Plunge bra recommendation?

Queen Mum

a few items I have (like the polka dot target dress) are too low cut for my regular bras, so I realized I needed to find a lower vamp bra. I found this bra at Nordies...

and wore it the other day with my Nine West dress and by mid day I realized things had migrated and I had some quad boob going on. I'm going to have to take it back.

I also bought this bra...

which I loved in the dressing room, but when I tried it on with my Target dresses, I felt a bit too va va voom for my comfort level. I need to see what my husband thinks, but I'm thinking it will go back as well.

So, my question is, do any of you fairly endowed out there have a plunge bra that you like, and that holds the girls in place?

I am constantly having this problem as well, since I am on Team Cleavage. I actually own the Chantelle Rive Gauche bra that you posted, and that gets me through most of my plunge needs. I own two others that aren't as va-va voom, both by Wacoal.

The first is my favorite. It isn't a very deep plunge, but it is low enough that it works with most things I own. http://www.wacoal-america.com/.....85364.html

This one is lower so would work for really deep necklines. I don't think I have ever worn it, however--I feel it squashes me a little. I need to try adjusting it to get it to work, because it is a nice bra. http://www.wacoal-america.com/.....uery=65342

I don't have a plunge bra-seems like if something is that plunging I end up putting a camisole underneath. But now I think I need one too! Will be anxious to see recommendations for the larger bust-I'm a 34dd

Oh, P.S., but I am well-endowed. I wear a 32DD/32DDD (depending on brand and my weight).

thanks Steph... yes, I am a 32 DD/DDD too.
Carole.. I never thought about a plunge bra either, but I'm tired of wearing a cami with everything. I don't mind a bit of cleavage, but not sure how I feel about the girls being so pushed up as the "Rive" I"m afraid of walking out of the house and everyone thinking I had implants or something :-0

The "Rive" is a beautiful bra, Kim. I'm sure it looks great-do you want to post a picture here so we can give you some feedback-we won't tease you about being a "pinup" model or anything!

LOL... maybe I will, but I'll have to block my face.
stay tuned.....
I will ask my husband too. He will tell me if it's a bit too much for outside the bedroom

Of course, I meant WITH the dress over top...you can still remove your head if you want-teehee

I like this style from Panache:

Go up a cup size though.

I've had good luck with the Freya Deco bra.

I too like the Freya Deco, but personally it is very va-va-voom on me and that is clearly not the look you're going for. It's a great bra for wearing under knits though.

Another vote for the Panache Tango.

I have a few of these two.

They are well made and have good lift. For reference I wear a 30F in the plunge styles but a 30E in the balcony styles.

I have the Rive Gauche also and it's a little, uh, kapow for every day on me too (also 32DDD).

This gets the job done for me with pretty much any neckline:

thanks for the great recommendations everyone. I"ll check those out.

Carole... yes, I knew what you meant, but I still wasn't sure I wanted to flash the world with heaving cleavage. You all are fine, it's the lurkers of the non-female variety I'm leery about.

Actually, I modeled for my husband last night and he said it was fine... and when I removed the little padded part it tamed it down a bit. Maybe it's just one of those things that I'm more self conscious about and have to adjust to. I'll try to post a pic later.
