Underwear help!

I've looked all day but I'm now more confused than ever! I'm being a bridesmaid and my dress is absolutely beautiful but poses a problem for underwear!

It has a lace back and cap sleeves so needs to be strapless. It has a slightly low back, ie below normal bra strap level so needs to be low back and I would like it to smooth my not so slim tummy.

The biggest problem seems to be my size, I'm a 34FF and therefore cannot go braless!

I've seen the ultimo bodies but their website says I can't return it if it's not right, so would need to find it in a shop to try on. I'm also considering asking the shop to sew me in a bra front and then buying a waist cincher type garment.....

Any wonderful items which you ladies recommend?!

Thank you for your help, but I think I need something to smooth and control my tummy too plus they are a bit scary looking! Blush

www.very.co.uk/ultimo-backless-body/1016482697.prd?numProducts=20 very has the ultimo in stock in nude and it will be returnable.

If the dress isn't hugely low backed, have you tried the wonderbra ultimate strapless bra? I have one, and I think because of the way it's made you can get away with making the back sit a lot lower than it should and it still works really well. You might have to go up a back size and down a cup or two as the sizing is a bit...wacky! you could then combine that with any number of support pants/spanx etc. You can also get low back converters which can be worn with a standard bra.
