But why the spaghetti straps? I think it dips too low in the back for a strapless bra.
Sigh.....

ETA the print version

Just my style of dress and I have not been a dress person in the past. But I don't know how you keep the boobs up in a dress like that I need foundation that locks me in.

Yeah I need a bra too. And those stick on thingies only work for smaller cups.
But still I love that dress.

Love both but could never wear them at my height, plus the boobage area would bother me. I could see myself fidgeting a lot.

I love the citron/black version!

And haha. That's what duct tape is for.

Surely you could find a black tank-like bra to go under it that would look like it was supposed to be there?

What about something like that fab black bra Mary bought with the gorgeous straps at the back? Shoot....I can't remember what it was called now....

Ooh, that's a gorgeous dress! I don't have a solution to the bra issue, but I like IK's idea.

It was Marlies Dekkers bra that MsMary has. I have some but the straps are very thick.
The dress is in stock here in Seattle. I'm going to try it on tonight.

That's it! I think that could work beautifully Anna - the back straps just become part of the dress. Have fun trying it one

They're both pretty but I feel too self conscious wearing something so low cut.

Oh wow, that's a stunning dress! I can see the "issues" though - the nurses told me that they used to duct tape their boobs when they couldn't find a bra that worked. That sounded EXTREMELY PAINFUL to me, but it might be an option?

That's a gorgeous dress!
I have never tried it but there is this odd-looking low-back plunge bra thingy that might work:

Anna I hope you take pictures they both are lovely and I would bet you would look lovely in either one. Don't the "movie stars" use some form of tape I wish we could ask? Maybe Angie knows hopefully she will read this thread.

If you were to use duct tape you could put a tiny bit of gauze over the most sensitive parts.

That is really cool, but I hear you on the spaghetti strap thing. Frankly, I think it's really hard to get away with spaghetti straps unless you're really young or small in the chest. To me, they usually look too insubstantial on those of us with boobs.

I personally have just enough chest that going without support is no fun. Also, let's be honest, I'm not as perky as I once was. Going without a coordinated bra in any spaghetti-strap dress that doesn't have internal support -- pass!!!

For less formal dresses I do like the Gap cotton bralettes. They usually work really well.
