Catalina Strapless Lace Full Cup Underwire Bra - BnT

So my strapless bra sort of died. It was beginning to buckle in the foam underneath the cup, just above the underwire and eventually I had to face the fact that it simply didn't fit anymore. It seemed like it did, but my enormous bosoms were simply too heavy for the poor thing. I've currently got 2 x Fine Lines Strapless numbers, reviewed last year by PrincessEmma. So off I went in search of one in my size. 

ARRRGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

It was with great dismay I discovered that this bra doesn't go up to F. (I should have looked at Em's review, which clearly states the cups only go B-E, but it never occurred to me that this "old faithful" of mine wouldn't go to F!)

I've had I think 5 of these bras over the years in black and nougat, first discovering them in about 2000 when a friend bought one for her wedding. After no luck with Fine Lines I resigned myself to having to go out in search of a strapless bra for big boobs....

Support & Comfort
- 1 / 5
No support.

Overall Look - 0.5 / 5
Horrid! It sort of pancaked my boobs in a most unattractive way.

Wearability
- 0 / 5
As soon as I put it on, I took it off virtually. It wasn't a maybe, it just wasn't. It sat too low on the breast-line, and while pancaking me, cut me off above the nipple. Its hard to describe. Its not that it didn't fit properly, I suspect it did. But it made a small double boob in trying to be tight enough with the support.

Price
- $39.95. Disappointing this didn't work because its SO affordable.

Strapless bras are a treacherous path.

So many opportunities for disappointment and inadequacy.
