bra suggestions?

amiehipkins · March 2012

I need a strapless, push up, padded bra to wear with my dress. 34D

Fortunately I have lost about 10 lbs since I purchased my dress, 15 all together and it's loose at the top. It fits perfect everywhere else, I just don't want to have it altered.

I need something to "fill" the top up a little more so it will rest on me and not stick out. Any suggestions?

They have a strapless version of the Miraculous bra from Vikki's Secret: http://www.victoriassecret.com/ss/Satellite?ProductID=1265748549419&c=Page&cid=1329190984317&pagename=vsdWrapper

Try Walmart or Target I know it sounds weird but you can find one for a little cheaper there. It may not be the best but it should work.

if the top really has that much extra space I think I would go and get a quote to have it altered. You don't want to feel exposed all night and a bra can only do so much -- plus you don't want people to see the bra when you bend over, etc. Just a suggestion... (although I totally get trying to make it work!

The normal bra I wear is perfect, they just don't have a strapless version at Walmart or Target and I hate to keep buying bras and them not working. AND if I resell my dress, I'd hate for that to be a con.

I'll look at target too.

I got mine at DB when I got my dress. Make sure wherever you buy it that you try it with your dress to make sure it fits good with your dress

I am using this one:
http://www.maidenform.com/bras/styles/strapless-convertible-bras/maidenform-custom-lift-strapless-longline-bra-09655

It works well with my dress because it smoothes everything nicely and keeps everything were it is supposed to be (as opposed to 6 inches lower!). $29.99 isn't a bad price. If you have an outlet mall near you, it's even cheaper. I got mine for ~$15.

Good luck!

I would look at getting a convertible bra. That way you can use it later with straps in any way you want. I have two convertibles and I love them both. I got both of mine at JCP but I would think any department store would have what you are looking for. Generally they are $20 - $30 and more times than not come push-up.

I buy all mine from VS =]

I've had my current strapless bra from them for 6-7 years, and it is still in great shape.

Agreed. I'm not wearing a bra - I'm just going to have my dress fitted as tight as possible in that area. It's totally going to be worth it not having to worry about it, and I'm a 36DD!

All -

I found the convertible bra at Walmart for $15 and it was perfect!

All I gotta do is get some double sided tape to hold the top down cause it sticks out just a smidge. But It's awesome! I pick my dress up FRIDAY from the seamstress!
