LARGE strapless/convertible bras?

rbtrumpet · May 2014

I figured this board was best, even though I'm not active here, it's got the most amount of nursing mommies on here!

I've seen posts about large bras for nursing mommies, but I didn't see this specific question. I'm matron of honor in my best friend's wedding in July, and the dress doesn't allow for me to wear a conventional bra. It's outside in July, so wearing a wrap on my shoulders is not an option. I could get away with a convertible where the straps can be made into a halter, or strapless. I'm a 38 H/I. I would prefer not to spend an arm and a leg for a bra I will only wear once.

Anyone know if this bra exists?

All I can say is good luck. I was a DD prior to nursing and don't feel like I could find a strapless bra to handle the girls appropriately. Could you add spaghetti straps to the dress?THen at least you could add clear straps to bra.

nope - it's got straps, just not where I can hide bra straps - let me find it again...

ETA:

this is the dress

I don't know what kind of dress you have to wear so this may not meet your needs. There are bra strap converters like this one at Victoria Secret, https://www.victoriassecret.com/bras/lingerie-extras/strap-solutions-bra-strap-converter-fashion-forms?ProductID=4913.

There are several different styles out there. I just googled "bra strap converter" and got several options back.

The problem with these is that my 38 I bra has about 2" straps, which would totally stick out under the thin neck part.

Does it need to be a nursing bra? With that dress, you are going to have to undress to nurse/pump anyway. I'd just buy a regular strapless/racer back bra and not worry about the 'nursing bra' aspect.

The top is really loose, I can pull them out the side of the dress, if I can get them out of a bra. Problem is, even regular strapless/racer back bras I'm finding in 38H/I are over $100, which is just too much for me!
