Wow.  I really didn't believe a strapless bra was capable of holding up a 44DD chest, but this one seems to have miracle written all over it!  I've had good luck with Vanity Fair's sizing, prices, and quality in structured bras, so when I needed one for a special occasion dress, I looked to Vanity Fair first. What I really wanted was a bra with removable straps, so I would replace them with clear plastic ones.  But since plastic straps aren't as strong as fabric ones, I needed a bra that was capable of staying up on its own and therefore not putting all the pressure on the clear straps I'd added.  Surprisingly, this one fits the bill!  Even without straps at all, this bra stays in place without constantly having to be pulled up, and the shape of the molded cups is just perfect.  Its pretty damned comfortable, too, which is fairly unusual in a bra this size.  Plus, it does come with its own straps, so the bra will work with plenty of everyday wear as well.  I was pretty worried about finding an affordable, comfortable bra to go with this dress, but Vanity Fair (and Amazon's amazing prices) came through for me once again!
