Like many others, I'm looking for suggestions for a bra for this dress (https://www.jlmcouture.com/Hayley-Paige/Bridal/Additional/Style-6413).
Since it's a super-popular style, I figured maybe I'd find a bride on here that wore this and had a great boob plan. I haven't had alterations yet (I'll need a plan in place for then), but I tried on my dress when it came in, and my saleslady suggested a low-back bra that would still need to be unhooked at the top and folded over, which is a no for me, especially at the $150 price tag. That's why I'm turning to you, wise women of the internet.
Some questions you may have:
Q1: What size beasts are you working with?
A1: 36-38DD. Oof.
Q2: Why did you buy this dress if you didn't know what to do with your boobs?
A2: Fair question. In all the chaos of tulle and clips and fabric with the sample gown, I didn't realize exactly how complicated my situation would be. I also thought that the fee for adjusting to my cup size in conjunction with the fact that it had boning would do the trick. That is not the case. Also, I loved the dress, and when you love something, you figure out a way.
Q3: Why not try sewn-in cups/breast tape/prayer?
A3: I have little to no experience with any of those, but if you do and have found any of the above to help lift and separate, please tell me more.
As a backup, if no one has any experience with this particular style, how creepy is it to message brides/strangers on Instagram who've worn it and ask what they did? It feels very creepy, but I need ideas.
Thanks in advance, ladies!
