I agree with others that I would try to maintain the clean lines of this dress if I were to wear it, because it is so light and pretty. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/piggyback-on-the-slipdress-question#post-1627368 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 13:13:40 +0000 Anonymous 1627368@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, gorgeous dress, and I think that halter neckline would look gorgeous on you. But I'd try to find a strapless bra that doesn't show. A Nordstrom SA gave me a tip on doubling up on the adhesive bras and that has worked for me, though I admit I still feel awkward without my full-on support armour given my age and bra size. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/piggyback-on-the-slipdress-question#post-1627358 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 12:57:12 +0000 Staysfit 1627358@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh!

Not even as keen on introducing a whole new color like teal, for this great tonal print in your soft corals. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/piggyback-on-the-slipdress-question#post-1627309 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 09:49:03 +0000 Staysfit 1627309@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sadie and Gigi, I have tried a lot of strapless bras but not the Calvin Klien! Funny that I haven't because that brand tends to work well for petite women. It comes in my size which many don't so I plan to stop at Macy's to see if it will work. I have been hopeful about a strapless bra before only to wear it for a few hours and then find it sliding so the real test won't be the department store try on, it will be at home! I agree however that if I could find one that works it would open up some options! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/piggyback-on-the-slipdress-question#post-1627286 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 05:57:15 +0000 Gigi 1627286@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Personally, I would feel less than fab wearing a bra that showed with this dress. The dress has very clean lines and a pretty pattern, and I think that a visible bra would be a distraction. My recommendation would be to go to a reputable department store and have a knowledgeable salesperson help you with trying some strapless bras. I had a hard time with strapless bras until I found the right ones. Having strapless bras really opens up a lot more options for tops and dresses; I am so grateful to have mine in my wardrobe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/piggyback-on-the-slipdress-question#post-1627217 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 02:34:21 +0000 Sadie 1627217@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have this one:<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www1.macys.com/shop/product/calvin-klein-naked-glamour-strapless-push-up-bra-f3493?ID=650151">http://www1.macys.com/shop/pro.....?ID=650151</a> <br />and have had no problems- stays in place fine (and have worn to weddings etc where it has gotten a workout)- and I am tiny (!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/piggyback-on-the-slipdress-question#post-1627200 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 01:57:15 +0000 Sal 1627200@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a couple of dresses with similar necklines to this. &nbsp;I wear a strapless bra and have little or no side bra showing.</p> <p>I have a top like this which I wear with a cami underneath - mine is see through and my tummy is not my best feature so I am more self conscious about showing that, than my bra:)</p> <p>For casual summer dinners or lunches, BBQs etc I would totally show a little coloured bra or bandeau top, either matching or contrasting. &nbsp;I would not for work or a formal dinner or wedding. &nbsp;I would not choose a nude colour but either sharp white or teal or coral.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/piggyback-on-the-slipdress-question#post-1627198 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 01:47:01 +0000 Staysfit 1627198@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know Joy, I am making up reasons to wear this dress! &nbsp;Dinner at the restaurant by the lake on Saturday night is the best one. &nbsp;Fresh air theatre in the summer is another. &nbsp;Its hard to say whether the bandeau bra would work in &nbsp;those settings. &nbsp;They are not formal situations. &nbsp;I like the idea of looking for a halter style dress instead. &nbsp;Maybe I could find one. &nbsp;DH really liked this dress. &nbsp;I should post a pic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/piggyback-on-the-slipdress-question#post-1627191 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 01:36:14 +0000 Anonymous 1627191@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The color is lovely but where are you going to wear this dress? It doesn't seem likely that you would want a bra/bandeau showing at wirk or a special occasion. Would you wear it as a beach cover-up? Then your swim top could show. It sounds like too much work to me. How about looking for a halter style? Then you could have the bare shoulders and wear a halter style bra. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/piggyback-on-the-slipdress-question#post-1627185 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 01:28:42 +0000 Staysfit 1627185@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I found a halter dress I really love. &nbsp;However, I would need the dreaded strapless bra, which typically falls down to my waist when I wear it! &nbsp;I had an idea of wearing a Bandeau style bra (which may stay up better with my narrow frame) &nbsp;in a teal color, which would be very obvious and purposeful. &nbsp;The bandeau only shows on the sides because the dress is well lined. &nbsp;However, if my bra is going to show, I think it should look deliberate, right? &nbsp;What do you think? &nbsp;Should I pass on this style of dress because of the bra issue or should I try to make it work in a creative way? </p>
