Bridal bra/corset help

Hi
I am getting married this year and have a fab Dolce and Gabbana dress (not traditional wedding dress) to wear. It has a built in bra, but i don't have the perkiest of boobs and would prefer something with more support. One option might be to add some sort of pads to it it I wonderedif I should remove it and wear something else underneath to give me more uplift. I am a 30FF following the bra intervention Smile and was thinking of a basque or corset. There is s small business near me that makes them to order, but that would be expensive so could anyone suggest a good strapless option? I tend to prefer balconette type bras or half cups as my boobs are definitely bottom heavy Sad

I think a basque would give you perfect lift and smooth all lines too. That's what I did.

Mine came from Rigby and Peller and was not that expensive - less than £100 so I'm guessing cheaper than made to order.

If you can't get to R and P I'd say a visit to a local independent underwear place or three is worth a shot at least?

Thanks good idea to try R&P, that will still be cheaper than bedooke??

If you need strapless, then whilst it's not as sexy as a basque the wonderbra ultimate strapless is a very good bra. I wore a custom made steel boned corset when I got married as there were no strapless options, and it was fabulous
