I found and purchased a dress that I really like - awesome, right? Well, except today I went over to my mom's to try it on with a few different bras, thinking that because it has wide straps, I'd have my pick of pretty lovely bras to wear with it. I was so wrong. So, so so wrong. The back is a low V, lower than I thought, and I need some sort of bust support that starts one vertebra/about 1" below where every single one of my bra bands end. Complicating this significantly is my bra size - 28G/30FF. Braless is not an option, and those sticky bras would probably be worse than braless. I don't know if it would be possible to put supportive enough cups into the dress, which is chiffon and doesn't have much in the way of structure beyond princess seams.
1. Is my assumption about putting cups in wrong?
2. Is it possible to alter a bustier/basque to lower the back?
3. Is there the Holy Grail of bras out there - a bra with a low back and a relatively short (~2" or less) gore in a 28G/30FF?
