I have a potential customer landing on Tuesday at 5:30 for her first
consultation and so I can work out a price for her competition ballroom
dance dress. It will need to be based on a leotard foundation. It will
need to fit closely to this 30FF figure... Yup - *30FF*!
Other than sending her to Rigby & Peller in London, where do you suggest
she looks for a firm fitting bra she won't fall out of when turned
upside down? Sports bras cover waaaaay too much for the skimpy top
styles (though we may have to go for the more covered look to hide the
bra!).
BTW Rigby & Peller do sell on-line, and their bras do cover a vast
range of sizes. NAYY... Here's their web site:
http://www.rigbyandpeller.com/contact/index.aspx
They don't sell cheap stuff, and they do have a bespoke service, but you
have to go to them for that.

30s are not as unusual as you might think. (Alas, I wore a 30 before my
kids were born) Here's a whole page of 30G/FFs mostly from the UK.

However, for competition ballroom, they usually sew the bra into the
costume and use a lot of body glue and invisible tapes since most of
them are backless or simulate backlessness. This is a highly
specialized area; I did not realized you did this kind of costuming.
Good luck!

It's a new venture! :) We'll see what she wants... I don't think
she's had the bra sewn in so far.
