    Hey girls just wondering if anyone has tried Faveo Freedom Bra / Perk ups i think they are called now?

    Basically a strapless, backless bra for bigger sizes...

    i need something to wear with a backless dress these look kinda strange though :)

    would love to hear from anyone who has tried them!

    Thanks

    I haven't i'm afraid but seriously want to try them! Only yesterday I was lamenting about how I can't wear cute strapless summer dresses as strapless bra's for big boobed women are a joke.

    If you get them please let me know how you get on!

    very hard to find any reviews of them online i guess i'll just bite the bullet and try it out :)

    i'm always picking up nice dresses and thinking oh can't wear that the back is too low so if these work i'll be very happy! i think some practice will be required to avoid any wardrobe malfunctions in public... :p

    will let you know how it goes when i get it :)

    Hey, Just wondering how it went? I'm really really tempted to splash out!!

    I've tried the maidenform one (was told try a 36-38D, as I'm a 34E and it should've worked)... but it's crap, had to use oodles of tape and it still kept slipping out of place, rather embarrasing as you can imagine, I'm really really desperate! I love my backless dress!!

    hey ladies sorry for the delay getting back to ye... so they came in the post and i thought oh great thats me sorted will be able to wear the backless dress but when i actually decided to try them on a couple of days ago i found them absolutely crap :(

    it says on it that you need to practise a few times that you won't get it right the first time but they dont even seem to be the right size so i've had to abandon them (pain in the ass because you obviously can't return them once they are opened so i'm stuck with them)

    theres a place in dublin called bramora that does them might be an idea to go in there if you planned on buying them and get them to advise you on what size you need because i ordered my usual bra size and they were totally not suitable...

    so now i think i might get away with wearing a basque under the dress if i can maybe put something in place at the back of the dress to keep the basque from coming up (like those hooks that keep your bra straps in place)... it will prob be more comfy at the end of the day because i had visions of losing the perk ups mid way through the day which would be very embarrassing! :)
