Minimiser bra for wedding guest dress

3 replies

rrrrrreatt · 21/07/2026 15:12

I’m going to a wedding next week and have fallen in love with a dress but it’s just slightly too tight on the bust. It’s got a square neckline and ribbon straps about a cm wide.

The next size up is too big and there isn’t enough spare fabric to let it out so a minimiser bra is really the only option. I’m a 38G though and all the minimiser bras I’ve seen have huge thick straps and the bra fabric comes up really high.

Am I looking for the impossible or do minimiser bras suitable for wearing under nice dresses exist in my size? Please help - the wedding is next week!!

Get the dress in the next size up and have it altered.

I cannot imagine the discomfort and pointlessness of what you’re suggesting.

Yeah this is nuts. Get the next size up and take it to a seamstress.

Wear a stick on bra. If the dress is tight enough it will keep it in place
