What kind of bra....

hey guys,

I bought a strapless dress (enzoani fabi) and I'm looking for bra recs & stores that sell them!

I'm an A or a B cup depending on where I shop and I normally wear an "extreme pushup" bra.  Technically I probably don't even need a bra, but I'm looking for some.. uh... enhancement.  But don't want to be uncomfortable. 

Strapless bras normally end up making me look flater than ever so I have no idea.

    Can they sew in cups (and a bit of padding) into the dress?

    Ditto to PP - I wouldn't get a bra unless you had to - dresses are complicated and I was very hot for the first hour.  Better to get things sewn in!

    I'm having a november wedding so I'm not too concerned about being hot.  More with being cold ;) 

    I am however concerned about what happens if the dress tears or something and I am standing there in NOTHING!! ;p

    I would bet this has happened before.

    Haha, fair enough with the heat.  I really doubt your dress will tear!  I was thinking getting cups sewn in because you are lucky enough not to HAVE to wear a bra with your dress, as some will have to.  I didn't get anything sewn in because there was a bit of boning there already for support and I have a B-cup chest.  

    If you are worried, definitely look into a corset or bra - perhaps a bridal store will have the best ideas for what will work and keep you comfortable!

    At La Senza they also sell stick-on ones that can (apparently, I've never actually tried them) do some serious push-up action.  Then you have something on your boobs in case your dress slips down while you're dancing (or tears!) but there's no strap across the back.

    The bridal shops sell them, which I've found were about $120, another suggestion they gave me was head over to La Vie En rose, I did and they have the corsets on sale for $29 bucks.  I grabbed one to take into my fitting and they said it's great.

    I have the same issue; I need to find a strapless bra for my dress that will give me serious "help".  I have heard that at La Senza, the "Push Up Level 4 Up 2 Cups" strapless bra is amazing, so I am going to check that one out!
