So I'm a bridesmaid in a wedding coming up in 6 months and we have agreed on a dress, the only thing I did not think about is I will need to wear a strapless bra. Now, for some this may not be a big deal but when you have F cups and they are basically down to your belly button, they are basically my worst nightmare. I have zero lift in them and I am ALWAYS wearing a bra. Does anyone know where I can buy an amazing strapless bra that gives A LOT of support at all? I've tried sooooooo many and nothing seems to work for me. So reaching out to the masses, there has to be someone who knows something! And I ain't lying, zero lift, like deflated balloons but those long ones that clowns use to make animals 😂😂😂 Thanks mummas!

I feel your pain. I'm a H cup so have experimented but found the best thing to do is use sports/physio tape and make a tape bra. I've even tap danced and it gave far more support etc, held me in place.
There are YouTube videos you can watch and various methods so experiment before the wedding a few times.
My sisters both use this method too now.
Is it possible you could wear invisible straps? Otherwise, I'd be trying the tape bra. (though I'd take extra rolls on the night, you'll be wanting to fix/add/replace as you sweat.
There are some great websites for larger breasted women now, that you'll be able to find something comfortable and suitable. I've been there too. I was a G before I got a breast reduction. Bravissimo in the UK was by far my favourite shop. Then Storm in a D Cup is Queensland, City Chic also have a great range. Good luck with your search to find something suitable.
Would you get away with a bustier/corset type under your dress? I find the boning to help with support.
Get thee too a good lingerie store, one specializing in larger sizing if possible. Get measured, get fitted. Spend the money (yes, it will be expensive). Better that then yanking your dress/bra up all night (such a bad look!)
Couldn't you get a halter or straps added to your dress? Come on bride, think of your BBB big breasted bridesmaids!😂
