com/Wacoal-85014-Long-Line-Strapless-Bra.shtml

I have the same dilemma. I searched a bit online, and I heard good things about Wacoal bustiers. I've also heard of the Va Bien bustier, which I plan on checking out.

Thanks, Deborah.Periippa: I've heard great things about Va Bien, too.  Mostly about their lift longline bra.  It doesn't come in a 32 ribcage, though.  I emailed them to see if it could be special ordered, though.

I'm a 32DD and have found great success with Wacoal, Lunaire, and Fantasie. I have gotten them either at Macys or via www.barenecessities.com .

Have you tried Lane Bryant?

Just FYI, the Wacoal bra is now discontinued so get it while you can.Lane Bryant does not carry bras with a 32 ribcage, but thanks for the suggestion.

i was a 32DD when i got married and i got a longline; the brand was "carnival"- the boning and slight padding in the cup gave me GREAT support on my wedding day! i'm not sure if it's a deep enough neckline for you?
