Strapless Bras and Shapewear

Thank you all so much! This has really helped!

I agonized over finding a strapless bra and I just ended up taking it off and trying on the dresses braless! Even the dresses without a corset back had some sort of cup built into them so I felt secure enough and I felt they fit and looked sooo much better without a bra.

I got the high waist shape shorts from La Vie en Rose and I love them. They're comfy, don't roll down and smoothed out the areas I was concerned about.

I'm still not totally convinced I want to go braless on my wedding day (I'm a 36DD), so I'm going to buy some breast lift stickers (also found at La Vie en Rose) to take to my first fitting.

You can get the dress altered with cups put in them thats what i am doing! i dont want to wear a bra on my wedding date or have my bra straps showing lol

I would try looking at lingerie stores near you - most sell Spanx which IMO is the best and will be able to point out strapless bras.

I'm a 34DD and I actually had an older bra (that still fit) sewn into the dress (the cups) for some added support.

What I did for mine was make sure the seamstress would be there the day I went looking With having my 36J boobs I wanted to make sure whatever dress I got it would work with either a regular bra or have them tell me they can make it work braless (which worked out as the dress I wore was a deep V-neck with an illusion back button up).

I brought a strapless bra to dress shopping and my consultant told me not to bother. She said straps and bra colors can sometimes ruin the look of the dress and you might not find "the" dress.


I'm not as busty as you, but I do know that a good seamstress can make sure you are supported for the whole day long.
