What To Wear Under Your Dress

by Anna
(Charleston,SC)

I want to wear a strapless dress, but I don't know what under garments are going to give me that "lift". I know I can wear a silicon bra, but that doesn't give me the lift I'm looking for. I did some research and found something called Hollywood/ fashion tape or sometimes referred to as breast tape . Does anyone have any suggestions?

Hi Anna,

Here is a link to a post on this site with tips on deciding which bridal bra you should choose for a strapless wedding gown.

Hopefully someone else will suggest specific brands of bras and places where you can buy one that will work with your bridal gown.

Need Wedding Dress Strapless Bra Help

by M. Smith
(Westcliff on Sea Essex)

Hi

Getting married Aug 2012 found a dress I love the only problem is it's strapless they have said I need to get a 32hh strapless bra. Tried everywhere cannot get one anywhere. There must be some way I can get this dress right if I can't get a bra to fit. I am getting very stressed out about this can you please help.

Hi M. Smith,

It sounds like you have found the dress of your dreams but finding a 32HH size strapless bra for your wedding dress is a problem.

I did a little search of the net and found that the site barenecessities.com has a bandeau bra in the size 32H Panache Evie Strapless bra #5320.

Now I know you said you need a HH size cup. What you can do is get the 32-I cup or you can go up to a size 34-H band size and the cup would be the size of an HH cup for a size 32 if you follow me. So in your case you would go up to a 34H which would be equivalent to a size 32HH cup. If the band size of 34-H is too big, you can take your bra to a seamstress who can seam your bra down to the correct band width.

At barenecessites.com they have another strapless bra for full busted women by Va Bien Ultra Fit Strapless convertible bra they have a 32-I cup.

Hopefully one of these bras will work for you. You can search for the brand names to see if there is a source in your area close to you that carry them so that you can try them on.

If you decide to order online... make sure to use a credit card and check out the sites return policy.

Slip Choice

I have a bias cut ombre Mori Lee gown that I want to look like the ad picture but none of the mermaid slips are working. I want the dress to lift closer to the top instead of falling from the weight and flaring at the bottom. Do they make such a slip or do I need to have a seamstress add crinoline to the underneath of the dress? Thank you in advance.

Hello
Yes there is a slip made for this purpose. I sell it through my local business. If you want to purchase one contact me for pricing through the contact me form.
