Boulder Holder Question

in African American Weddings
So I ordered a seamless bustier bra which arrived today.  It's by Va Bien.  See below.  Looks ok right?  Ummm...hmmm.



First I am rather shy and would prefer to put on my underthings for my wedding day myself but this here thing is going to require more than just my two hands.  I am not happy.  I turned it backwards to put the snaps together and then twisted it around.   I nearly twisted myself in half tyring it on tonight.  I am sure I lost an inch off of my waistline.  UGH!  So yeah someone is going to have to help me put it on IF I decide to wear this thing on my wedding day.

Seriously, is there not an easier way or some other alternative to this thing above?  I am a 38DDD so the girls can't run free.  I just hate being harnessed like that.

For the married ladies who wore something similar how was it wearing the trap?

    I probably should have worn one, but I didn't.  I wanted to be comfortable.  Sorry I can't help :-(

    I had to have help with mine. At first I was embarrassed because i'm bigger but after those fittings, me and the little asian lady that altered my dress were thick as theives. I had a goddess. I didn't mind it. I'm keeping it too for if i ever need a strapless. I was in mine for 10 hours or so and didn't have to much uncomfort.

    Nope. not bad at all, what kind you got? My only complaint is that towards the end of the night one of them (either corset or dress- not sure) kept digging into the side of my armpit.

    </div><div>I  am going to work on my shyness but as a back up I will keep on my shorts/pants while the trap is secured in place.  I figure I can hold the trap in front of me while the first snaps are done.  Then go into the bathroom or bedroom, arrange the girls properly, and then have the rest of the snaps done.  After that I will be good.  Yeah I am "special".  LOL!</div><div>

    If you have a skilled tailor, you may want to inquire about getting the proper support added to your dress (depends on what style) so you can have a little more comfort. I have Hs and going without straps is not going to happen for me, but I am definitely going to make sure that the girls are strapped in all the right places. Better safe than sorry.Wink
    when all else fails, love.
