Best bra options for a G cup in a strapless/backless dress?

It’s for my daughter. Oh, and she’s a G cup 😬.

Her dress isn’t completely backless but has corset style laces across the back so I regular strapless bra would show.

the dress is supposed to have a ‘built in bra’ bug it’s pretty rubbish.

I’ve bought perky pear things but the sweetheart ones for strapless dresses don’t go up to her size so I had to get the originals - anyone had any experience of cutting them at the top so they don’t show?

I’ve also bought a strapless shape body from Ndxt in nude but she’s moaning that you’ll see it at the back.

im not feeling at all hopeful!

Get a bra that fits her well and sew the side seams of the bra onto the side seams of the dress. Cut off the back of the bra and let the corset lacing do that work. Get a professional seamstress to do it if you can’t.
