Hi ladies,

I'm a new ballroom dancer just starting to look for dance tops like leotards, camisoles, etc. However, I also am very busty (34E)and need to be able to support *things* when I'm moving. Normally when practicing I wear a regular bra plus two sports bras, but obviously that won't work for performances and competitions. Also, I'd love to be able to wear the open backed or other skimpier styled tops/dresses. I know that with a leotard I can wear a bra, and I've also seen camisoles to wear under leotards, etc that have clear straps. Does anyone have any suggestions for support while also not looking frumpy? (Other than a breast reduction, which I'm looking into) The rest of my body is in great shape, I just somehow have the most enormous breasts ever and they're a huge pain in the rear. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!!
-Kate

You might try contacting Anastasia Pichugina shown in this picture for advice. She is local and has been at many events I've attended. She and her partner won a Blackpool Rising Stars Latin competition a couple years back (if I recall correctly).

The picture shows her to be much smaller than the reality of things.

Sorry it's a guy answering.
