Please help! No-show large cup size bra for wedding dress needed urgently

My lovely DD gets married in less than a fortnight and she’s realised her dress needs a bra underneath - I think she assumed there’d be some built-in support and as a 34HH she really needs it 😳

The dress is cut low at the front and lower at the back so it’s really hard finding anything that doesn’t show. We’ve ordered all sorts of styles and those bra extender things but would be so grateful if anyone had any other suggestions.

Masking tape. I'm deadly serious, it worked with a totally backless dress.

flesh coloured sports support tape

I had a seamstress put boning in my dress and went braless. If you get asking and begging one locally you may be able to find someone willing to do it. Won't be cheap though.

A decent alterations service can add bra cups (or essentially a full strapless bra) to her dress.

I’d recommend a Goddess Bustier. I bought one years ago from Rigby & Peller for my wedding dress. They give fabulous support due to the boning structure and are cut low to the rear. The sizing is tricky though because they don’t actually go up to an H. That said, I’m a 32H (sometimes an 30H) and just bought a 34F and that fits perfectly. So try going up 2 band sizes and down two cups so a 38F might suit (try also a 36F if she has a small back). You absolutely can’t get these on by yourself so she will need someone to do up the back. If she isn’t blessed with a perfectly flat tummy she might need a shapewear knicker solution on the bottom to avoid a ‘ridge’ at the bottom. I’ve included a link to Debenhams below so you know what to look for. Absolutely avoid Braforme as I paid for express shipping and next day delivery one of these recently and it arrived two weeks later 😩

Hope your daughter has a wonderful day.
