good strapless
Need a good strapless bra. I used to have Wonderbra Ultimate Strapless Bra (9339) and absolutely did not like it a all.
Been looking at Curvy Kate Luxe Strapless Bra (CK2601) but I'm unsure, the bratabase dimensions are discouraging. Should I go up in cup? Look at something else entirely?

Well, first what did you not like about the Wonderbra Ultimate Strapless?
Knowing what you didn't like about that one will help me/us to figure out where to go/look from there.
Most strapless bras are molded, padded, wide and shallow with firm, wide, bands. So generally speaking if you can't give yourself some leeway in terms of fit, you will likely never be happy with a strapless bra. As you see many of the women on this site just don't wear strapless bras.
There are many restraints to making strapless bras, they unfortunately can't be magically the same as our strapped bras or else they'd likely just flop down or be very unattractive. But then there is always the bandeau style which can have alot more leeway due to tube-top like elastic along the top.
Yup, am fully prepared for strapless to not fit perfectly! I had a Palmers strapless ages ago and while the fit wasn't perfect it was passable and held without the straps (no sliding etc), and it was enough.
The Wonderbra... It just felt... unnatural. Like very stiff cardboard. It was very uncomfortable tbh. Not issues with fit exactly (maybe I don't remember, this was a couple years ago), but just the bra itself was my issue.
