Strapless, backless, DD+ cup bra help

Do you definitely need a bra? I ask because I'm an F cup, and my dress was a not dissimilar design and I didn't need one. If you do need a bra, then try the Ultimo low back bra, I think it goes up to DD.

Echo is the dress boned and does it defo need one. If so what about making seamstress to sew cups into the dress.

Usually the dress has enough structural support to not require a bra and a good seamstress can easily pop in some cups to give you a bit of extra lift and support if you want.

I'm going to have some chicken fillets sewn into mine to give me a bit of a boost... I'm not as blessed in the bust department as you!

Yup, same question as the others. Have you been told you need a bra? I always planned to wear one and on my first fitting was told to take it off as I didn't need it. I could still wear one, but they said it would be more likely to get in the way than be any help.

So I'd say check with where you're getting your dress from, you may not need to worry about it

My dress isn't structured so the bridal shop have told me they are adding an inbuilt bra into the dress, could you not speak to the lady doing the alterations and see if that's a possibility? Even buy a cheap ish bra which they can cut up and re distribute?

Ultimo do a low back strapless bra which I'm thinking of getting as I have a low back dress too and would be more secure than stick ons. Looks like DD are out of stock at the mo but maybe you could contact them and see when they'll have it.

Hi all

Thanks for your suggestions. Sadly the ultimo is no way near low enough (think top of bum low) or big enough (F cup) but will definitely pursue the cups or not bother at all options....

Thanks!

I had a bra strap built in low as mine was a laced back and had fillets sewn in which gave me extra support. Speak to the shop assistants or seamstress and they can point you in the direction of the best solution

Btw you may not need anthing. The strap mainly kept the dress in place for doing it up and the cups do give support but i could have gone without. I just felt better with them
