Bra for a very low backed dress

tinker belle · December 2010

I had been planning to have cups sewn in and just forego a bra, but the cups don't really provide support, which is needed!! (:

(note 2nd link, back is VERY low)

Bra options, would either of these work?

or is there something better out there?

Most gowns have enough internal structure that a bra isn't needed. Most low-backed bras are just cups attached to a boned structure. Your gown, presumably, already has boning. If anything, you will only need cups.

Ditto pp, just have cups sewn into your gown that's what I did and it was much more comfortable. HTH!

Have you tried on your dress with the cups? If not, wait until you can try it on with them. If you're still not getting the support you need, then get one of those low-backed bras, although I've never found a low-backed bra that actually gave much (any) support.
