What color bustier are you wearing?

My dress is white and organza material so you can see through it a bit.  Also, any suggests on where to buy a good one for someone with a large bust?

    Can  you check with either the dress shop or whoever you are having do the alterations to see if they can sew in bra cups for you? I'm wearing an ivory dress and a white bustier I got it when I bought my dress.

    I am wearing a white long line bra. I needed straps and just purchased clear straps so they cannot be seen through the top of the dress. Here is where I got the bra from:

    I will be getting my bra from Lane Bryant.  I have found for these DDD's they are the only place that sells a bra that will actually hold the girls up.  I have heard good things about Frederick's of Hollywood too.  Since I have so much time before the wedding I may go online and purchase a bra from them to see how they work.  Good luck and happy shopping!

    Mine is gonna be white. Not that it mattered though because my dress has a cover up panel under the lace up back. I had a hard time finding a longline bra. I knew that I wanted a bra with support and good coverage without any padding. I went to 3 bridal salons in my town but they did not have anything that fit me. I decided to look around some more and tried another Alfred Angelo in another state. I wear a 34DD and  after trying on numerous bras I found one that had good support and coverage at the AA store out of town. This bra was a 36D but it fit the best out of all the ones I had tried. Previous store assistants kept pushing their push up bras but that's not what I wanted.

    My advice is to try other sizes and don't be afraid to ask for what you really want.

    Thanks ladies for your suggestion.  My dress won't be finished until September so I have some time to look around, but I figured it may take me awhile to find one so I figured I would get started sooner rather than later.
