What bra can I wear for my wedding?

Hmm, strapless wedding dress, breastfed child (but will be 9 months old so not every five minutes), largish (I actually have NO IDEA what size) boobs. Can I wear a "normal" bra for the wedding? I will have to feed the baby at some point, but could maybe just kind of pull my boob out somehow.

If not, where can I get a bra that will work in that sitaution?

See, this is why you're not meant to have children out of wedlock...

You will need a basque or else your boobs will look terrible. Strapless bras are the work of Satan. Measure yourself and get thee to Bravissimo !

But will my size change? The baby is only just starting on solids and my boobs are up and down like balloons all day. The first feeding bra I got this time was something like 32G but i mostly wear the ones from the last baby, nothing fits.

I used to be an Ann Summer rep, so I have loads of lacy push up things in the wardrobe gathering dust. I HATE feeding bras!

I have never found a nice strapless bra, even corsetty style things i tend to wear a bra as well.

Hmm, could I get away with wearing a strap bra?

Hi, new here, thought I'd share my experience - was bridesmaid yesterday, strapless dress, DS 6mo. Left bra shopping as late as possible (about 3 weeks before) - recently started weaning, so thought I might keep changing size. Had fitting at Bravissimo. Ended up with strapless underwired as they don't do basques in my size apparently (32Hish, was 32HH initially - have shrunk a bit, but actually ended up in a 30H this time!!).

It fitted really well so no problem with squeezing/ blockages, but not that comfortable - I've never had a comfortable strapless bra either. Also missed a feed when DS went home, so enhanced cleavage by the end of the night.

Feeding - had to undo dress at top (had back zip) then could flop boob out over top of bra, couldn't manage this in public...

I also considered going braless, but would have felt really awkward and the dress fitted better with bra. Could stick adhesive breast pads on the inside of the dress for security! I did go braless for my wedding, had a really well fitting corseted dress. That was pre-baby though.

Good luck!
