Cups sewn in? I’m skeptical

Your seamstress should to be able to add push-up cups, which are thicker and have a bit of a padded ledge underneath to make boobs look great!

Talk to your seamstress! This is literally what you’re paying for—alterations and their expertise! There’s nothing they haven’t seen!


Also, congratulations on your amazing weight loss! That is an incredible feat!

I'm taking my favorite push up bra and cutting off the back where it shows. My seamstress is sewing it into the dress to fit perfectly and hold the girls in place. It's a bit more support over just cups with an added under wire and half the band. My weight loss journey isn't nearly as drastic as yours (40lbs down) - you go girl! But I do notice I'm a bit saggy without the proper undergarments.

Talk to your seamstress but cups often work only for B and smaller. If you are C or larger you need support they won't provide. Ask the seamstress about boning which will be more effective for larger sizes.

View Quoted Comment Not a bad idea but the top of the dress is pretty sheer in some spots so I’m not sure if that would work or not :/

I would just have the seamstress add cups and make sure the dress is well fitted.

My dress is low front, low back, and I have C cup boobs, so I am opting for boob tape. I tested a patch of it on my skin (wore it for an entire day on my underboob and did a workout in it to make sure I wore it while hot and sweaty) and had no issues removing it, even though I have fairly sensitive and very fair skin. Have you tried boob tape before or just heard bad things? Some adhesives are worse than others.
