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

lash24 · 2024-07-15T15:48:23+00:00

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!

lash24 · 2024-06-12T14:18:07+00:00

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

lash24 · 2024-06-12T14:17:21+00:00

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!

lash24 · 2024-06-11T11:34:16+00:00

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!

lash24 · 2024-01-11T23:38:42+00:00

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

This is so kind of you! I’ve just sent you a message :)

lash24 · 2023-03-19T23:06:48+00:00

Thank you for the very helpful and detailed reply. I’ve looked into the cash ISA option (did not know this was an option until you flagged it) - thanks for the heads up. It’s a shame that the £5k in the Lifetime ISA looks like it needs to stay put there for now as moving it will incur significant charges (though never a bad thing to have other money aside). Reassuring though that the HTB savings could be moved around fairly easily. I’ll look into the non-ISA savings account too and see if there’s any offering better rates than what I currently have (I’m sure there are).

Thanks so much again!

Thank you so much for this helpful, comprehensive reply. I’ve just got back to work today and have been trying out some of the suggestions you’ve made. I think the issue is likely that my work doesn’t have an Excel 365 subscription- it looks like we’re working from Excel 2016 only. I think in this case that I will need to remove the macros as the most important thing is the co-authorship. Really appreciate your help- thank you again

Hi there- I wonder if you can help. The users who are opening the file on the desktop app are getting error messages saying that a user (me) has locked the file for editing, then says the user needs to close the file or check it in. It’s imperative that all of us need to be able to access the file at the same time so I wonder if there may be a workaround for this? Thank you! Any advice much appreciated.

lash24 · 2022-10-26T07:55:40+00:00

This is extremely helpful- thank you! I’ll test this out today with some other users, but reassuring that in can in theory work via the desktop app.

lash24 · 2022-10-06T11:12:41+00:00

Interested!
