Boobs
I just made the appointment for my first fitting in early March. I have no idea what to wear under my dress to keep my boobs in place. Here is the top of my dress again, more PIB.
Sweetheart top with a tulle-ish V-neck overlay. I'm in the C cup range. On the bottom, I'm going to be doing Spanx and possibly a mermaid crinoline. I hate wearing strapless bras, but I don't know if longline bras are somehow better. I also don't know if sewn-in cups would work with the style of my dress.
Thoughts?

[QUOTE]What sort of boning is in the dress, if any? I am in the D range, and ended up not needing a bra at all. I was sucked into the dress, and there was so much shape that a bra actually made my bewbs look weird.

I would love to experience this. I'm in the D range as well, but I think I will end up wearing a longline bra. It's been over 5 months since I've physically seen my dress, so can't recall how much boning, if any, there is.
And I say "good shape" because for the first wedding I was a bridesmaid in, I asked to have cups sewn into my dress. The seamstress sewed in pointy cups that reminded me of Madonna's pointy bra. I was pretty self-conscious about my boos all night in that dress.

[QUOTE]For those of you that have had cups sewn in--how big are you on top? I'm worried it won't be enough support, though I LOVE the idea.

</div><div>I had cups sewn in + Nu-bra + a Spanx slip. But, I'm an A cup... Still, it worked really well :)

ps- Longline bras aren't that expensive. I got mine for like $25. I mean it probably wasn't the nicest piece of lingerie ever made, but it worked. Also, what I did was buy several pieces of undergarments to bring to the first fitting, so I was "prepared" technically before the fitting, but left the tags on and only tried them on twice so I returned the ones that I didnt' like.

[QUOTE]Nu-bras frighten me. They look really sticky and uncomfortable.

<div>Once it's on, you won't even know it's there. I felt the same way!</div><div>
</div><div>Buuuuuuuut, I used the Nu-bra to help me fill out the dress. Since you're a C cup, you probably won't have that problem ;) So I vote having cups sewn in.</div>

<div>Duh, that would have been helpful of me to post, wouldn't it? Depending on my weight I'm a C/D. Granted, my wedding dress had some structure to it - but like I said I've used them for other dresses - that weren't nearly as structured - and still loved it. With long line/strapless I always end up pulling at myself all night and I didn't want to deal with it.</div>

there is some very light boning in my dress, like two flimsy bones that are right in line with my nipples to give me a princess shape. my wedding undergarments/support will be: cups sewn in + spanx (higher power shorts). I'm a full B cup, almost a C depending on the brand.

I also made an attempt at a longline and just felt "constricted" in it and it was not necessary as my dress was not that low in the back. I searched around for a good strapless bra (I am a former strapless hater - then finally found ones that actually FIT!). It worked perfectly with no tugging at all (and DH commented a couple times that my boobs looked very supple that day...ha).
A longline might not work well if your dress if very fitted and does not have much structure in the dress itself, as longlines tend to add some weird shapes even if you are very thin, etc.
