Bra for low cut dress and small chest?

[nonsensicalmess]

I've bought the dress below for a wedding - it fit beautifully in the skirt part but the top was a bit gapey in the sides and the shoulders were a bit low so I've had it professionally altered.
Wearing my usual bras under it you can still see a bit of bra from the side. I'd like a bra suitable for a deep neckline that's not full cup coverage so you can't see it as much from the side if that makes sense?! If it gave my small chest a bit of a boost then all the better Only one I've seen that fits the bill is a wonder bra one but it's £40 and might only get used once or twice so a cheaper alternative would be fab.

Any suggestions?

A plunge style? What size?

Yep, plunge and not too full a cup. Size 36A

Can we see a picture of it on you?

Ars you sure about size? What dress size are you? 'A' cup means only 1 inch between under and over bust measurement.

Yes I'm sure about size! Size 36A is a real size

I know its a real size but is it your correct size? Lots of women are measured incorrectly (adding extra inches to the back size) and may need a smaller back and larger cup

Yes, again, it's my size thanks! I'm only after plunge bra recommendations.....

Ah, wonderbra was going to be my suggestion. I've got a plunge bra from there thats low coverage.

I would second looking at the boob or bust method though and trying out the size they recommend - you'll probably find you have a lot more bra options available to you then (I was wearing a 34AA and now wear a 30DD and can buy bras without spongebob on - hurrah!).

Don't suppose you're near a wonderbra outlet..? They have either 30 or 40% off.

Thanks @Spam88 - I have been measured several times and a 36A does fit me well, but I'll look at that method too.

No outlet near me unfortunately! I might just end up having to fork out for it

Can't help with the bra recommendedations as I'm looking for one myself but I've just bought the same dress in the same colour but with long sleeves and had the same issues with the shoulders - were the alterations you had a lot of work and did it affect the embroidery at the shoulder seam?

I was going to send the dress back because I didn't think alterations would work but now I have hope.

Hi @MistressWeatherwax1 - the seamstress removed the sleeves and re-stitched. I also had it taken it at the sides a bit. Didn't seem to be too much work (compared to bridesmaids dresses etc I've had altered in the past!) and no obvious sign of it.

Can I ask how you're styling it - colour shoes etc? I'm torn between nude or a bright burst of pink/orange!

@nonsensicalmess thanks! I'm gonna keep it and take it to get altered. I'm going for strappy pale gold sandals with mine.

Ooohh gold sounds lovely! Another colour for me to consider

@nonsensicalmess no recommendations but that it a lovely dress! I am small chested too and I have the same gaping problem with clothing. Hope you find something and enjoy the wedding

Thank you @scotlandtobali ! Yes, it's very annoying when the clothing fits you elsewhere but the bust is way too big

That dress is gorgeous. Where did you buy it please?

I often have this problem. I used to think I was a 34b. Turns out I am a 30 d. I have a couple of dresses that fit beautifuly on the waist and hips but gape on top.

What a lovely dress! For the purpose of one wear out of it, have you tried fixing the inside of the v line to the bra on the inside with double sided tit tape?

No I haven't bran - might be worth a go!

To all those asking - it's ASOS design

Have a look at max cleavage- great boosting bras

Try fenty savage
Great prices too

Why don’t you link to the wonderbra you like so we have a point of reference to find something similar?

Also would nipple covers or a stick on bra be an option?

Okay, think I’ve figured out which bra you want, found a few similar options:

also comes in nude if they don’t have your size
