Bustier vs. adhesive bra

Melissa, on February 19, 2011 at 2:32 AM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 14

My dress is clingy, especially around the torso. And it has a low back.

I also need some oomph in the bustline to fill it out. Sewn in bra cups don't work very well and are slightly visible.

So I need a bustier that is smooth/seamless, low-backed, and push-up. Does something like that actually exist?

Also are the sticky bras a better option?

Sorry - I am clueless about this stuff!

    As low of a back as this dress has, I would say your best bet would be some sort of an adhesive bra.. when looking for a bra myself I don't remember seeing any that would be low enough in the back to not show with this particular dress.

    I once had a bustier that went from the waist up, and was super super low in the back. I'm pretty sure that i found it at a JC Penny or Macy's.

    I wrote a comment on the hidden post before you hid it... check it out.

    Check at how low the dress goes on the model. If it goes that low on you, even the super low back bras might show. You might need the sticker bras.

    The black one is called a backless bra.

    3rd one

    I love the dress!!! I have a similar cut dress, I had cups and a slip sewn in, due to having the back so low. Did not cost much, check with you seamstress.

    Hayley C. - THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for (a) notifying me of your prior post, and (b) re-posting your suggestions, links, pictures, etc. The board was being finicky, and I ended up submitting the question twice. It took me a few minutes to notice the duplicate and I tried to hide it thinking that nobody had responded! I hadn't known of your prior response before you mentioned it in this thread. Thank you again.

    It's hard to find one that works with a dress like that. I'd say your best bet would be the one from VS. Sticky bras only work if you aren't large chested. I've tried them (40D) and they just suck.

    You can try a longline backless bra. It's not exactly "backless," but the back clips down low near the waistline. Here are some pictures of one. The brand/model is QT 1710. (I should mention that I have not tried this item personally.)

    It depends on your body. If you need some lift in the bust area- most sticky bras won't work for that.

    I'm um, larger- and soemthing without support doens't hold and I *jiggle*

    This may sound crazy- but I'd suggest a sticky bra and some duct tape- yes, I said duct tape. It's actually very popular for pageantry.

    Along the same lines as the duct tape. Try sports tape there was a bride on here that still pops in from time to time that used it.

    Another option you might consider is Felina 23885. You can usually adjust the back on these bras to make it somewhat lower, if needed. A downside might be the shoulder straps. I'm not sure if they would show or not.

    Isabelle C. - Thanks for your idea. I think it would be difficult to make shoulder straps NOT show.

    Meghan B. and Riyukku - I'd thought about tape and I might try it if I can't find a workable bra. Thanks for the suggestion.

    Okay, I found another one. Carnival 206. No straps, smooth, and low back.
