Advice needed for backless dress with big boobs

56 replies

I got my wedding dress a few months ago and loved it initially. The shop staff and my friends said it will be fine with a sewn in bra or body tape. But the more I think about it, the more I panic and want to change it. The dress is beautiful but it is backless, with straps. Will I be able to comfortably wear it while being supported? If so can anyone advise on suitable bra?? At the moment I really want to buy a new dress and it's getting me down. Help.

as the possessor of absolutely massive boobs: don't. Ever. There is no bra that doesn't have a proper back- and shoulder-straps that can honestly contain large breasts.

Don’t do it!

Stick on bra stickers are great (painful removing however!). Try NOOD. Your boobs will not move unless you’re doing a highland fling.

Which underwear did you originally try it on with? Was that OK?

Would it be possible to have the dress altered so you could wear some supporting underwear? I think you’d be more comfortable.

I’d get a different dress. It sounds as if you won’t be completely comfortable and you don’t want that on your wedding day.
you can get multiway bras but with a wedding dress I would be concerned about it showing.
