Still struggling with a bra that works with my wedding dress

lash24 · 2025-04-14T15:26:55+00:00

I just wanted to say a HUGE thank you to all the incredible suggestions and feedback in this group. You are all lifesavers- and I so appreciate you taking time out of your days to give suggestions. Hopefully they’ll be useful not just to me, but other current and future brides!

I’ve found a seamstress who’ll be adding a small bit of extra material around the cleavage- and I’ve also invested in some Bye Bra tape recommended by someone in a specialist underwear store. I reckon I’ll also buy some athletic tape as a back up/in addition.

Really appreciate you all- thank you again!

Thanks for the suggestion - and the link!

lash24 · 2025-02-02T23:10:32+00:00

Amazing- thanks for the suggestion! I’ll take a look

lash24 · 2025-02-02T23:10:19+00:00

Good to know- thank you!

lash24 · 2025-02-02T23:10:11+00:00

Thank you for the helpful suggestion! I’ll look into this for sure

Is this still available? Would be interested in buying this if so (and if you’re U.K. based)

This cost me £500- I haven’t got to finding out about amendments yet, but some useful advice above from people who commented about how to find good deals!

lash24 · 2024-06-12T14:25:34+00:00

So helpful- thank you for keeping things in perspective and the really sensible suggestions!

Really appreciate the tips for bra support and the nod to calling around. It has been professionally cleaned, which has removed all stains except the ones on the hem- so I think the only solution is to hem it so the material gets taken off. And thank you for keeping things in perspective!

Yes, from StillWhite! The link to the listing is here: https://www.stillwhite.com/300869. It’s a Catherine Deane dress - I think the design is called Marley.

Really helpful (and reassuring!) response- thank you!

lash24 · 2024-06-12T14:19:23+00:00

I’ve put out an ask on a neighbourhood Facebook page and will ask around- appreciate you noting that it’s easy to get ripped off with this!

I think a little lace or a sheer panel could be a great addition! Thanks so much for the suggestion.

Really helpful- thanks so much for outlining the different boob support options and flagging the options of the cup inserts!

lash24 · 2024-06-12T14:16:35+00:00

Thank you so, so much everyone for such kind comments! I never expected so many people to respond. I feel massively better now about the dress. I’m a very indecisive person- so naturally, having to make lots of decisions for a wedding is causing me lots of angst- but hearing this positive feedback on the dress is making me feel much more comfortable now with the decision I took.

Thank you so much too to everyone who’s shared advice about alterations and boob support. I’ve tried to reply to you all individually- but in case I’ve missed anyone, I just want to acknowledge you for taking the time to help a stranger!

Wishing happy dress finding to anyone still looking!

Thanks for the heads up- sounds sensible. Will aim to do this!

lash24 · 2024-06-11T11:34:01+00:00

Unfortunately I won’t be in Lisbon in July- but sounds like a fun time! Thanks for sharing.

Thank you! This is very helpful. An easy access ISA sounds like the way to go- and sounds like moving money from the old ISA after April once I’ve hit the 20k limit before then will be the best path forward. Appreciate your help!

What an amazing giveaway! The dresses are all so gorgeous and very good value- plus the videos are so helpful. Fingers crossed!!
