Help! Need bra for gown with low back *bigger bust*

christiehoef

Looking for a bra to go with Sottero and Midgley's Meredith gown... I have a larger chest and need support!  The gown has straps, but the back is pretty low... any ideas?

I am dealing with a similar problem of the low back. I tried so many bras and ended up purchasing a Jezebel Caress Bustier. Every bra I tried you could see the back strap. If a bustier or corsette doesn't work you might want to try just the front sticky cups.

Not sure how large your chest is when you say "large" but I purchased my longline from bare necessities. This is good for my low back, corset style dress.

They are also having a 25% off sale ending tomorrow

Mine came with detachable straps.

I feel your pain sister. I am a 36F.

Bare Necessities is AWESOME. i use them for all of my bra purchases.

ALSO- not sure if there are any SOMAs where you are, but, I had this same discussion while looking for dresses with a consultant and she told me they can measure you and special order them in your size and they sell lots of different special bridal bras.

hope this helps!

OP, I have the same problem! My dress has lace cap sleeves that straps would not look good under and a low back that clasps 14 inches below my neck. And I am a 34D. (When I fell in love with this dress, I never realized what a pain undergarments would be..)

I purchased a corset similiar to csweaney's link and I was hopeful that it would work but I still look saggy...

It seems like once you move the band lower, you start losing support. I think well-shaped cups are key and try to find something with quality boning below the cups. I am trying double sided tape to hold my boobs in place inside the cups. Hope this helps and good luck!!

Can you have cups sewn into the dress?

Before you buy something, you might think about taking your dress to a tailor. He/she might have a recommendation.

I just purchased my dress and I'm a 32DD.  My dress has a pretty low back and my consultant said probably the best option would be to have cups sewn in when I get it altered.  My dress has some built in support and straps though.  Your dress is stunning and I hope you find a good support option!

Thanks for all your help!  I'm a 32E, I'm thinking the cups sewn in the dress sounds like the best option... I need as much lift as possible, lol!  Maybe lot's of tape too!
