Underwear solutions for wedding dress

I think I have found my wedding dress 😍It did some kind of magic to show off all my good bits and hide all the stuff I dislike, despite looking all floaty and not like it is hiding anything. I didn't want to take it off and am still excited about it days later.

The only thing stopping me buying it on the spot is that I haven't got a clue how to wear underwear with it, as it is backless. I originally thought a low backed body, but think the sides cut in too far for that, are stick on bras any good? Just cups sewn into the dress? Cups sewn in plus stick-on boob-lifter sticker things?

For info, I'm a 30E, so a pretty full bust. They aren't as perky as a 21yr old's, not aren't on the floor, but I do definitely need a bra day to day for the support and jiggle control.

Bra stuff has been my biggest concern whilst dress shopping and I'd hate to pass up this dress because of it 😭

Wow, what a gorgeous dress!! Cups well positioned and sewn into the dress should do it. I'm a similar bust size and managed with sewn in cups only (despite a LOT of enthusiastic dancing)

Congrats Op!

Cups sewn in and double up your support with some perky pears and extra boob tape if needed! Not sexy but 100% hold the old girls up well!

Have you tried on the dress without a bra? I didn’t wear one with mine as it had a lot of support already built in. Most dress shops have a dressmaker on site for alternations - is it worth asking them?

Thankyou!! I'm so pleased to hear that sewn in cups might be good enough 😀

Hadn't heard of perky pears, so thankyou, they look interesting. I haven't tried it without a bra yet, but am going back in a few weeks with a range of underwear options!

@Unbridezilla they're amazing - I was sceptical at first but they really work. Just make sure you cover your nips because you think you will pull them off if not (i speak from experience 😫)

Wow that beautiful.

You must have an amazing figure.

I'd need bras on my back boobs in that 🫣🤣

I agree with sewn into cups if you can.

However I thought you were going to ask about pants and I was going to suggest NVPL granny pants. Comfort for me all the way with those Grin

And congratulations Flowers

Went to a wedding ten years ago and the bride was tall and slim and gorgeous and wore a similarly slinky beautiful dress but with full on sexy underwear - suspenders, garter, lacy shit. Could see EVERYTHING she was wearing underneath.

Was quite uncomfortable not least because the bride and groom fuct off about 9pm. Leaving the rest of us deserted in a cold as fuck venue with a Spotify playlist and a bar that only took cash, and no taxis.

Anyway they're divorced now.

Unhelpful sorry
