Hi Ladies,

I bought a backless gown that cannot have cups sew in because of the cut of the dress. It has lace side coverage. I am  a bra size 28F, so not huge but big enough. Can anyone help me with a miracle product that won't be seen that comes bigger than a D cup?

    I'm a C, so if my advice won't work for you, feel free to disregard... most lingerie stores sell sticky bras that might work. I don't think they're going to make your boobs look two cup sizes smaller, but you have a difficult situation with your backless dress choice so you might have to compromise.

    Have you talked to your seamstress about any options you may have?  Do you have a picture of the back of your dress?

    the lingerie stores around me don't have anything over a 32D for anything sticky. And my seastress wont sew anything into the lining of my dress as it is a loose satin. 

    This computer wouldn't let me copy and paste the picture. Hope you can see it. The satin inside layer comes lower on me as I am 5'2, its almost to the small of my back.

    That dress is very similar to mine and they are sewing cups into mine...not sure why they're telling you that's not an option.

    I would check with a different seamstress.

    this is probably not the best option, but have you tried the dress on with a bra that has a clear back strap?  There is a chance the lace will cover it up enough that people will not notice.

    I would get a second opinion. From the picture, I see no problem of sewing in cups. Also, a low back longline bra.

    the inside fabric is a very light weight silk, they won't sew cups into it b/c a) it would bunch the fabric in a weird way and b) would purely sit on top of my boobs doing nothing. Just the way the fabric lays. There is absoluely no structure to the dress, I've asked 4 different seamstresses and get the same answer as soon as they see how it fits me.
