Help with Bra Issue

Ladies, has anyone gone braless or considering it, I'm having a hard time finding a good fitting strapless bra, I'm between a A and a B cup, but I need a 40 band size, I was at a Victoria's Secret because I want something cute, lacy and sexy, they wanted to squeeze me into a 38 band size which is...

but I need a 40 band size, I was at a
Victoria's Secret because I want something cute, lacy and sexy, they wanted to squeeze me into a 38 band size which is way to tight, I can't find a 40B which isn't to big, so I'm thinking my boobs are small enough that I can get away with no bra, opinions please!!!!!!

    Thank you Mandi, I didn't think about a bra extender either, I'd really like to find something padded and lacy, or I have plenty of time to get 400CC implants, but that's $7,500 I don't want to spend, but I'm SO SELF CONSCIOUS, I'm really close to doing it!!!!

    Oh nooooooo. My mom had a friend who just had to have her implants removed because they were making her ill. Idk if it was leaking or what, but boobies shouldn't try to kill you.


    I have a friend from college who is an exotic dancer and still takes in the cash with itty bittys!
    Shoulders back, head up. Confidence (or faking it til you have it) is way sexier than any cup size!

    Okay, thank you Mandi, I was concerned about possible leaks, that's scary, I guess a sexy padded bra is a better option, if I can find one that works, and I see my doctor next week, they were talking about increasing my estrogen dosage anyway, I'll ask about that, to see if that will help increase my cup size, THANK YOU SO MUCH for your advice!!

    I'm a small C and I'm going to have cups sewn into my dress so I don't have to worry. My dress is JUST low enough in the back that a strapless bra would be visible. Strapless bras are miserable anyway. Lol

    Thanks Paula, do you know anybody who has had padded sewn in cups? I am terrified of looking flat chested for pictures, I've got 13 months to go so I'm hoping my increased estrogen dosage will help me.

    Yes, my soon to be sister in law is smaller than me and she had cups sewn in due to having an open back wedding dress. She looked very nice, even with me knowing she had cups sewn in. I'm sure your seamstress could just kind of pin it in your dress so you could get an idea if you ask.

    I'm planning on going braless and I'm a 32DD/34C. A tailor can sew cups into your dress for additional support and coverage if you need. In a well fitted dress, I actually think going braless is a great option because it feels less restrictive and more breathable, as long as the support is there.

    You can definitely have cups sewn in. I purchased my dress pre-owned and the previous bride had had push-up cups sewn in on top of the ones already put in the dress by the manufacturer, just to give her a bit more volume.

    You can also get pasties or silicone adhesive "chicken cutlets" which will allow you to not have to deal with a bra but will add a bit of extra padding. They'll stick right to your tatas so you don't have to deal with uncomfortable bands or wires. They aren't as freeing as going completely braless, but they'll protect you from a nip slip and also add some oomph.

    I want a little more "lift" for my girls in my dress (it's both plunge/deep-v and backless) so will probably do boob tape or silicone covers for a little extra support and protection against an accidentally nip-slip.


    My MOH is a 30B/32A and is planning to have padded cups added to her dress.
