I'm looking for a strapless bra with full coverage under the arms and around the back. I've lost quite a bit of weight and all the strapless bras I've bought or tried on make big bulges under my arms towards my back. I've been trying to find one that is strapless yet full coverage all the way around. Is there such a thing?

I have one that's more of a bandeau style which has good coverage. It's a bit like this but black bandeau bra |

I haven't bought one myself but have you checked any bridal shops. It seems like I saw some like that when we were shopping for my daughter a few years ago.

Bandeaus are not good alone for someone with larger breasts.

Bandeaus are not good alone for someone with larger breasts. That's what I was afraid of! My chest has shrunk in a BIG way with my weight loss so there's lots of skin and not a lot of volume so I need something with decent support. Thanks for the info!  |

I have this one from Lane Bryant. It goes no where and has very good support and coverage all the way around. |

would a long line bra be more of what you are looking for?
strapless is tricky because you want it tight enough to stay up but not so tight that you get bulges
Bare Neccesities is a good online source for bras.

I'm thinking that may be exactly what I'm looking for. I've never had a problem with the strapless bras staying in place but every one I've tried has made bulges that are NOT flattering at all. |

Sorry about that I wasn't thinking in terms of support. You can get them with underwiring or moulded cups if that would help. |

I would get a bustier, you can get short ones if you don't want a full corset look. the boning and underwire will give support and suck you in to help prevent bulges. |
