I hope she will not sweat too much... I will get her a few different options and she will decide. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-bra-for-this-dress#post-1722796 Fri, 02 Sep 2016 23:11:25 +0000 Tanya 1722796@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have one of those backless bras and wear it occasionally with special dresses, but I am much smaller at 30D.&nbsp; The support is on the lighter side. It works well enough for me, though I have to be cautious and not wear it when I might be sweating a lot as those clear side panels stick to the skin and the stickiness gets seriously diminished when the skin gets wet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-bra-for-this-dress#post-1722779 Fri, 02 Sep 2016 22:55:37 +0000 Joyce B 1722779@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Tanya. I don't think DD will want the long torsoed bra then.<br /> Do you think the backless bra will make her feel with no support? I have never worn one of those things, I generally get a dress that conforms to the bra and not the other way around. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-bra-for-this-dress#post-1722775 Fri, 02 Sep 2016 22:50:31 +0000 Tanya 1722775@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Joyce, I think a bustier is a long-line bra, or corset if you want, like Angie's&nbsp; find #4.&nbsp; </p> <p>I don't think the back cross strap can be worn with the backless bra you show, as it usually attaches to bra hooks, and backless br does not have any.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-bra-for-this-dress#post-1722771 Fri, 02 Sep 2016 22:46:19 +0000 Joyce B 1722771@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all!<br /> I ordered the fashion tape and the cross back strap, Diana.<br /> -Angie, can you wear the cross back strap with a Backless Strapless Underwire Push-Up Bra? Is that what you called a bustier? If you wear the cross straps with a bustier (provided that the picture below is called that) do you not attach it to you with the tape but only with the strap? Or do you do both?<br /> -Aida, that's such a good idea too.<br /> -Tanya, those are so pretty!<br /> The thing is, it has to be DD approved, meaning comfy and price conscious which makes things a bit more involved. I am trying to help her with this as she is busy with her studies. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-bra-for-this-dress#post-1722754 Fri, 02 Sep 2016 22:32:24 +0000 Tanya 1722754@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also find Fashion tape at department stores such as Nordstrom and Macy's. </p> <p>I would look for a "balconette" bra with thinner straps and matching color to the dress (attaching a couple just for the visual the shape).&nbsp; They have 3/4 cups and very wide set straps that look perfect for your DD's dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-bra-for-this-dress#post-1722749 Fri, 02 Sep 2016 22:27:49 +0000 Angie 1722749@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lots of options. See Finds. You can add transparent straps to the bustier.&nbsp;</p> <p>You can get fashion tape at Bed, Bath &amp; Beyond, Target or Amazon.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-bra-for-this-dress#post-1722748 Fri, 02 Sep 2016 22:27:29 +0000 Diana 1722748@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><a href="http://m.shop.nordstrom.com/s/nordstrom-lingerie-low-back-strap-1-hook-bra-attachment/2933027?origin=keywordsearch-personalizedsort&#038;fashioncolor=NUDE" rel="nofollow">http://m.shop.nordstrom.com/s/.....color=NUDE</a></p> <p>This is the bra back thing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-bra-for-this-dress#post-1722746 Fri, 02 Sep 2016 22:25:56 +0000 Diana 1722746@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fashion tape:<br /> <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0006IO3NG/ref=mp_s_a_1_3_a_it?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1472854946&#038;sr=8-3&#038;keywords=fashion+tape&#038;pi=SY200_QL40" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d.....SY200_QL40</a><br /> There's other brands but this is the one I've used and it works pretty well. </p> <p>I think you might be able to find a regular bra that will work with that dress. Look for skinny straps and a narrow back band. There's also a contraption you can get to lower the back band of a bra. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-bra-for-this-dress#post-1722742 Fri, 02 Sep 2016 22:21:38 +0000 Aida 1722742@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There are bras with a u-shaped scoop back, or perhaps a demi with clear straps? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-bra-for-this-dress#post-1722735 Fri, 02 Sep 2016 22:03:28 +0000 Joyce B 1722735@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>DD got the bridesmaid dress below and now I am wondering what type of bra goes with it. She wears 36C or 34D.<br /> Can cups be added to the dress and if so would they be supportive?<br /> She is not too keen on buying a strapless bra although she may have to. I find those extremely hard to fit, even worse than regular ones.<br /> Please help with this, I need all the suggestions you can share.<br /> Also, where can I find fashion tape?<br /> TIA. </p>
