I have committed a New Year extravagance and I have just ordered FOUR black demi-cup push up bras!
I have found a supplier who has got just the sort of brassiere that I love to wear. That is, I like deep side & back bands with double hook fastenings. Also, lots of support under the bust with a nice stiff moulding under the cleavage.
But best of all, I love the wider bra straps, with large adjustment buckles which sit tight over my back. I have had a lot of trouble with dropped bra straps, and with my previous "little girls" bras with spaghetti straps I found that when they were tight enough to stay put, they made grooves in my shoulders. My God, advocating wide bra straps does sound so frumpy!
But with these bras, I can strap myself in nice & snug, with lots of side support, tons of push up, a nice bit of nipple wobble, tight straps which don't slip or dig in, but also with buckle bumps which show through my top, and which make it obvious that I am wearing a bra.
I have got several tight white tops, which look like they have been sprayed on me. I have worn white and pink bras under them, but with really no reaction from neighbours, in supermarket queues etc.
Maybe these new black bra straps will attract attention. I do really want somebody to ask me "are you wearing a bra?", but it is surprisingly difficult to provoke any response. Maybe all the other guys have got bras on?
