Calling All Small Chested Brides!

I'm an AA cup; I'm wearing a sweetheart neckline, low back. I HATE when strapless gowns come away from the bride's chest, leaving that gap. Hate it!

 So I'm planning on sewing cups into the dress, and wearing a nubra as well (the sticky ones that clip together).
Can I wear fashion tape? What are YOU doing to push those puppies up??!!!
Ideas much appreciated :)

  • Oh I'm a B so I have a bit more to work with. I usually do tape, or put two of the gel packs inside one Vicky's secret very sexybra....but not sure how that would work with the low back...I am just wearing a strapless and will prob have cups sewn in. Im a big fan of wearing two bras. The gel things with the clip get sticky and sweaty and make my boobs look droppy as opposed to their natural round shape which I don't like the droopy boob look. Sorry, but I am sure seamstress can hook u up and bra would look ok. Double sided tape will help as well. U should be fine.
  • I'm a 34B.

    I sewed cups in my dress and it was great.
  • I'm a 32AA and I plan to have mine altered to fit when it comes in.  My ribcage is larger than normal for my size (runs in the family and my poor sister has it worse than I do) so I had to order a 4 to fit my ribcage, but it will have to be taken in at the top to keep me from showing the world the little bit that God gave me.  Since my FI likes them small, I'm not doing anything to enhance them.

  • Im a B. Those little fake boob gel things are my best friend lol. You just stick em in your bra and wa-la...instant ta-tas. They are wonderful. I got mine at Victoria's Secret. I swear by them :)

    I've never thought to do that! Does it look bulky in the back though?

  • Honestly, I was going to have cups sewn into my dress but for my dress style (sweetheart neckline) it looked so much better to just have the top altered to fit what I naturally have.  Adding the cups made me look like I was desperately trying to create cleavage where there just wasn't any.  Besides, not forcing two mounds of flesh up to the top of my dress leaves me with a classic neckline....at least that's what I keep telling myself.  ;)
  • Honestly ladies, I'm tiny; I'm not going to get cleavage, I just need to fill out the dress so I don't GAP!!! I dont want to look much bigger; You know how a heavy dress can flatten you right out! All about proportion.:)

    VERY happy someone has done the 2 bra thing!!!! I'll do that...I think it'll be fine :)

    Does anyone remember that scene from Riding in Cars with Boys when the guy pulls all the handkerchiefs from her bra..."What's this?!" My mum was like, "That'll be Josh if you wear 2 bras!" Errr...He knows what he's marrying...thanks mum...lol!

    Thanks
